Can you let me know when you will be returning to sports coverage so I can go back to checking in once or twice per day? I have a lot to do today at work and all of these posts about non-sports topics are distracting because I Must Read Every Single One of Them. Whereas with the sports stuff I really only care if its…

I do have a law degree, as do the judges who wrote this decision. I worked a law clerk for nearly 3 years.

Yes, and he’s right. The statute is design to punish worse dealers who go “Oh, we changed your oil and replaced your fuel filter,” but didn’t DO that. It is not designed to punish ordinary negligence in “oh, we changed your oil, but did it poorly.” One represents a fraud on the customer, the other is just negligent.

And in this case the court was right. There was nothing unfair or deceptive about forgetting to tighten the lug nuts, what was just negligence. In this case the mechanic *did* actually rotate the tires, he just did a shitty job at it.

...sounds like a YouTube channel with four million subscribers.

He voluntarily signed for QPR, so that’s highly questionable!

I’ll always appreciate him because he was the first pitcher to win the Cy Young despite not winning many games thus pissing off all the old baseball people. 

It’s not about being loyal to a stranger, it’s contrarianism as performative intellectualism.

Kind of shocked by this.

I think R8s from those years are aging better than any other supercar of the era. Matt Farah actually tweeted about this exact thing today. The R8 is timeless.

I mean, if we’re talking about what cars aged the most gracefully, I still maintain that the RX-7 FD could have been sold with the same body today that it had all through the 1990s (and if pop-up headlights were still legal, damn the regulators).

I’m highly biased, but I’ll take my 15 year old Viper for that price with the 1 in front removed. Good looks, V10 power (and torque), and only comes in a stick, all in a price an average person could actually buy one day and not just dream about. Admittedly you are going to give up something in comfort, but if it’s…

The fact that this is still grey after eight stars leads me to believe that Deadspin hates dissent.

So we’re all agreed then: VAR is a good thing and that handball rule sucks,

hey, another anti-VAR Deadspin article! This one making a strained cancer-cold analogy.  It’s funny that as more and more people and pundits are coming around on VAR and realizing that the real problem is vague or poorly worded rules Deadspin keeps digging in. If only they had something new to say instead of rehashing…

Yes, I recall the halcyon days of yesteryear when there were no weekly controversies in soccer based on disputed handballs and offsides calls.

It’s the same as last week, when VAR disallowed a gorgeous Man City goal because it decided that Raheem Sterling’s shoulder was offside by a couple centimeters.
