So as someone who has been planning to buy a new car, my original plan was to wait for black friday to buy a 2019 clogging up a lot from new 2020's. I’m assuming that’s still a good plan, but would it be better to wait until end of year?

I’ve realized, as long as their articles that are either terrible takes or objectively incorrect piss people off, they get engagement. The less I shout “that’s not even the rule, guys!” Maybe the less they’ll publish garbage. But I fear by that point they will have permanently lost me as a reader

True story. I’ve basically stopped reading deadspin entirely at this point and just rarely slink in for soccer, just in case there was a highlight I miss. After deadspin being the #1 most visited site on mine for years, I just expect to see nothing but articles that are (1) probably not even accurate in terms of…

Point of order: there actually are duathlons. 

This is way worse. Would you rather have a black and white rule that is slightly more strict or would you rather have a completely subjective rule that MAY sometimes be less strict, but might be just as strict. All that’s going to happen is that some referees will penalize at 1" off the line and some referees will…

Referee here: you’re right to ask this question, because that’s why this decision is so difficult. The “black and white” part is: you can score with your shoulder, you cannot with your arm. Now, what you deem “part of his shoulder” is left up to interpretation. Maybe it should be, but there isn’t some perfect 45…

OH! That’s it. You did a curse word. No cup for you.

Agreed. They should fine the Blues for all their obscenities. They should fine them approximately 1 Stanley Cup. It would be most appropriate to award it to a team—whatever team, any team, of course—that participated in the final that uttered the fewest expletives during the ceremony. That seems most fair. I wonder…

I don’t mind a well-informed, detailed rant about a manager/coach being upset. But saying his strike zone must be wrong because his guys are savages? Aaron Boone is one step away from crying in a court room screaming that he loves beer and that’s not a crime.

If they wanted to enforce it this way, it would be a corner kick. In general, if the ball goes out over the goal line and it is not a legal goal, it’s either a goal kick or corner kick depending on who last touched it.

My obligation to mention I have run 10+ ultramarathons besets me to mention this disguised as “camaraderie” in response to your 10 similarly named yet categorically lesser named regular marathons.

And even though they may have overpaid for a guy of Bobrovsky’s age and talent

If GM’s really didn’t want offer sheets just to piss each other off, they would try and work them out of the next CBA. They keep them in because everyone loves the sick pleasure of drama and barn fights.

Counter-point, the handling you point out in this article would have been a penalty before the law changes, too. In the soccer community Deadspin has earned a pretty poor reputation equal to the screaming soccer mom and what’s worse, is the seemingly negligible effort to understand and calibrate to basic rules of the…

Could’ve just asked some referees why the change. tldr: IFAB didn’t like how keepers were getting away with murder on some penalties and wanted to enforce the law because, as we all know, unwritten rules are the worst rules. So the new law was less strict (only one foot on the line) and they’re going to enforce it.…

This all comes back to why they are there. They’re there to put the beautiful game on display. If they’re that good, they’re that good. The problem is that Thailand don’t belong there. I’m all for giving people chances, but give teams chances at the confederation level where they’re not going to get destroyed by…

Berube’s comments are the least effort comments you can make when a game doesn’t go your way. “We didn’t take any penalties last game, so why did the refs hate us today?” ummm maybe don’t commit penalties? Maybe don’t do things that are close enough to penalties that it leaves the refs up to a judgment call? The…

Because the puck can’t commit a penalty. They teach the same thing in soccer officiating: the ball can’t foul someone. Don’t get too zoned in on it.

How is House of the Dead 21st?!

100% Landeskog got lazy and he got caught.
