I’m not sure that’s such a great idea, the last time there was a Missouri Compromise it led to civil war.

Well, he’s 86% over his whole career, so not bad, but far from infallible.

If the ads weren’t so overbearing and obtrusive, I wouldn’t use adblock. So many pop-ups and endlessly auto-playing videos and having to watch a :30 commercial to watch a 3:00 long video, then having another one start if you click back, it’s ridiculous. I don’t mind ads on TV nearly as much, because they aren’t so…

I know this shit is a year and a half old, but you earned that star.

What I was saying was that unless one is actually William Faulkner, perhaps one shouldn’t be overly ambitious with sentence length. Nowhere did I say Faulkner was “too difficult” for me; that was your weak inference and weaker attempt to insult me. The post was informative and I’m sure the original poster was trying…

Seems like he was kind of an all-around bad person, really. Good player, definitely, but not a very good man.

I thought it was clear he or she has extensive knowledge of the subject, they just could have done a better job editing for clarity. Shorter, more concise sentences are always better.

They were suspicious because the caller was plainly black, and the clerk had never seen a black person in her store before, because Wisconsin. I find it amusing that she thought robbers would call for the hours as well as stopping by prior so everyone could see and remember their faces. Really, she did the only thing…

It would have been easier to read if the sentences were a bit less Faulkneresque in length. There were like a dozen commas in one of them.

Actually, the likelihood of completing a hail mary pass from 40-50 yards out is about 5%. That’s 25x more likely than a blocked punt being returned for a touchdown. At 51-60 yards it goes down to about 2.5%, which is still 12.5x more likely. He chose the logical path, the path every single football coach in America…

True, but once he dropped it, he picked it up and tried to kick it, which was disastrously wrong. At that point he should have covered it up and fell on it, which is what I meant any American kid would do automatically because they’ve been drilled to do just that since Pop Warner ball. Shit, had he just thrown it back…

Brilliant!

I think I saw that the percentage of blocked punts being returned for TDs is 0.2%. Zero-point-fucking-two percent. Anyone that thinks they should have done anything other than punt is a moron. Imagine if Harbaugh had done something, anything else, and State had won the game with their last play. His legend status…

Only a true Chelsea homer would be shocked by Jose Mourinho acting like an asshole. The guy is a dick from the second he puts on his slippers in the morning to the moment he goes to bed at night.

Europeans aren’t racist?!? Anyone that thinks that is an idiot. During soccer matches, they regularly throw bananas and make monkey noises at black players. Racism is not only alive and well in Europe, it’s far more overt than it is here.

No one that anyone cares about. Being a Deadspin reader and an Arsenal fan rules!

“I realize it’s onside the way the rule is written...”

Well done! Subtle. I wonder how many people that’s totally passing by?

The first doctor didn’t say it was an immediate need, though, at least not from what Norris says in his post. He said he was “given the option to shut [his] year down and have it removed immediately,” not that he was told it needed to be removed immediately. Personally, I would have had cancer treated as soon as…

Sounds accurate.
