I was surprised; I was only expecting the teams to exchange burns.

Dammit im in tears over here. +15...or would that be under 15? either way, good stuff.

Best thing I've read in weeks. Thanks.

Earl Lloyd, the first black man to play in the NBA, has passed away at the age of 86. Yahoo wrote a very nice profile of Lloyd in 2009. [WXYZ]

I recently came to terms with the fact that I will battle addiction to drugs and alcohol for the rest of my days. To "win" requires a lifetime of vigilance. The only thing that helps the canyon of emptiness within me is to talk to other addicts each and every day. I can't even imagine having the money and lifestyle…

Jesus Christ ... poor guy. I didn't even expect him to regain 100% of what he had, but I'd hoped he could still put together a couple solid years during his prime (which should be beginning this year).

These kids did more for baseball than anything short of normalizing relations with Cuba in the past year. These kids reconnected the sport to places where ballfields were dried up and…

Nacho Monreal has been a rock since December, Bill. Paulista will have to fight for his place, and as it stands Monreal remains first choice ahead of Gibbs.

"So tell him Bobby said he's coming after him."

There's always the incident when Luis Figo returned to Camp Nou in Real Madrid's colors and Barcelona fans threw a pig's head at him.

Other things that are Phoenix as Fuck?

God told me to post that. I closed my mind and opened up my keyboard to Him.

Can I nominate Marshawn Lynch for the 2014 Deadspin Hall of Fame?

I'm a Blackhawks fan. Carcillo is the worst. He's the Suh of the NHL, just not as good.
