The reactions to this piece simply prove that Billy puts Kinja trolls to shame.

Big 12 is dumb. Conferences are dumb. NCAA is dumb. No surprises here anywhere.

Someone with a lifetime of doing piecemeal work finds themselves unable to continue to do so because their skills are largely obsolete? This is the future all of us have to look forward to. Thanks, Obama, Clinton, Reagan, both Bushes, etc!

So, strategy question. If you’re Popovitch and you have an idea how to break up the Warriors’ rhythm enough to beat them, do you do it now to strike the fear of God into them for the rest of the season, or do you take the Ls now and save it for the post-season, when it actually matters? I think there’s no chance at…

HOWEVER, a lot of gynecologists also deliver babies, which I assume is the big draw.

On the other hand, the award for “Best Whiskey Double Entendre” goes to their sherry-finished blended malt, Black Bush.

Sure, except you “haggle” by stringing the case along. The first settlement offer is always lowball, because if you’re dumb or need cash urgently enough to take a small settlement, they’ll take advantage of that. You don’t make a counter offer, because that just signals a negotiating position they can bargain down…

Arse and Barce have way, way more bandwagon fans in the US. Although when I was working at a convenience store there was a regular that wore Juventus gear at least 3 days a week.

it really looks like Bayern will need something approaching a miracle to get back into this.

Oilean or Telamonian?

Who actually gets the ball doesn’t matter for an offside offense. An attacker only needs to be able to pose a threat for an offense to be called (if you have two men open, one onside and one off, and you pass to the one onside, it can still be an offside offense).

Sports organizations being hypocritical about drugs? Nah, can’t be.

Get outta here your facts and reasonableness and suchlike; this is Screamer.

I wonder about people who write things like this. Do they not remember Shaq, Jordan, Wilt? Or did they write the same angry jerk letters when those guys were playing, too?

Not necessarily. It’s like with cashiers whose tills come up short at the end of the shift: in most states at least, it’s illegal for the store to dock their pay to make up the difference. If he made a mistake, the worst that can happen to him is firing. He can only be forced to pay if they can prove it was deliberate…

According to the task force, 47 percent of female college seniors who’ve participated in the clubs (as party guests, staff, etc.) have reported “experiencing nonconsensual sexual contact since entering college.” For comparison, 31 percent of all female college seniors (including those who do not participate in clubs)…

You know the NFL salary cap is too low when the Browns, of all teams, are up against it. Say what you will about the abyssmal teams of the NBA, but at least they are all closer to salary floor than the cap.

No, it’s actually called British English.

No, I’m pretty sure he meant British English.

Not just Screamer. This is the second dumb mistake I’ve seen in the past 10 minutes. Are Deadspin’s copy editors asleep?
