I have no idea if this is still the case as I haven’t been to Camden Yards in nearly a decade, but your picture of the Orioles vendor up top reminded me of my favorite thing from that trip to Camden: the elusive 4 beer limit. Being able to send one person to bring back a tray of four beers means fewer people have to…

I disagree, and the reason I disagree is why most people on the choice side of things despise (and many now refuse to use) the Rovian labeling of “choice vs. life.” Many women who believe in choice choose to keep unwanted and unintended pregnancies. Choice implies, and requires, the choice to continue a pregnancy as…

If snarky comments got you perma-grayed there would be no posts on the front page. Also I feel bad that your response got grayed likely due to my own current grayness.

Even as I write this in response to your gray-or-not-gray journey, I too have no idea which side of the fence I’m on today. Edit: dammit gray.

I mean, that’s the entire problem the cap is designed to prevent. In a league with true, uncapped free agency and super-duperteams, in a sport with as few players as basketball (where every individual player makes the biggest difference), you’d see an arms race that would only end when one owner went full on New York…

The problem is that, if McGregor loses, it opens up a whole additional line of controversy over the incredibly short period of time he had to prepare for a wildly different opponent. If he wins (and eventually fights Mendes) it works out fine, but if he doesn’t the whole shebang blows up with a big asterisk. Decisive…

You have either known the best cat or smelled the worst gin.

My cat is definitely convinced she’s chaotic good. She always gets confused when I don’t revel in her joyful destruction of the world.

I am aware of all of these things, and personally of the opinion that Jack Daniels shouldn’t be called bourbon because I find it nowhere near as delicious as Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey, something I consider the finest spirit known to man.

Considering that’s status quo and all statutory analysis starts from a presumption of constitutionality (the burden is always on the party arguing that RFRA is unconstitutional) that’s not much of a hurdle. There is zero way the state was going to take the stance that RFRA is unconstitutional, and if TST doesn’t raise…

It likely, although I have no inside sources or knowledge, has something to do with the fact that the ACLU is deeply divided on this issue as an internal policy matter. The ACLU has a pretty significant religious freedom and first amendment department that fights for protection of religious expression and religious…

Despite the fact that I can now easily afford to buy many more games than when I was younger, I now buy extremely few. Not because I’m pirating them—but because I simply don’t play the variety of games I used to as quality has diverged all over the map without any corresponding adjustment for cost (at least, and…

Would you perhaps like an international treaty, signed by the President and ratified by Congress, that defines Tennessee Whiskey as a type of bourbon? Because there is one, see http://www.sice.oas.org/Trade/NAFTA/ch…, and unless you’re finding your bourbon definition in the United States Constitution, that treaty is…

Drunkspin remains one of my two or three favorite Deadspin features, now that Chris Kluwe is apparently done sharing delicious punter vitriol.

If you’re over 27 (and younger than... I dunno, whatever age, because I’m not old enough to know when) and owned a TV as a kid I don’t know how you could possibly get this wrong. Those “There’s no wrong way to eat a Reese’s” commercials were all over the air and had a voiceover.

Besides being pure and unadulterated clickbait, what possible reason is there for the use of the Apple logo in the header image of this post?!

“[T]hey have the NYPD to thank for the fact that their other competent perimeter defender isn’t on the playoff roster.”

So you’re saying spray on, sprayer, spray on? Good, sunscreen lotion is the worst.

That’s a pretty odd statement when consider on the population scale. First, there’s a lot of theory and some testing to suggest that eliminating the human factor (like, for example, the penchant to inch up 3 inches if someone else does, and the similar penchant to tap your brakes the moment you see brake lights…

But they don’t contradict each other. The former is about the GM, who should not be speaking for the League in its entirety—he should be speaking for the team, and his job is primarily competitive. The latter is about the League, primarily about Goodell, who is supposed to be entirely neutral with respect to the…
