Hey there. I’ve been a Deadspin reader for a long time but never bothered to set up an account until now. I also have HCM, and this was the first thing I thought when I read about this tragedy.

Kerr is the best part. +1

I think the older players saw the writing on the wall and retired after getting a sweet World Cup ride. I agree — there is a lot of talent waiting to get on the national team.

+1 WPS RoY and +1 Golden Boot in Sweden :)

Honor your Mom and make that split pea soup!

Give the smart phones back to the adults and the hockey sticks and jump rope back to the youths. Everybody is fucking up.

Interesting trivia, the visual effect for the speederbikes zooming through the forest was thought up and shot like in one day. Some dude just took a camera with ultra low (high?) speed film and literally walked through the forest. Boom, zooming forest footage for all your speederbike needs.

honestly its the most straightforward platform of any presidential candidate with regards to avoiding mass shootings

I love this one;

The problem is not that she’s a white person leading an NAACP chapter. The problem is that she’s a white person who seemingly lied about being black and then headed an NAACP chapter.

*SPIT TAKE*

I live in Mexico. When I was about 12, I became obsessed with the Warriors, for whatever reason. I’d draw the logo in my notebooks, and very detailed portraits of Chris Webber(!) Tim Hardaway and a very masterful cartoon (for a 12-year-old,) of Don Nelson.

I love this. We need more #PodiumKids at press conferences. They make them way more interesting.

Can someone please tell Doug Collins that the relevant stat when it comes to the Warriors’ comfort level vis-a-vis playing at a slower pace is not how well they do when they hold <i>opponents</i> under 100 (what, you mean they usually win those games? crazy!), but whether they can win when they <i>themselves</i> score…

I get where you’re coming from. I can absolutely say with no shadow of a doubt that such a contract written before the loss of sensibility would not hold, tho.

Fixt.

Not to mention, some kids are more difficult than others. And your huggy, smothering bullshit parenting style works when they are 4 and doesn’t work when they are sixteen.

There's a woman bragging about giving her husband's mistresses naked photos to a family member and she's being called "a flawless human".
