I was in Charlotte this summer with some friends, and while we were drinking, the guys at the table next to us asked how we knew each other. A few of us know each other from a book club. The response? "Uhhh...books? Yeah, I don't really like books. I'm more into Instagram." And that's pretty much what I expected from…

Good for him, and godspeed, Lauren.

Between Kevin Johnson and Dan Snyder and now this, it's clear that you all have assigned McKenna the big dick beat.

Question for the Deadspin target demographic (white male attorneys): once you start pleading the fifth during a trial or deposition, are you allowed to pick and choose which questions to plead, or do you have to stick with the fifth entirely or abandon it entirely?

I’ve only read the Saunders piece (which I thought was on balance pretty good), but I wonder if we’re being a wee bit harsh. There are lots of people like me — well-educated white guy — out here who are more than a little perplexed by the Trump movement. It’s not that we’re necessarily surprised, it’s that we’re…

DC lifted its Blue Laws about three years ago, allowing us all to buy liquor in the District on Sundays. I almost cried with joy.

This shouldn't even be close. This is Snyder's to lose — in fact, they should just retire the award and rename it "The Danny."

This is the Mariners’ curse: lousy relief. The memories of Norm Charlton and Heathclif Slocumb from the late 90s still cause me to wake up with night terrors.

This must have been a tough slate to pick. So many deserving candidates left out in the cold — Rovell, Whitlock, Skip, etc. But can I write in Leitch?

Good for KWTX, and great work by Diana in covering this story. I have one quibble: you note Ken Starr's "fall from grace." This statement assumes Ken Starr ever inhabited any state of grace. This would be an erroneous assumption.

Wilbon is a bloviating idiot. Bomani Jones remains the Man. Sun rises in the East....

This was a weird column by Boz. He’s usually pretty sane and reasonable, but he’s clearly given his heart to the Nats and it’s starting to show in his columns. Rizzo is a good GM, but he's got the Werth and Zim contracts on his head, AND he traded for Papelbon, lest we forget.

The only thing that's surprising is that no one pulled a gun.

Have you seen Big Daddy? Jon Stewart is a lot of things. A great actor, he is not.

The really funny thing to me is that conservative Christians — who absolutely decry all things "politically correct" — use exactly the same defense in situations like this. "God told me to do it, so it must be okay" is exactly analogous to the strawman, PC, "It makes me uncomfortable, so it should stop" argument…

He’s not obligated, but he took the call and agreed to show up. If he’s such a dainty little flower that he can’t handle someone who might — heaven forbid — disagree with him, then he should have screened for that on the call. He's an asshole, and frankly — a lousy businessman, a lousy Christian, and a lousy person.

I'm trying to understand how this is anything but cool. God forbid anyone have any fun.

Main takeaway I got from this is that dolphins are fucking terrifying and will soon enslave us as we sleep with ALL of our brains.

What this team is doing to John Wall in his prime is infuriating. When he gets the chance, Wall is one of the 3-4 most exciting players in the game and has otherworldly basketball sense — if his damn coach would just figure that out! Finally, FINALLY, the Wizards had jettisoned the JailBlazers East crap, and we end up…

Sure. Maybe. But they won two more titles after that. We had plenty of time to appreciate them. But the Bulls were so relentlessly methodical in their approach. That Sonics team was just pure fun. I'm not arguing with you — I'm just a Seattle native who so much enjoyed that '93-'96 run of the Sonics, and I like to…
