Considering the racial history of Boston... yes.

You have a small number of talented individuals who probably get paid more than they deserve but less than they are worth. You have a larger group that just scrapes by and one unlucky moment would put them in big trouble. You have a third group that just can’t make it and drop out of sight altogether. At the very top…

Are you sure the football works? The rules are a labyrinthine mess, and no other sports league annually tweaks its rulebook as extensively as the NFL. The players are too big and too fast. Rosters are churned with such rapidity that fans are almost literally, as Jerry Seinfeld once said, rooting for laundry. Coaches…

bad analogy, boxing takes place 1v1, whereas the 32 NFL teams “need” 53-man rosters filled with highly specialized positions to compete. Plus you “need” a large group of athletes in reserve to fill in for injured players at those positions during the season, a problem boxing does not have because any boxer “can”…

The jingoism turns me off. Excepting the Super Bowl where the anthem is part of the entire spectacle, I really don’t want to be admonished to stand for the national anthem yet again. I’ve got my feet kicked up in the recliner and the national anthem can suck it. Keep that shit for the people at the actual game and…

The system is fundamentally broken because of the legalized bribery that is lobbying. Money buys our politicians and uses that power to brutalize the average person in our society. The present Democratic leadership can’t fight that because they benefit from that system. Until the Democrats call lobbying bribery, money…

Seems appropriate.

I blame the absence of fathers in the white community. Where is the personal responsibility???

Because half their slimy asses are complicit in it.

Are you fucking Sirius, bro?

just let it happen already.

it would, I guess, if the writers were also the ones in charge of procuring advertisers.

Shit like this enrages me so much that it makes me want to throw my keyboard against the wall. Which is fine, because the Logitech 2600 Wireless Keyboard is built to sustain impacts of up to 600 pounds of force.

Obviously Deadspin isn’t the place that needs this said but while I’m happy if both guys get fired and MSU gets the death penalty we shouldn’t kid ourselves that this is anything other than the latest round of whack-a-mole when it comes to this. Whether it’s FSU or Penn State or Notre Dame or wherever we have enough…

He killed us

I want this video for Schilling.
