Just wait until it crosses over onto The Takeout and someone writes a make-believe letter to The Salty Waitress: “Dear Salty, if I recline my airplane seat into the person behind me, do I have to tip my server?”

CC Sabathia pitching 3 games in a row on 3 days’ rest to get the Brewers into the playoffs is one of the coolest baseball things ever

Because Lauren isn’t a particularly intelligent person and only knows how to stir up shit online. 

I’m not sure why you pick this one topic to (presumably derisively) attribute all the comments to “white men” talking about sports issues. Isn’t this also the whole basis for Deadspin comments?  Isn’t this something that actually most Americans agree on?  Why go looking for a divisive angle?

The only thing journalists (of all types, not just at Deadspin) hate more than threats to freedom of press and expression is internet commenters.  I’m not sure where Lauren’s assumption that the commenters are “white men” comes from, though.

I really have to start asking, why is every cold open political nowadays? It’d be one thing if they were great sketches, but more often than not they’re humorless and obligatory

And yes, some people in the grays are trying to give me shit again about this.

So what your saying is people should conform to your views but you don’t have to conform to others views? Sorry its not how adulting works.

Legends say that in the before-time....in the time of my father’s father, there were tony hawk games that were good. But Tony Hawk soared too high and too proud and the Allfather cast him down and turned him into Bam Margera.

Pretty sure he's upset that Detroit 10s are LA 6s.
