You played in college?!

The expansion of the rule means a player can do this on any dropped pitch, not just the third strike. That is new.

You joke, but it is kind of incredible to me that Lebron doesn’t have enough juice with Nike to make this happen.

I also love Deadspin and think Barstool sucks, but never missing an opportunity to shit talk the opposition has been corporate policy since the Gawker days.

Those tires are also constructed much differently than a street tire. This is an absurd comparison.

And as you said, these are mandated, not chosen by the teams for ultimate performance.

Big wheels are a necessity because people keep buying huge cars with huge wheel wells. Stop buying stupid and bad cars. 

I’m not a big Barstool guy and always prefer to read Deadspin, but...

Looks like there were some communication failures here:

They’ve lost to so many different men’s teams, U18, U17, U20, D1 and D3 college teams as “tune ups”, because that’s the level of men’s play that they can conceivably hang in. Do you think they weren’t trying *at all* in the U15 game? But regardless, *anyone* with *any* experience in athletics at a competitive level…

The USWNT and the USMNT compete at the same level. And, arguably, our women compete at a higher level than the men

Should US soccer send money to USMNT members that play in the MLS to subsidize their MLS salaries like they do for USWNT members that play in the failing women’s professional league?

The problem lies here: “I don’t care which team earns more for US Soccer or less.” 

I don’t think this was a good way for Koenigsegg to correct the record. They should have tweeted, “Quick jump on this One:1 before Bonham’s figures out how much it’s really worth”... which would have alerted Koenigsegg’s Saudi clientele, that follow their Twitter page, this auction is coming up and they need to bid…

If you’ve ever had a genuine Peking Duck in China, you know for a fact it belongs at the bottom of any list of ducks.  It’s garbage food for tourists.

The NY Post said that it was related to Ortiz having an affair with a drug lord’s wife and while I’m loathe to give the Post any sort of journalistic credit, I wouldn’t be surprised if it were true here. Why the hell else would 6-10 people agree to split such a piddly amount of money to try to kill maybe the most…

Juan Wick.

Everyone’s an armchair assassin.

I know you’re just dropping cat nip for the Deadspin readership by mentioning Harden and CP3 even though this game had nothing to do with the rockets, but certain teams just don’t like each other and I think it’s pretty clear the warriors and rockets don’t like each other. This isn’t youth sports

Pretty Biased, I’d say.

I endured listening to guys talk the other day about the “lack of star power left” in these playoffs... When reminded of Bergeron, one literally said, “True fan see his nuances and what makes him special, but he’s not flashy enough to be a superstar...” I mean, to some extent, they said the same shit about Lidstrom,…

That’s not what happened at all, but I do enjoy these constant examples of PC Game Launcher Wars being more petty and immature than the Console Wars ever were. Keep ‘em coming.
