“like awarding Virginia possession for knocking the ball out of bounds because it lingered on the fingertips of the Texas Tech player’s hands 0.000001 seconds longer.”

“And sure, the number of total blown calls evens out over time, but not the big ones. It’s not like Auburn is going to end up the finals next year as the beneficiary of a missed double-dribble or some other blown call.”

“Do you really think fans would accept a world in which demonstrably blown calls are just part of the game, when there exists technology to get them right?”

If fans need to accept anything, why not tell them to accept that sometimes super close, impossible to tell without a hundred cameras and super slo-mo calls will sometimes be wrong? We literally tell fans that for the entire rest of the game and they accept it just fine. 3-4 replay reviews taking ten minutes of…

I was rooting for UVA and hate-hate-hated this. The whole tourney was bogged down by ridiculous reviews. “Is there 56.7 or 55.9 seconds left on the clock in the first half?” style questions are utterly absurd and should be completely removed from the game. From the Elite 8 forwards every single game was absolutely…

The interminable reviews are destroying the enjoyability of the game in key moments. I don’t mind a quick review, but put a shot clock on the refs. If you can’t tell who hit the ball out after 25 seconds then the call stands. Basketball is inherently subjective, and there are calls that COULD be made on literally…

It’s always disappointing to go to the comments sections and see the negativity people have for these kinds of posts. No, this guy didn’t put on 20 lbs of muscle in a month- he just got leaner. Yes, he was already in relatively decent shape to start. But heck, he put in a lot of work and got pretty good results from…

The score was 82-80 after the made layup put Baylor up, not 83-81. It’s right there in the gif.

Nobody else is comparing anyone’s fitness to anyone else’s other than you. How is your reading comprehension this bad? And the fact that you keep referencing what the strength of her character should be to her actual, real world strength is just bizarre. You realize she’s an actor, right? She’s not actually Captain…

Defining what someone else should be doing based on what you accomplished, without knowing anything about their goals relative to that metric, their training program, what they started with, etc. etc. etc. is the very definition of a purely arbitrary metric. Her achievements are somehow less-than just because you…

LOL, the irony of your comment is spectacular :)

And that’s based on...what, exactly? Some supplements (creatine for example) are well researched and safe to use, and it’s not like the article said he was recommending wheatgrass suppositories. What’s your basis for attacking this guy’s credentials and recommendations?

See point A above- they’re not assisted.

A) HGH and Steroids aren’t magic elixirs that allow you to do whatever you want in life and get big and strong.

Anyone can get results, not just celebrities. Yes, you’re likely to make faster gains and see faster results if you can afford a trainer/nutritionist/etc., but literally anyone can spend more time moving on a daily basis and improve their health and physique. Don’t hide behind the cop out of “celebrities only look…

A) I don’t see her feet touching the ground.

No update with Giannis’ back breaking rejection of Embiid? Okay...

As someone who knows a number of massage therapists, I can tell you that the fact that anyone considers their profession anywhere in the country to potentially be “erotic” is infuriating and demeaning to them.

Welcome to Deadspin, where if someone the writers have decided they don’t like says something that they would normally agree with they’ll still find ways to attack the person for it. His statement was pretty on point and relevant, not that any of that matters here.

Instead of giving him a T he should give him a very demonstrative Z.
