You mean that time they started a black QB on December 3, 2017 and then the coach and GM got fired on December 4, 2017? 

I didn’t get into it here, but it does not feel entirely irrelevant that the Giants were the last NFL team to start a black QB. And that was only in 2017.

Long time Giants fan. Is it just me, or do Gettleman’s (and the Giants generally) justifications for doing things recently (like trading OBJ, picking Jones over Haskins) come off as racially coded? “Negative culture.” “Mature.” “Fiber.” Hmmmmmmmmmm. Like they get rid of Beckham for complaining that they lose too much…

Jones has all the right attributes: Will, Height, Intelligence, Tenacity, Eye-hand coordination.

At least you got to go home and listen to Santa Monica, after the draft you just go home with...regret?

“Maybe we’re going to be the Green Bay Model, where Rodgers sat for three years. Who knows?”

I have great difficulty understanding how pathetic one must be to go to a football stadium to watch the NFL Draft. This is the equivalent of people in the ‘90s camping out in front of their local Tower Records to be the first to buy the new album by, like, Everclear.

They need to release the name of the shareholder. Covering for him and protecting him sends an even worse message than many might think.

I’m trying to avoid responding to all the grays on this one. You’re not in the grays, but this is a response to all of them as well.

This is profoundly stupid. Two of the best refs taken out because Vegas collapsed.

Not much of a buried lede when Drew has written about it/brought it up on the Deadcast at least 47,004 times. I’m glad Drew is better, but to quote Drew

It wasn’t great phrasing, but it doesn’t strike me as coming from a place of malicious or even casual racism. I think he’s just saying that life-changing amounts of money like that are inconceivably large to regular people. I mean, I’m a white dude from California, and I’m too poor to have any real grasp of the…

Um, I’m really having difficulty wrapping my head around a particular aspect of this story:

He tried, but couldn’t get the opinion quite over 15K words, so it stayed unwritten.

Surprised that Haisley didn’t write an article claiming that Spurs’ late game winner against Brighton shouldn’t count because the goal coming so late rendered the fan experience for the first 88' of the match completely moot, so it shouldn’t count. 

Please settle a debate: Is Back to the Future a sci-fi movie?

He is good. I became a cricket fan after reading his “Complete Guide to Understanding Cricket”.

Ahh yes my favorite category of Deadspin article: the sport I have no idea how to play. 

dove into Moore’s blogs from the National Review’s website in 2001, 2002, and 2003
