People smarter than me disagree with my opinion, and that makes them dumb.

-Every ESPN debate show, and also Deadspin when it comes to Russell Westbrook.

Don’t forget Butt-Fumble, too!

not sure if this is a sarcastic deadspin comment or serious, but Chris Sale pitched for the Sox for seven fucking years, and started for five of them. If you just got to know him you weren’t paying attention basically at all.

yes, it is Colangelo’s fault that the 7 footer who already had an injury history before he even stepped foot on an NBA practice floor ended up having bum knees.

This was the whole flaw in ‘The Process’ to begin with. They weren’t doing anything that other clubs didn’t have to do out of necessity, they were just doing it intentionally. But it wasn’t as if Hinkie discovered some secret formula that was going to vault them to success. The Hornets (then Bobcats) drafted in the…

that’s right, and the first pool that the US was in had their games in Miami. What’s your point, other than you are a douchebag from new york city?

So English players can’t get first team minutes anywhere besides England? What the fuck are you talking about?

‘there’s lots of brown guys and Germans in the Premier League now, THAT’S why the national team can’t compete!’ 

Maybe Englishmen just aren’t as fucking good at soccer as they’ve always thought themselves to…

holy shit, someone tell Marchman that his club is irrelevant right now and he needs to find something else to write about for the next 2-3 years. Otherwise, we’re all in for a long few years of, ‘who the fuck is he talking about and why does any of this matter?’ This is the 4th White Sox take in 2 days.

Just as a heads up, Xander Bogaerts is the only Aruban major leaguer on the Dutch team. There are more Dutch players originally from Curacao (Jansen, Profar, Simmons, Schoop) in the major leagues on this squad, and you could even include Wladimir Balentien of Nippon fame in this group.  Grigorius was born in…

Honest question: Would the revenue lost from NWSL actually cause the USSF to budge at all?

I am admittedly ignorant of the financials here, but it seems like if the gripe is, ‘we aren’t making enough money!’, backing out of the one competition that is barely scraping by from a monetary standpoint is pointless.

Wouldn’t…

holy shit, yes, it is objectively bad that the President of the Goddamn United States doesn’t know what the fuck he is doing when it comes to Palestinian/Israeli relations, and for him to just dismiss decades of foreign policy with a blase ‘hey, I’m cool with whatever you guys want to do’ is a big kick in the fucking…

oh shit, I’m sure Bojan Bog-whothefuckisthisguy will really push your Wiz over the top, Burneko.

no provel cheese on this Piazza.

I think the point was that maybe don’t use your platform read by a lot of Americans every day to bloviate about how ‘both parties are really the same, man, and my vote doesn’t actually matter anyway so fuck it!’ type of ideologies, especially if afterwards you are going to say shit like, ‘man can you believe how…

The best part is they are often the same people who get upset when you mention the central issue of the war was the question of slavery and not ‘States Rights’.

This article translates roughly to, ‘Why do people on ESPN, which is owned by ABC, keep promoting a show on ABC?’

Yeah, he still hasn’t figured out that saying lynching journalists was ‘so much awesome’ is why he is being blackballed. But I guess it’s much easier for Republicans to blame that bastion of progressiveness and forward thinking, baseball writers, than it is for them to accept the consequences of their own actions.

what if it were made of barbecue spare ribs?

yes, sports fans have only been irrational for the past few years now. Before then, back when we were electing such fine and honorable leaders like Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon, every sports fan had reasoned, sensible takes and they were NEVER prone to overreaction.

I’d like to think that if one of the all-time great footballers was my countryman and wanted to thank me for helping him achieve one of the only goals he still had in his profession, I would shut the fuck up and appreciate that he recognizes he needed me to get it done.
