Demagogue? You’re calling me a demigod? The best! The demigod of wall-building. It’ll be great. Just great.

Daulerio is certainly pissed off at the line of these comments. Hulk smash

hella was tots ginormous back around Y2K in SoCal.

I’m in california, and I thought that hella was not used anymore. shows how much I pay attention.

so, basically this is a the start of crowdfunding effort to purchase the “right equipment”

hmmm, but a precise lateral isn’t expressly forbidden. Just a forward pass or a backward pass.

so, you were checking out the breast of some chick?

i don’t see any happy little trees or a happy house.

but but Gronk is on “Q” status with an injured lower body (was more amusing when I thought it was a groin pull rather than hamstring), and he still gets the start!

diphthongs are when a fat, but well endowed, man wears a thin string-based bathing suit, right?

so, is the NFL going to now start investigating situations where someone was marked as Questionable or Doubtful and actually plays?

‘tis possible. But then you can declare a flagrant or intentional foul in addition to the standard foul and subject the fouling player to ejection, suspension and fines if needed.

hypothetical question: could NFL teams get around the special teams restrictions by claiming that their “4th down defense” squad is not part of special teams, but is part of the defensive unit? Protections for allowing the long-snapper to regain balance before being hit would be in place still, because HIS team is…

There are rules about where no fielders are allowed to be, but I don’t believe that there are any rules that restrict how many players are allowed to be in a particular location (other than the total on the field as a whole). It’s possible that the catcher is the only one permitted to be outside the foul lines though…

As a fellow (former) second baseman, I assure you that it was accurate for me. #humblebragtime: Tim Foli, at the time a MLB first-base coach (and former MLB SS), had a kid on my little league team. He mentioned that he liked the way I played my position. This was particularly startling because I typically had…

I probably should have actually read through the grays. Fortunately for me, on the main deadspin domain I’m out of the grays. But I still have to deal with being in the grays on subdomains (e.g. regressing) and other kinjarific sites (io9, jez).

mine or hers?

basketball should probably adopt one of hockey’s rules: the penalty is delayed until the ball changes possession. If the team scores, the penalty is “called off.” If not, they could take their freethrows or just get the ball to inbound again (rather than go with a faceoff/tipoff).

When I was a kid, I had a hard time understanding why there was only one shortstop on the infield. Someone probably explained to me that there are more right-handed hitters than left, but I still found the whole concept of infield imbalance unsettling. Why not be equally as prepared for left-handed hitters as you…

does football disallow any defensive formations? or just offensive?
