ALL sports fandom is inherently irrational, and only pathetically lame idiots give a shit about the “validity” of other people’s rooting interests.

I know, it’s like Annakarenina is living such a fuller life than he did as an 18-year-old debutante.

Neither of which is even the EPL’s best team. It’s such a bad take that I’m gonna chalk it up to sarcasm.

I’d give it a shot. Roughly 15% of the deadcast is spent discussing actual sports.

I didn’t see the warning about Jack Edwards and now I need to take the rest of the day off.

I click on every Mike Francesa story here just in the hope of recreating that magic.

Not to take anything away from Rivera, but the fact that he’s the first unanimous selection in history -- and not, say, Aaron/Mays/Mantle/Musial/Koufax/etc. -- speaks to the unending stupidity of the BBWAA.

False. They chose to spend their anniversary at someone else’s wedding.

He nevuh said dat.

Counterpoint: combine NFL coaches’ (usually irrational) obsession over “distractions” with the razor-thin margin that separates most NFL kickers from one another, and I’d say that it’s a bad decision to do anything that could make a team even a little apprehensive about signing you.

I believe the point is that if you’re an outfielder, the only way you’re making more than the average NFL QB is if you’re a superstar.

I’m not sure the last part is accurate because there are plenty of NFL linebackers who wouldn’t make that play either, but yeah, 3-4 inches lower and that ball is at least tipped, if not straight picked by Wilson.

“most mass-produced candy is awful if you don’t have the palate of a 6-year-old”

“Hall of Famer Harold Baines” is the “Oscar Winner Nic Cage” of the sports world.

Yeah, it’s definitely a racial thing. It couldn’t possibly be a merit-based discussion, right?

I think I speak on behalf of the rest of the Deadspin fan community when I say that we can’t wait for Drew to return so that we can insult and berate him into publishing the W-S Hater’s Guide retroactively.

What a fucking stupid statement. The idea that you can’t instill good behavior and discipline in a child without hitting him or her shows nothing but failure as a parent.

As loathsome as most of them are, I can’t see how I can cast a ballot for anyone other than Ingraham.

The Waterboy is straight up trash.

Halal cart. Chicken over rice + gyro + soda.
