The Roman Empire withdrew from the British Isles in about 400 AD, while the supposed “historical” Arthur would have lived roughly in 5o0-600 AD. More than 100 years after the Romans were gone. He would have been Welsh, not English, and probably was just the leader of one of the warring tribes of the British Isles and…

I always thought it was a little heartbreaking when she realizes Wart wasn't a squirrel.

There were children on that helicopter. Try and remember that while you gloat and pat yourself on the back for a job well-done policing the internet from your mom's basement. 

And despite your corporate overlords telling you to stick to sports, I hope Deadspin never does because

and I can’t emphasize this enough

I come to Deadspin BECAUSE YOU DON’T JUST STICK TO SPORTS

I don’t know who is driving Deadspin into the ditch, but they have a lead fucking foot. Autoplay ads with no ability to opt out? drop down ads that cover half the page? When do we get the viruses?  Get bent.

I’m convinced the new owners of deadspin bought a massive insurance plan and are intentionally sabotaging the site to cash out. Good article Chris, too bad a half dozen ads and autoplay videos crash it every paragraph. 

Well, Thank God they got Osuna!

This was the only thing that made me even remotely ok with the Astros winning.

Exactly who I pictured, and then verified with a google search:

I work in NYC and Friday a large chunk of my office was talking baseball and commiserating about the Yankees. As a Marlins fan I brought up the fact my team has lost 203 games over the past two season, so really you guys don’t have it bad. A co-worker brought up the “this would be the first decade since the Ottoman…

Obviously Altuve will dominate headlines, but how about the defense from the Astros fielders?! This Michael Brantley double play is just absurd:

I’m always shocked when the camera pans the crowd at Yankee Stadium how many guys look in serious need of a throat punch, it’s quite a startling percentage.

Let’s remember some guys

The Yankees won’t be in the World Series, and all is well with the world once more.

We want to extend a nation-wide heartfelt gratitude to Houston and D.C. for saving us from a Fall Classic befouled by the Yankees and Cardinals. The Yankee team is stocked with actually decent men, save for the petulant and perfidious Sanchez. For one example, Judge is not only a great player but seems like an…

Sure, still, fuck the Yankees though.

I know, I get it. Trust me I do. I root for human shit, and Rudy Guiliani loves our team. I legitimately have no come back for that, and I don’t expect you to ever come around.

Yeah, sure, but also fuck the Yankees. 

Great fucking story.

This was fascinating and illuminating. Glad Deadspin is sticking so closely to sports like this.
