They didn't even know if he was in the water - they were looking for the boat and originally they thought he was further north from what I understand.

The boat is new. He loves that boat and is an avid fisherman. He was bringing it in for a tune up because he takes amazing care of it. His face was extremely swollen from the water when he arrived, he didn't even look like himself. The boat has been recovered - the GPS headed to the bahamas - you would not do that…
Actually, she called George annoying for implying that Amal was "off the table" for getting picked on. The gloves WERE ugly, they distracted from her gorgeous dress and the bad ass way she PINNED A JE SUIS CHARLIE BUTTON to a ridiculously perfect clutch. Amal is a brilliant, talented and beautiful woman who made a bad…
Of course! My perspective going into it was this: How do we know what happened? Really, I just wanted to know where the nine miles figure came from when I started. That's far from shore and pretty specific. How did all these reporters know it was that exact figure. That question lead me to more questions, especially…
Wow, I think maybe you all just have a different sense of humor and I'm pretty disappointed that everyone's panties are in a bunch. Nobody is off the table. She's a comedian and, honestly, if that's all you've got to bitch about after filling the shoes of one of the most dynamic woman comedians of our time then I…
Wait, nobody thought to question why the boat was set on autopilot for the Bahamas if he was just going up the coast to take his boat in for service?
I heard he got canned after walking into his meeting with Elway and asking, "Hey John, why the long face?".
Do you just have a hard on for Whitlock??? Damn... His words on the money as tribute. He had difference with Stu Scott. Leave at that... Not the time to go after your favorite whipping boy not named Sean Salisbury...
oh, get the fuck over yourself, Howard. we get it: you don't like jason whitlock. and that's fine, since you don't have to like him. but quit acting like your opinion on him is the definitive take on the guy. i read your longform hitjob on him, and whatever salient points it had to make were overrun by your obvious…
I couldn't stand Scott. I got it, but I could live without it. I can't stand Berman for the same reason: I hate schtick. I could live without the "catchphrases". However, Jason Whitlock is the most offensive, self-hating African-American in journalism. Wait. I forgot Don Lemon, but Whitlock is still the worst.
So Deadspin is suddenly the arbiter of what's fair and unfair to say about Stuart Scott? Is that what you're saying?
I really didn't know either of the dudes. Hardly watched ESPN, but I remember catching Scott a few times. Sad stuff. I hope his family and friends can find some peace.
What was Whitlock supposed to do? You'd prefer he'd speak ill of the dead?
When I read Whitlock's anti-rap diatribes then see him use rap greats for comparison, it feels like he's struggling to balance his identity as a black man and as a journalist. I feel him fighting to carry the weight of racism that this country's history has put on him. The duality of black consciousness constantly…
One hot take written 8 years ago and he can't write something to acknowledge how great Scott was without people like Greg being insufferable about it? I don't know how he actually felt about Scott, maybe they were cool, maybe not, does anyone here know? Probably not, but lets just act like jerks just because and call…
Cherrypicking a 7-year-old piece about a specific event just so you can shit on Whitlock for the sake of shitting on Whitlock. Classayyy.
I was never a big Stuart Scott fan, but i never hated on dude (not that it matters). Dude did his thing, rubbed me the wrong way, but so what. he died at 49. that's the bigger picture. fucking 49. sad af man.
You gotta chalk the older piece up to some jealousy and bitterness. His comparison to Rakim was on point. Stu was one of the few talking heads at ESPN who was bigger than the network and it was because of his swag. Just as Bill Simmons uses pop culture references to reach his fans, Stu used hip hop. It's nice to see…
I think that what he means is that the movie shows a false dynamic between the brothers based on one being much better and much more successful in wrestling than the other. Mark is just saying that there was no dynamic along those lines because around that time both were extremely good AND successful in different…
I can definitely see where he's coming from with some of the criticism but the part where he starts arguing about whether or not his dead brother was really better at wrestling than him was... I mean, talk about competitive. It might be time to let that one go.
