UT fired Mack Brown because regents and boosters had their hearts set on some young good ol boy (like Jay Gruden) and were shocked to find that they were saddled with a black man who didn’t let his players get away with sexual assault and expected patience in rebuilding a program that Brown had effectively let fall…

Whenever Kermit is not on screen, all other characters should be asking, “Where’s Kermit?”

this will never have enough stars

yes for every click each Deadspin writer makes one million dollars.

I’m a lifelong Mavs fan and devout follower of all things Carlisle. I have never seen him as excited as he was the night we drafted Smith. Maybe when we won the Finals. It’s been easy for Carlisle to be typically risk-averse because he’s only had to do it with guys like Shane Larkin or Justin Anderson, but he’s very…

Was “Via @Lamby_Antonoff” the greatest photo attribution you’ve ever made?

So it is some of your business then?

The most expensive home in the DFW area would probably still pale in comparison to most of what’s in LA, NYC or any of the other major markets.

He was just trying to solve middle-out compression.

I don’t know when this realization happened for me, but it was some film I saw years ago and it took place in the future and there were no people of color in it. We were walking out of the theater and we were with some people who really liked it and I was kind of confused by it. All I said was, “Oh, there’s no black…

Enough of this shit. Give me the real news, Redford. What happens to Lopez’s cat? Are we to believe he moves the cat across the country just to be cut or traded by the Lakers? Long distance moves are traumatic for cats!

I think you’re missing one key factor here:

I love that virtually any spare parts trade for Kristaps/Melo is successful just because the Knicks cap situation is a fucking disaster.

So instead of almost advancing to the second round of the playoffs, you’d rather have multiple seasons of unwatchable basketball so you can draft 1) a big man that was traded to the Mavs for nothing 2) a big man who has played 22 games and had multiple leg surgeries and 3) another big man who hasn’t played a second…

You’re right - one out of ten people ending up in a coma in a work camp is a good ratio for traveling to another country. We should definitely be sending more people.

Who was going to Golden State a few years ago?

My thoughts and prayers were with Burneko during the ridiculous #RTArmageddon this morning.

It’s not victim-blaming. Otto made a tragic mistake that I’m sure he regretted for as long as he could. I don’t blame him for it - I’m sure many of us feel incredibly lucky to be alive after mistakes we made in college.

I don’t think Deadspin has ever insisted LeBron is the smartest coach or GM (they might as referred to him as one of the greatest or greatest - both are fair to say). They have referred to him as the team’s acting coach/GM but not in a way that says: “And the Cavs are better for it!” Just in a way that asserts it is…

People wanted to be entertained by her and her marriage/wedding.
