+1 promised Venmo payment that never arrives

Most Michigan State grads wait until after they leave East Lansing to get involved in the pizza industry.

Per the article:

TBH I’ve been reading Deadspin for almost 5 years now and I don’t get the hate for Bill Simmons. I’m a huge Kinja fan, so I actually wrote off Bill and his projects (Grantland and the Ringer) strictly due to the reasoning that “If deadspin hates him, they must have a good reason”. Now I’ve started to listen to the…

Very true, but it doesn’t fit the Deadspin party line, and that is that Bill Simmons is horrible and worse than Hitler because he wears plaid shirts and doesn’t work for Deadspin.

I’ve been following Simmons since his page 2 days when he had something closer to universal approval, but now people love to hate him even as they’re complimenting his current work but trying to diminish his involvement in it. Look at all the comments saying, “Simmons is only good at hiring good people and getting con…

In Bill Simmons favor-

I believe that’s the very definition of white people. 

The Andre the Giant documentary was fantastic. The 30 for 30s he produced have, for the most part, been great. I do not like complimenting Bill Simmons or seeing him happy, but the only good things he’s created in this world are sports documentaries; and I’m fully aware that he has children.

But let’s not forget the man who gave his life in opposition of that.

As with Trump, I am truly amazed by the level of incompetence at the highest levels of the NFL. It’s one thing to disagree with an organization or even to think that its executives are outright evil; it’s staggering to think that the leaders of the most profitable sports league in the world aren’t even smart.

Just glad he’s out of the AL. 

I would guess that once the Lakers knew they were getting Lebron, Ingram was not going to be part of the deal, and the Spurs never saw Kuzma as a centerpiece and weren’t interested in Ball, and after that, there’s not a ton to talk about.

Masai Ujiri has built up a lot of credibility

Why are they so quick to defend owners over players? Doesn’t seem that complicated to me, it’s really a black-and-white situation.

Cal Ripken did not exactly have an electric personality, and yet he drove sports headlines in 1995. Same with, say, Mark McGwire, in 1998.

“So what if your guy has absolutely been better in reality, mine is projected to be better by a baseball website’s algorithm in a hypothetical future!”

I mentioned this in an article on the topic a few days ago, but I’ll drop it in here too just as an interesting detail. This break-in, which was in Milton, closely (or at least superficially) resembles another “targeted” break-in that occurred a couple weeks ago in neighboring Alpharetta. These are two pretty affluent…

This is what’s so dumb about this case. He seems to have been playin by the rules up until now, so I don’t believe for a second he would hire some low rent thug to take the jewelry back. He has nothing besides some jewelry to gain from doing so, and a shit ton to lose. And his thug seems like a fuckin amateur...
