I wish deadspin was around when RDS (the french Canadian ESPN..yes, really) had putt putt golf as one of their main attractions (yes, really).

Chris Pontius and Steve O did the ant mitt on an episode of Wildboyz in the 2000s. Their hands swelled up to 5x normal size, both were shaking uncontrollably, and they ended up in the ER. That show was great.

Also, by the time the civil trial rolled around Simpson was represented by a single, solitary good-but-not legendary law talker guy (Bob Baker) instead of The Dream Team.

This is actually a civil suit. Jane Doe didn’t report the rape to the police or file charges until after suing.

Can we create a law that states we get no information about the accuser or the accused until after the trial has been concluded? In this country you are supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty but with the way our society is set up there is no way either person can say they got a fair trial because most…

Which is why rape kits (and fuck the places that they are so far behind on processing them) are so important. If she had gone in the next day (and i know it’s hard, and i get everything that goes into it, i’m just saying) we wouldn’t be having any of this conversation.

Totally, I wish we lived in a place where one doesn’t need to proven guilty to face a lifetime of punishment.

I think this was Drew’s best article on Deadspin to date.

Waiting to pass judgment is never a bad thing, imo. It’s not like anyone is keeping score on how long it takes you to condemn a person.

Not believing anyone is a reasonable take until you learn all the evidence. This is assuming you are supportive and not a dick to alleged victims until you have enough information to form an opinion.

I am so angry that the Duke lacrosse case has completely obliterated my spidey sense.

That was the best thing you’ve ever written you jackass

Geez Magary. Way to play right into the hands of BIG TISSUE

You do what any other adult with an awesome kid does these days:
Film her tearing it up at the skate park, upload it to Youtube, and then watch it go viral on all the Facebook pages. Ovaries everywhere will explode over how awesome she is and then women in their twenties and thirties will lament that they didn’t get a…

My kid will be four in December, and she’s a goddamn demon on a bike. Not a balance bike or a bike with training wheels, an honest-to-goodness two-wheeler, and she’s been dominating that thing for a year now. At first I was apprehensive, but I figured if I slapped a helmet on her head and kept an eye on her she’d be…

Drew, Canada has an amazing national anthem!

Those shopping bags are no longer reusable.

Congrats on 40.

the worst part of being injured is never the physical pain... it’s the emotional pain of having to change the way you live and giving up the things you love do either temporarily or permanently
