Petchesky was just canned, unbelievable.

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…

And despite your corporate overlords telling you to stick to sports, I hope Deadspin never does because

and I can’t emphasize this enough

I come to Deadspin BECAUSE YOU DON’T JUST STICK TO SPORTS

I can’t believe the Patriots went to all this trouble to beat the Dolphins.

“That’s like re-segregating the country, why would we want that? Besides of course the reasons Tucker Carlson and I lay out every night.”

It was fun laughing about this until it struck me that there are literally tens of millions of people for whom this is some real, no-bullshit, truth bomb cinema, then I just got sad. 

Uh. You should probably edit the paragraph about Mrs. Coulter’s monkey, as it contains a pretty major spoiler if you haven’t read the books. It’s been a long time, but IIRC, we don’t learn that until pretty far through book 1?

You’re such a bad faith piece of shit. Do you honestly think people being criticized is “silencing” them? Or is it more likely that you find any criticism of “anti-PC” behavior (in other words, racist, bigoted bullshit) as intolerable and you believe you should be free from consequences of your backwards ass views?

If we HAVE to stand for a specific song, and HAVE to put our hands on our hearts or risk getting jacked are we really free?

it would absolutely whip ass if this guy was eaten alive by a bear or something

Wow, yeah, it’s almost as if the entire NCAA system places the burden of loyalty completely on the players. While also stripping those players of any earning power. Who knew?

I don’t need her to be a leftist dream, I need her to be better than Mitch. It’s a pretty low bar. Campaigning in a way that talks to voters she needs to win over, conservatives who have probably voted red their whole lives (or voted southern democrat when that was still a thing) is smart. 

Great list - pretty much agree on all points, but I would def add the following:

Though I wouldn’t mind Avatar being deprived of its only remaining instance of cultural significance.

Frankly, it REALLY amuses me how fastidiously they’re avoiding actually showing us the lions talking or singing for more than a second or so. It’s gonna look so bad. Even the brief clips we’ve had look so bad.

I’m going to see this because I know that 7 year old me in 1999 would have killed to see this movie. I just want it to make the Pokemon obsessed inner child that is trapped inside this deadened husk of a man happy.

that plot synopsis is too damn many things for a start

I feel like this is how the DCU should have been. Embrace the weird shit in the DC world. Give us a Justice League movie where the bad guy is Starro or Superman Vs. mr myxlplyx so its just not punching and neck snapping. 

One big reason people going to the opening weekend is to avoid spoilers.
