Timothy you should really clarify what sport Rener he competed in. Rener has only competed in a few sport Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu matches. Rener has never fought a single fight in Mixed Martial Arts (that is a sport). He has also never fought in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (that is a league/promotion). The UFC also…

It’s still something worth mentioning. It doesn’t detract or change the story at all, but it something Deadspin should strive for under journalistic accuracy.

Thanks for the fact-checking, duder. You really hit on the most salient part of the story.

“That first-ever run allowed was a home run to opposing pitcher Nate Karns. It was the first hit, let alone home run, of Karns’s career”

Fans don’t understand the game.

This passage is complete bullshit.

I live in Michigan where until a few years ago, alcohol couldn’t be served before noon on Sunday. If you had a ticket to a sporting event that started at 1, you had one option: BYO and tailgate. It also used to be illegal to serve alcohol after 9 pm Christmas Eve or anytime on Christmas Day. Why? I have no idea.

I generally stick with after work on weekdays and noon on weekends. I have three exceptions:

Drinking plus works makes my already low level of work effort plummet even more drastically. You are a crazy person.

Obviously a bad father, but 2 questions.

In recent years, state laws have gotten a lot more reasonable with respect to how early on Sunday you can buy alcohol. I’m absolutely convinced that the laws got changed because angry football fans complained to state legislators.

Yellow jacket, green jacket, who gives a shit?

Because, like anything that starts out cute and harmless, companies try to extract every single cent out of the phenomenon, tying things together with every conceivable angle and marketing ploy, thus taking something innocent and fun, and making us hate it.

I think the point is that it was probably a bad idea for Deadspin to run an article questioning the future of Grantland the day after Deadspin’s parent company did something that was arguably worse than something the entire network BLASTED Grantland for.

I’m not sure what’s worse — you’re either a Deadspin employee in disguise, or just a fool.

You do realize it’s part of Gawker Media and Deadspin writers work for Gawker Media, and Deadspin cross posts posts on Gawker to their front page and vice versa, right?

Great point, didn't think about it like that. I guess I was confused since Deadspin REPOSTED the article to their blog as well. But tell me more about apples and oranges please.

Eh, it’s more apples and richer apples.
