Completely disagree. Clinton’s whole campaign strategy was predicated on going after Trump- I suppose she could have been even nastier, a la the Marco Rubio attack strategy, but that doesn’t seem likely to work. Her mistake was predicating her campaign on attacking Trump as opposed to never, ever trying to change…

Exactly how I felt reading this article. I think anyone who attacks someone else’s claim for what cost Hillary the election is missing the point- it all cost her the election. She lost Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania by something like 110,000 votes. North Carolina and Florida were also incredibly close. When…

I think deadspin suffers from more confirmation bias than any website I’ve ever been to. A guy says he and his team (notice the repeated use of words like “we” and “us”) have to work their butts off, but somehow that’s interpreted as him calling all of his teammates garbage.

You crushed that 250! Way to go!

I’m surprised at how many people are challenging this fairly standard advice. I assume that comes from confusion over the type of training to utilize it in. This is for strength training- your work sets are going to be low rep, with lengthy rest periods. You want to make sure your muscles are fully warmed up, but you…

“If you want the other side to listen to you without having to pander, maybe start by not insulting them.”

I’ve been scrolling to see if anyone would make this comment. It’s pretty ironic that the article closes by saying “Jost appears to have made his position on this matter clear” when the author just spent an entire article misstating what his position was. Heck, Jost had just said that he’s trying to reflect on how…

That’s not what “never” means. I think you meant to say “not” instead.

That’s exactly what it says. It says the determinative factor is the posture of the QB. It then provides examples of when he would be in that posture. The focus is on his stance- whether or not he is playing as a qb as opposed to a runner. The “ie” provides situations when he would be in that posture, and clearly…

The language is clearly included to clarify that the passer is protected REGARDLESS of whether they eventually throw the ball. You’re quibbling over an ie, but somehow you’re not able to comprehend the intent of including it. The rule is designed to protect QBs when they are acting as a quarterback. Passing posture…

Why are his pants so tight and why does he run like that?

Wait, the Warriors have JaVale McGee? No chance they win a ring this year.

Interesting take, but I would have liked to have seen a discussion of what the impact is of the leagues NOT doing anything punitive to the players. Comparing the NFL to a regular employer or its punishments to the criminal law are both false equivalencies. These young men make millions of dollars and are worshiped as…

The most impressive thing was when two guys were able to carry another guy on their shoulders without slipping and falling on their asses.

Yes, I saw that. You continue to miss the point. Man, I love dealing with a-holes on the internet. I’m sure Medieval is super happy to know you’re out here erroneously defending his honor.

“the HRC campaign in a microcosm”

I agree that the republicans actions are shameful here. But can we drop this absurd notion that everything that we disagree with must be unconstitutional? The constitution gives the Congress the authority to create its own rules of procedure. They have chosen to create the process they are currently operating under. …

Your comment makes no sense. I was responding to what was said in the article and to Medieval Knievel’s implication that there is something wrong with the HRC campaign being concened about the election. I don’t see what relevance it would have if accesscode erroneously claimed that this had nothing to do with the…

What hyperbolic garbage. “Cowering in fear”? Really? Because they included one throwaway sentence in an email that referenced a political backlash from four years ago that deadspin thinks they mischaracterized? This is utter nonsense. Were you guys worried that with all the complete crap the Donald has been…

Her job description according to the article here is senior campaign advisor. Of course she is concerned with the impact on the presidential election- it’s literally what she is being paid to be concerned with. The whole purpose of all the emails in the article is to frame things in terms of the campaign.
