This was exactly my thought. I have no sympathy for this guy. What a dipshit.

So this article was written solely so Haisley could refer to MLS as a small-time soccer league, right?

Letting Lebron play the actual center spot on defense, mostly as a centerfielder/rim protector, and making Crowder chase the other team’s best wing seems like the best bet to me. That leaves Love to match up on the other team’s big, and you just have to pray he doesn’t get put into too many PNRs, which, if Kevin Love…

Strong disagree on the concept that people should be able to unilaterally blow up the social compact. Should the Montana Freemen have been allowed to succeed? How about Jeff Bezos?

NBA offers set contracts for rookies anyway and they’re well, well above what they’d see on the free market if you want to compare an NBA contract to other leagues around the world so let’s not pretend they’re making peanuts. Most companies have set entry-level salaries which are then negotiable upon a set length of…

Good work Jon. Never let pass the opportunity to be an asshole.

I don’t think it’s this, and actually I don’t think succinctness would help. I know from experience of asking questions that at times you have to ‘guide’ with a question precisely to stop the interviewee from giving a pat, cliced response. So you anticipate that response and try to cover it off in the question.

I also like how the fear of alienating huge swaths of the country only applies to conservatives. White people’s egos need to be soothed at all costs.

This is Lalas in a nutshell. He truly believes soccer is about “leadership,” “grit,” and “determination.” That’s because he knows shit about skill and tactics. USMNT is quite worthy of criticism, but not from this waste of space and his ra ra bullshit.

RIGHT?! I mean it’s not like he went toe to toe with Drew Brees in the playoffs when the saints were actually good or anything!

This wasn’t “The Media”. This was one dipshit who resides on a network where vague statements with no accountability behind them are the norm.

I don’t know if he wrote the script necessarily...

He’s Kim Kardashian. He’s a lifestyle icon.

Maybe Billy should start rooting for a different Spanish team? I’m sure a league as obviously well run and successful as La Liga is positively bursting with teams that are fun to watch and are totally not perpetual cannon fodder! Or maybe Billy could put his money where his pro/rel mouth is and start following some…

How dare deadspin publish a post by Mr. Petchesky, with his slavic sounding name, on this, the 5th anniversary of the Ljubljana Marshes hot air balloon crash in Slovenia. I am aghast at the insensitivity.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a trade where each team ends up with a different-sized version of the player they already had.

If Cleveland parlays this into another Finals trip, the Steph/KD pick and roll against Isaiah/Love is going to be a fucking war crime.

I hope you aren’t referring to the huge swinging punches he throws in that video. Those are so slow Floyd can have Stephen A Smith blow him between dodges.

The not so secret secret of the middle east: Pretty much every Islamist country supports terrorism; it’s just to them their terrorists are “freedom fighters” and the other guys’ terrorists are terrorists. It’s a proxy war going ‘round and ‘round between Sunnis and Shias for decades extending to actual war centuries…

Not saying any of these narratives are untrue, Qatar’s practices on my levels are appalling. But Qatar being accused of sponsoring terrorism by Saudi Arabia and others is stunning in it’s audacity.
