This is what I come to Deadspin for. And the bears. The cow with the soccer ball, too.

Yes, I did mean that as a compliment (to you, not to sex offenders or the Miami Heat fan guy or Guiliani’s buddy or whatever the fuck he is).

It's not easy to insult sex offenders, but you've done it. 

... while Ramsey, of course, is a sweet, easy-going fellow who looks for the good in everyone and just wants to be your friend.

“Hopefully the director has learned that it’s never a great idea to put an 80-year-old guy on TV to talk about anything.”

It would simplify this whole issue if the USOC merged with the NCAA. Then there would be just one venal amateur-athletic racket to take out into the desert and drop in a hole.

They’re jerking around a guy who bought his mother a Ferrari? That kind of brand loyalty deserves a gift basket or a lifetime of free oil changes, not a damn lawsuit.

Davy wouldn’t have taken any shit from a creep like Bud Adams, though.

That’s right! And you know how they had like at least half-dozen episodes that involved characters who strongly resembled Trump? You could combine those two plots, and the shocking twist would be, even though the Trump-type character is a billionaire, he’s having trouble impregnating the world because the only women…

Speaking of the worst people currently blighting the Earth, how do you rank:

I can’t decide: Does Manfred seem to be the dumbest commissioner in the history just because he’s here now, right in front of us, doing stupid things? Or is he, in fact, defying all odds and probabilities, actually dumber than, say, Bud Selig or Peter Urbernoth or Uberfroth or whoever he was or even Bowie Kuhn? Except…

Can’t believe no one has mentioned Bruce Willis. SJP made “Striking Distance” with him, released in 1993. Lousy movie, don’t bother.

Joe Maddon is one of the most gracious gentlemen in the world if thinks there's anything Joe West would be good at.

Give credit to the Dodgers for some ferocious plate discipline, especially the guys who walked with two strikes on them. Two strikes, two out, down a run in the bottom of the ninth. You have to be pretty cold to hold back on just about any pitch within reach in that situation.

People, please — learn the English language. “Strangle” is a dramatic word, but that’s not what the guy did. If he had strangled her she would be dead, not unconscious. “Strangle” means to kill by choking. Words have meanings, and when we’re OK with distorting those meanings to make things sound more dramatic or…

Joe isn’t an asshole, is he?

Bauer “tweets like a 16 year girl on her period”? Deadspin, hire this woman!

You’re bananas.

The Athletic says Richt was told recently he wouldn’t be calling plays next year and the OC would be free to make staff changes. The AD might not actually be as surprised as he says he is.

“... the fans’ grievance stems from their dissatisfaction about ... how things seem to be increasingly moving toward a raw profit-maximization focus at the expense of the fans’ interests ...”
