I would be stoked if I was a St. Louis based Rams fan. They have the chance now to have a fandom mulligan. They can pick ANY other team in the NFL to latch onto, and no one can really get mad about it.

I’m aware... but the All Blacks are the All Blacks and aren’t the All Blacks Sevens. If I order a Coca Cola and get a Coca Cola Zero, I’m sending it back.

What I said: “The All Blacks compete in the Rugby World Cup, not the Olympics.”

Not to sound pedantic, and I don’t think this is pedantry, but this wasn’t the “All Blacks” losing to Fiji. This was the 7's team. The All Blacks compete in the Rugby World Cup, not the Olympics.

This is a great and sane take.

Don’t mention Four Roses Single Batch while I’m at my desk, please. The afternoon is totally shot now.

Was that a bad joke or are you really just taking the first 8 words of my comment to heart?

That two separate “Gail”s emailed you is strangely not surprising.

I really liked picturing a 13 year old threatening to get someone fired, but I’m pretty sure she has been riding horses for going on 14 years, and isn’t actually a 13 year old with powerful ties in the news media.

Instinctually, Ravens fans prepare for his hip to dislocate.

I grew up in California and no lie, the first time I ever saw lacrosse was when I saw it in American Pie. I haven’t really given it much thought since then, though I do occasionally see kids geared up in lacrosse gear in these parts now. When I read your comment, I thought that lacrosse as an olympic sport sounded…

...do you think there is a difference?

But, they do. They totally do.

10/10. Would watch.

I would absolutely watch that before I ever sit down to watch real golf. So maybe I’m wrong about everything. For example, I would also be much more interested in mini-horse racing or mini-horse polo.

I agree with everything above about horses, ping-pong is a small, cute version of another sport (we don’t consider mini-golf a sport, and yet, here is Olympic ping pong), so I guess that leaves surfing.

If Laettner hadn’t been picked for the dream team as the token “amateur” who would have been on the roster instead? Obviously Isiah Thomas was skipped (supposedly because Michael Jordan demanded that he not be on the team) but in terms of Laettner’s position, who would have been the pro that went in his place? As a…

“We’re talking about a city that has all the grace and charm of a Margaritaville chain restaurant on its best day. They took literal paradise and turned it into a paved-over Navy base, filled with aggressive douchebros in pooka shell necklaces grabbing asses outside a bunch of overpriced Gaslamp Quarter fusion…

Same here. I was legitimately puzzled and started scrolling up and down trying to find ads until I remembered. I’ve actually never seen deadspin with ads. But for real, Drunkspin was my favorite.

WHOAA guy, should’ve included a *****SPOILER ALERT**** before the email.
