Remy would like a word.

The Sopranos finale (particularly the last five minutes) is the greatest finale in television history. Come at me.

Your comment is reasonable and factually based, and also points out a fairly obvious error in the rant that Drew wrote (which is ironic, given that the reason Drew included that tidbit was to attack BS for misleading his audience). All of which is just to say that there is a reason your comment only has 2 likes…

It’s not just you. The irrational vitriol about this take is bizarre. It’s like the lady that leaked that coke video of Chris Foerster claiming she did it to expose white privilege. It’s just an absurd justification.

Not really, which is why it’s so bizarre to see people attacking him in nonsensical fashion. It’s like making up things to hate Trump about- the guy gives you an overwhelming number of legitimate things to criticize, just hit him for those things instead of coming up with fallacious rationales for insulting him.

Whoa whoa whoa, duuuudde. If ancient people’s found mammoths then why’d they call them giants instead of mammoths? And you say dinosaurs are dragons, but the word dragon has been around forever man, so if they’d seen dinosaurs back then they wouldn’t have had to invent that word 150 years ago.

That’s fine. There’s no reason why they have to agree that the things he claims are important are. What’s your point?

I don’t understand what’s going on here. You’re consuming calories (440 according to the article). That’s nearly 50% MORE than an egg mcmuffin at McDonalds. OF COURSE your hunger will die down if you consume lots of calories. I don’t see how that’s fasting though, anymore than if you stopped by mcondalds and ate a…

Sure, but he also provides argumentation for why certain aspects are non-essential. He argues that the Brady pissed off anecdote is an annual occurrence. He points out that some of the things that the author spent a lot of time on were things that have been widely reported elsewhere, some of it going back years. He’s…

Sure, but it’s oddly inconsistent with the very point that Ley JUST presented. He says Simmons is denying the reporting solely because he doesn’t believe it could be true, then provides a quote that actually provides direct evidence to back up Simmons claim that Kraft didn’t do those things. It’s an odd about face…

No he’s not. I just read it. He’s complaining that the article didn’t fully flesh out the actual arguments it presented. I didn’t see anything in there making a Trumpian style “anonymous sources are evil!” argument.

Eh, he’s not really saying that at all. He’s saying that it’s hard to tell if the essential aspects are accurate because the article glosses over them too quickly, without laying a proper foundation. And the reason why it had to do that was because it was making space to talk about less essential aspects. The article…

I also don’t understand the “fuck you” over Simmons reporting that he knew someone with firsthand knowledge of Bob Kraft, and that Kraft disagreed with the story. I mean, the name-droppy way that he says it is a little obnoxious, but if he had written “a source close to the owner stated that Kraft disavowed crucial…

Exactly. The likelihood that the people who make secretagentman’s claims are completely unaware that someone close to them (either colleagues, friends, family, etc.) is struggling with some crippling personal problem is about 100%, but they’re too oblivious to realize it. They then turn around and attack other people…

I never understand people with this reaction. No matter how many times this sort of thing happens people will still jump in to judge the actions of people in a situation that they have no actual knowledge of. I struggled with alcohol abuse for a decade. Virtually nobody had any idea how bad it was. It’s remarkably…

For the record, I am (unfortunately) a Skins fan. This is just an absurd hindsight bias argument. Yes, it didn’t work. No, that doesn’t mean it was pure idiocy at the time. And right, Butler did just what any other player would have done. Totally routine play. Sure thing.

“If you have a 3-2 count on a hitter and you throw a 102 mph fastball, the next pitch is going to be a fastball.”

For all of Deadspin’s bitching and moaning, they sure do get a shit-ton of traction out of ESPN milking Lavar for quotes. It reminds me of the schism between their “the NFL needs to care more about players brains!” and “look at this awesome hit!” articles.

Sooooo...ESPN isn’t a paragon of journalistic virtue? Most of what they bitch and moan about is meaningless nonsense? Good to know!
