Not to mention that a mirror can throw you off during the lift. If you’re looking in the mirror, you’re probably not looking where you should be to put yourself in an ideal position for the lift (i.e. on a squat, you should have a fixed point of view; on a DL, your spine should be neutral - it won’t be if your head is…

Did we used to date in law school?

Well, yea, of course. The original comment that I was responding to said “If Deadspin releases an article dissing the Democratic ticket ....” So I suggested a series dissing ALL the candidates, just like the Why Your Team Sucks series disses all the teams.

The problematic part is that there are people for them to appeal to with this inane, illogical, and hateful bullshit.

Absolutely right.

A “Why Your Candidate Sucks” series? I’d be down for that.

While I recognize there’s a certain level of snark/satire here, there’s a somewhat reasonable solution: do away with the first past the post voting system and switch to a party list system. That will basically create viable third (and fourth, etc.) parties. That way, the kook who wants to be represented by someone…

Yea, I considered that about Jackson. The only thing I would say is that indoor football relies on the running game a lot less and the NFL Europe season is shorter. So, in addition to it being slightly less abusive than the NFL, he was probably getting way fewer carries per season. Even in his first two years with the…

Yes and no. I mean, in the short term, yes. In the long term, the Vikes consider Bridgewater their QB of the future who they hope will be around for another 10-15 years. Peterson is over 30 with most, if not all, of his best years behind him. A gamble, for sure, but not a totally inexcusable one.

You may be right. However, Barry was a much different runner than AP. He wasn’t a downhill, hit the hole hard type of runner. He would prefer to tiptoe behind the line and pick his spots.

Counterpoint based on a sample size of one: Fred Jackson. Had his first 1,000 yard season at age 28 and averaged 5.5 yards per carry at 30. Then again, he only picked up 1,062 yards in his best year, so maybe not ...

After the Jennings TD, I texted a friend “and now we wait for the other shoe to drop ....” After they hit the FG to go up 26-20, I turned to my wife and said “and here comes the touchdown drive.” Called my dad after the game and found out he had basically had said the same exact thing. The Giants are at least…

This is so perfect I want to un-star and re-star it all afternoon.

Not a single sentence in the Big Ten preview, but this gets coverage. This is Rutgers football in a nutshell.

Both of these comments are 100% accurate. Rutgers fans like to tell everyone else we’re NY’s college football team, but we don’t believe it ourselves.

Oh, Rutgers fans know this very well and are totally fine with it. We wanted into the Big Ten in the worst way and are very glad the powers that be bought the bullshit we were slinging about RU bringing in the NY market (when, in truth, the NY market as a whole could give a shit about college football).

Olivia Hussey! My English teacher did the same.

English isn’t his first language?

Hi, and welcome to Deadspin. They do this every year for all 32 teams.

I think it’s one of those things that makes sense internally, i.e., applying the already fucked up logic of the speaker. If you accept that everything is divine providence, then, sure it makes sense that the injury was coming regardless.
