I was really hoping that that 74 year old volunteer who loves birds had ignored the news all weekend and showed up for her shift this morning, sending these jamokes into a tizzy and inadvertently forcing them to surrender. I think starving them out will be hilarious, but I like my scenario more.

This is the issue. No, Trump does not have any particularly fixed ideology, he’s just mouthing off to get as much attention as possible. But the people who support him DO have an ideology, and it’s an awful, Fascist-based one. Trump has accidentally cohered and articulated an actual strain of thought in this country…
Eh. Usually, but man she was terrible in Blue Jasmine. I know everyone thought she was the bee’s knees, but she was so over the top in that, it was embarrassing.
Peter King is a hockey fan now?
Agreed. Nixon was no ideologue, but to think he proposed national health insurance, created the EPA, proposed wage and price controls, and supported the Equal Rights Amendment... it’s kinda mind-blowing.
Yeah, but on domestic policy, by today’s standards, Richard Nixon was crazy liberal. If he hadn’t been so evil in other aspects of his political life, he’d be (legitimately) hailed as a progressive hero.
Jones was a badass in his heyday, no doubt. But watching that clip, you know who else was a complete and total boss? Joan Benoit Samuelson.
Rembert has been pretty open about how much he loved working for Simmons. Greenwald would make a lot of sense at an HBO property, though I'd be sad to lose his criticism.
As a DC resident who has read McKenna’s stuff for a long time, the fact that he’s reporting the hell out of this story comes as no surprise. God help you if McKenna sniffs out something wrong that you’ve done, because he will find it all out.
I love her so much. I want to bring her to Thanksgiving dinner and let 'er rip into conservative uncles.
Seriously. When I defend Harper (WHY DO I HAVE TO DEFEND BRYCE HARPER!?!? ARE PEOPLE NOT PAYING ATTENTION?) to out of town friends, they don’t believe me.
Even for DC’s melodramatic HOT TAEK sports world, this has been exhausting and dumb. Barry is right - this is about Harper calling Papelbon out for being an idiot a few days earlier; this had nothing to do with the stupid “unwritten rules of baseball” or “vets teaching young’uns how to play the right way.”
Wait...HARPER’S ROLE IN THE INCIDENT? Are you kidding me? Is Simmons managing the Nats now?
It's still so hard for me to believe that that's a thing that actually happened that I blocked it from memory.
Of all the stupid things that have happened in DC sports over the last 20 years, this is approaching the top. Harper’s major problems have stemmed from the fact that he plays too hard at times and externalized his deep frustration whenever he isn’t perfect. As a fan — I’ll take this six days a week and twice on…
Oh please — Harper is everything a fan base could want. He plays hard, he’s awesome, he’s terrific in the community and with kids, he’s good to the fans. This whole “Harper is an asshole” school of thinking needs to be retired. There is simply no merit to the argument, and anyone who suggests otherwise hasn’t been…
This is the best list. Kyle is correct.
Cranky Albert is my favorite Albert.
Oh please. I’m not even saying I agree with Sherman, but if you honestly think that Sherman and Trump might come to the same conclusions for the same reasons (which would be insane, but let’s go with it), but the only difference in Deadspin’s reaction is the speaker of the sentiment, then you’re willfully being obtuse.
