He’s behind you right now.

I had forgotten how good Tom Petty was in King of the Hill, and it had not occurred to me that now both Luanne and Lucky are dead. I guess the irony is that whoever played Buckley is almost certainly still alive.

It’s always good to be reminded that he’s definitely dead.

I’m from LA, and I hate him. Worst teammate in history. Who cares if he might be the best 1 on 1 player ever. The Lakers scored just as many points per minute with him on the court as him off the court after he screwed over Shack.

Some hard data....

Never forgotten. The first thing I’ve ever thought when I heard his name is “got away with rape because sportsball and tourist dollars.” It’s all I will ever think. But the case was on my home turf, and I know how poorly the ski towns handled rape, especially when the victim was staff and the accused was wealthy. Not…

Ever since they started playing vocals over the top of the In Memoriam segment, I just can’t.

You missed the part where he basically publicly confessed too so there is quite literally no deniability.

Every single time I hear about Bryant - all of his awards, the massive accolades he got when he retired - I remember this case and shake my head. And you know what else I remember? More people had words about the giant diamond ring he bought his wife ‘as an apology for cheating on her’ than they did for the fact that…

They didn’t even nominate her for Spaceballs.

I’m still mad that freaking Roger Ailes merited an “In Memoriam” last year.

The fucksticks in the Academy snubbed Joan Rivers; they will never not fuck this up.

Wait wait wait. I totally missed Powers Boothe dying and now I’m genuinely frightened because there’s like a zero percent chance he isn’t going to eventually come back as some kind of revenant that will terrorize us all.

When this weekend started off with the Weinstein Frontline episode completely erasing Rose McGowan from the story when she was a crucial key in unmasking him, I sensed it was an bad omen of disappointment that would come.

And Jimmy Kimmel pals around with Kobe. So much for that ally

Just in case any jez readers don’t recognize the byline, Diana is basically one of the raddest women employed by gmg. Deadspin is lucky to have her there. 👍🏻

Seriously, fuck this guy.

The Kobe thing is infuriating because sports radio hosts named her and said she deserved to lose her anonymity because she accused someone of rape. It’s also disgusting that Kobe was given a hero’s exit when he retired and everyone pretty much forgot about the rape case. Everyone also overlooks the fact that Kobe is a…

Well, you tried.

“Is your mother a Bitcoin investor?”

I think Goodell honestly just wants to know which of the two he should invest in.
