American culture admires bullies more than it dares let on, primarily because Americans are much closer to the edge than they dare admit.

“Your brother Billy, whatever happened there...”

Truth. They’re the guys who want to say they are in “combat arms” but don’t want to hike 20 miles with a 120-150 lb. pack like 0302s, who are all around more manly, attractive, charming, and cool than 0802s.

He knew that killing those civilians would be a great way to own the libs.

2. If he was part of an arty unit that conducted fire support, and they basically just fired into the city without conducting proper procedures (PID, mil necessity, proportionality....all that stuff), then he has gotten a shitload of people into a spot of trouble (from the dudes calling in the fires to the CO in his…

Philadelphia is the best goddamn city on the planet.

Great piece. I have always loved De Rossi as a player, and his departure from Roma truly marks the end of an era. Next season will be the first since 1991 where neither Totti nor De Rossi will be on the field for the giallorossi. He was always scrappy and played his heart out, whether for Roma or for the Italian…

People need to stop being slaves to their own nostalgia.

Mike Francesa, national treasure. May he live forever and continue feeding us his wisdom. In these dark times, he will always show me sun.

I think we can just all agree that they are definitely Caucasian. 

Okay, let’s be fair to middle-aged BMW owners/lessees: not all of them have small dicks, some have just slightly below average dicks. 

I find this fascinating. Not that I think you’re wrong or anything. I’m just trying to recall if I can think of any team in any sport this good with a significant portion of the fan base hoping their best player doesn’t come back. Especially in the Finals.

I felt bad for Jets fans when they hired him. Their roster, with a good coach, has a lot of potential. They have at least one top tier player at every level of the defense, very solid weapons on offense (especially after the Bell signing, obviously), and a promising young QB. A good coach could definitely go to the…

Peyton Manning has no interest in some sort of executive role with the Jets.

Sort of, if you read it in a vacuum. But go and compare the way that Haisley writes about Manchester City’s ownership here with any other Deadspin piece about any shithead owner in an American sport. Based strictly on Deadspin stories, the average reader could be forgiven for thinking that, say, Stan Kroenke is a far…

That has not true about the NBA since Michael Jordan became a superstar. It has only grown in popularity and influence since then.

Eli stinks but he’s going to be a Hall Of Famer. Will he be the worst player in the Hall Of Fame?

That’s too bad. I know of a certain “professional” baseball team in Queens that could use new ownership and a bottomless bank account filled with Emirati blood mon—I mean, oil money.

But in Meghanland, it’s never her fault and she’s always being picked on.

You bring up an interesting scenario though. Like, how would UEFA react if Arsenal just refused to play the game or even travel there? Would they punish Arsenal? Would they back down and change the location? Would they try to compromise by hiring more security or some other similar thing? It would actually be a really…
