2 and 3/5ths of a second is a lifetime in horse racing, generally speaking 1/5 of a second = 1 length in flat racing. What made Secretariat so special was the pace he set that day- if American Pharoah or any other horse tried to run the first 6 furlongs in 1:09 they would have stopped like Sham did.

John Oliver is a man of his word, though.

Forget game recaps, this is literally the type of article I come to Deadspin for.

VLC?

Even if you watched the match on ESPN and just came in here to comment, make sure you watch the video (which is not from ESPN). The call of the winning goal is really something special.

No, it really isn’t.

Big agree. I love how much we as readers know that the threat is real, but then have to read the books screaming for people to take the threat seriously. It is a slow burn build that I think works very well and if we saw them every few chapters raiding Wildling villages or whatever, it would get old and weaken their…

I agree with this. There is actually a part in the books [SPOILER] Where the Night’s Watch sends Alliser Thorne to King’s Landing to show The Court that there is a threat. They just throw it off as a big joke, laugh it off, and send him on his way. The idea is that ultimately this “Game of Thrones” does not matter,…

Counterpoint - I actually like the fact that “the Others” are so downplayed in the books. After all, for most in Westeros “The Others” are a fairy tale and the Wall is little more than a penal colony where thieves and murderers are sent to die in the forgotten wastes of the North. Only a few know the real threat to…

These pace of play rules have gone too far.

This is dating myself but... when I was 10 years old my mother moved us from Philly to Westwood Ca. (a whole ‘nother story but it was actually a case of custodial interference.) Our neighbor in in the Melrose place looking complex was Barbara Barry. She played Gavin Mcleod’s wife on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”. She…

I was watching this shit on TV, and at no point over the course of the entire chase did he drive any faster than 10mph. He had “Victory Parade” on the side of his car, and was waving and soluting people as he drove past like he was the damn grand marshall of his parade. How the cops considered this a chase and let it…

Yeah, but the weird thing is pastrami is usually made with beef, not pork.

What an idiot. He’s allowed to use his hands.

Ahahaha making a throw away account because my friends definitely know this story. When I was a senior in high school, I was really into the poet Adrienne Rich. Which kind of tells you all you need to know about the type of person I was at that point in my life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrienne_… for the…

That was pretty great! Tiny pronunciation quibble: the second ‘w’ in “Warwick” is silent; it’s “worrick”, not “war-wick”. English names!

Find new friends!

fine....... you can hang over there with your proletariat clit............. me and my discernment clit will be over here practicing saying “nietzsche” over and over till it sounds natural
