I’ll speak for all of us who aren’t familiar. Thanks so much for this stupid analogy. What else would it be like? I like to think of it as being on par with being shot in the dick and making a full recovery in 48 hours. Or being shot in the foot and not even noticing.

This is such a shallow, lazy, hot take. In 1 sentence you say keeping Longoria allows the team not to worry as much about the bottom line. In the next sentence Keeping Longoria is the best way to make the most money.

I’m thrilled about body cams. 999 times out of 1000 the inappropriate behavior will be from the arrested rather than the arresting officers.

Whoa....don’t start trying to represent statistics in these discussions. Next you’ll suggest that it might be statistically intelligent to perform different levels of security screening at airports based on select demographics or merit-based college admissions. Save yourself before it’s too late.

Sounds like a bunch of liberal, hippie nonsense. What other damaging behavior should we take from future soldiers? Alcohol? Automobiles? Crossfit? Skiing?

Proposal: a daily Deadspin feature comparing Giancarlo Stanton’s stats as a Dodger versus the starting rightfielder in the Field of Dreams league since 2014 (Oscar Taveras). Dude’s been raking against Shoeless Joe Jackson’s buddies....

It’s “if ya ain’t first, yer last”

Given that the “pre check line is always worth it”, in your words, why do you think you can tell people that they don’t travel enough to need it?

OK, now apply this logic to all of the other things people like to buy that aren’t scaled up to be efficient. You can make a career writing these articles, and you will be quite unpopular.

So Deadspin wants to rail against the evil, horrific nature of UFC when it has the leverage to make fights happen, and when someone has enough success to neutralize that leverage we’re supposed to feel sad that we can’t get the optimal matchups. It must be tough whining about all the injustice in the world.

I fixed this system 5 years ago -

Hamilton, your understanding of politics and economic systems is just about on par with my dog. He’s a smart dog, but still a dog. Go educate yourself in the history of these subjects and come back in 5-10 years with something closer to a useful hot take.

Old foggie thought - some old-school basic journalism would’ve been nice here. What day is the eclipse? (I don’t need an answer; I’ll google it. But it’s an amazingly basic piece of information to leave out of the piece.)

Worst idea I’ve heard in quite awhile. And that’s saying something in our current environment.

I totally agree that this isn’t 1st amendment related and Martin is a piece of crap (and his account should be suspended).

You absolutely can compare the tax cuts. You just did it. JFK’s looks a lot like the evil Republican cuts. Weird.

Again, you can easily look at this from a totally defensible, different angle. I don’t think most Republicans want a world where social safety nets don’t exist. But they would like them to be sustainably affordable for the country. If you’d like safety nets without any fiscal sense, feel free to move to…

You can easily make the same argument about voters on both sides. Who slashed the social safety net to pieces lately? Bill Clinton. Who repealed Glass-Steagal? Again, Bill Clinton. I’m not here to slam Bill Clinton. (It’s already been done enough, I’m sure.) But I am trying to say that this demonizing of the…

These hot takes are so shallow and uninformed. What change(s) led to the trends in the graph? You can’t just say “REAGAN DID THAT!” and then also say “Well, Obama can’t be expected to single-handedly fix everything at once!” Either a president can make an impact or he can’t.

Also remember that weather forecasts used to be completely worthless.....then, alas!, progress happened. Progress continues to happen. Think bigger.
