College football referee and baseball umpire here. So much of the commentary about this event has ascribed motivation to this official’s action, most of which is probably unwarranted. Ramos’s sole motivation was to enforce the rules, and enforce them as consistently as he could. He almost certainly didn’t want to…

I’d just like to point out that the morning after the women’s final, I was threatened here with a commenting ban because I disagreed with the author and deigned to say that Serena was wrong and Ramos was doing his job. That seemed a little short-sighted/heavy-handed, given that the author believed a verbal abuse…

Come the fuck on.

yet the owners scoffed at the idea of a celery cap.

Pepe Le Pew is a rapist.

Celebrity deaths never really phase me at all, but Bourdain is something else. His voice was one that said what I needed to hear. I’ll miss his interesting, entertaining and important work.

Nah, I’m with you. Barry also looks like a coward for avoiding bringing up the pulling of the race card here also.

Ok, I’m gonna say it. Shani Davis kinda looks like a sore loser here.

I agree, if parents don’t want their kids around drunks, don’t take them to bars. But that’s not what you were arguing. Your complaint was that YOU don’t want to be around kids at bars. In that scenario, try this:

You heard the man, people: do not, under any circumstances, like, share, retweet or discuss any Deadspin articles, no matter how much you may have enjoyed them, lest they gain goodwill without proper payment. And need I remind you that they are owned by a multibillion-dollar company?! I can’t quite articulate why that…

Johan Franzen scrambled his brain at the expense of one of the best and coolest playoff goal scoring runs in recent memory and capped it off with a Cup win, the least this team can do for him is let him collect a pay check for his efforts while he sits on LTIR and doesn’t even count against the damn cap. I’m sure his…

The world was built by intense weirdos. We stand on the shoulders of weird giants.

Ok, but what about a BJ, Upton?

Less visits to the mound.

Per Gawker policy, the only way to be financially successful is to be an awful human being who will be up against the wall come the revolution. Nobody ever comes by money through honesty, talent, or hard work.

Hamilton envies people who can afford $2m worth of jewelry, and he ascribes independent moral significance to his emotions.

Ilitch, in death I will forgive you crimes against pizza.

Mike Illitch is one of the most important people in the history of Detroit. Not just as the owner of sports franchises and cardboard pizza. The guy has given a lot to the city. Sure, he got a lot out of it, too. But thank God for Illitch over the past 30 years. He is the one who first invested down in the wasteland of…

When so many owners are focused on the bottom line and treating the team like a business, Mike was one of the few committed to winning and doing whatever it took to win championships. It’s a shame they couldn’t get him one more before he went. RIP Mike, the city of Detroit greatly appreciates everything you’ve done…
