He said, and I’m paraphrasing, “Baseball is basically all instinct (factually and wholly wrong). Therefore, you don’t have to be smart to be good at it (wrong again). Baseball is also 1/3 Dominican (really, really wrong). Therefore, b/c Dominicans are poor and uneducated (Holy shit what an asshole but also WTF does…

One of those magical moments where the full context does nothing to change the meaning of the words spoken. Great work Colin
“Deadspin only played an excerpt which made me sound racist. If you listen to the full thing you’d know I’m incredibly dumb AND racist.” - Colin Cowherd
This clip is a perfect distillation of Cowherd. Conflation of two completely unrelated issues with little to no thought put into connecting them? Check. Overtly condescending tone while spouting stuff that makes literally no sense? Check. Not-even-subtle racism masquerading as bold truth-telling? Check.

If, after 9/11, someone had said “what are Americans bitching about? Americans kill Americans every day”, what would you think of that person?
Stephen A. has longstanding contempt for perpetrators of black-on-black crime.
Gwent is NOT a joke.
The lack of Gwent in this video renders it a failure in my eyes.
Not enough of Gwent.. 2/10
YOU MEAN I COULD HAVE JUST EMAILED TOMMY CRAGGS AND SAID I WANTED TO WRITE FOR DEADSPIN THE WHOLE TIME
Tommy Craggs gave me a second chance. I spent nearly three years writing for a different Gawker site, and I hit a point where I was just done. I couldn’t do it anymore. I was looking elsewhere, and my time at the company was up. I didn’t want to leave though, and in a passing conversation, I told Tommy I felt…
Please hire Zach Lowe and Jonah Keri
ACT LIKE YOU’VE BEEN THERE BEFORE, BIRD
