No one makes money with televised sports. HOWEVER, I can't believe that sponsors spend nearly as much for NBA spots as they do for NFL spots...so this kind of money being spent on the NBA makes no sense to me whatsoever, unless the advertising dollars are gonna go right up there with it

I remember when Deadspin was a fun sports website that was always good for a laugh or two. When did it become a soap box?

every thing really is the other way around in Australia...

in all fairness, even when they suck, the new york and dc markets are pretty strong in terms of viewership...can't explain the atlanta-tampa bay decision though

I get that he's complaining about stuff that you agree with, but you guys give waaaay too much credence to Keith Olbermann...please, just stop it. It's still Keith fucking Olbermann. You wouldn't drool all over Colin Cowherd, right? Right?? Oh, god...you very well might...

It's the freaking NFL. Did anyone honestly think it would take a major hit? Don't hate the game, hate the player(s)

who are you? you honestly think someone would spend four days thinking of something to type? are you still in grade school? go outside dude, get over it, seriously...or get a hobby, something...it's depressing to see...

wow man...someone needs a hug...it's not your fault...

when did winston become the FSU athletic director???

College students screaming obscenities in public?? PREPOSTEROUS! What kind of a world are we living in where college students, the shining examples by which our country's moral and ethical standards are set, say and do stupid things in dining halls? For shame...

Do more than blog for a living before you come at me with that shit, young man...

that wasn't my point...only that if they're gonna give spend all their time criticizing groups for not being sensitive enough about those kinds of issues, it's pretty hypocritical to suddenly act shocked when readers notice they themselves are being pretty insensitive to serious issues (like murder)...I guess it's…

So you agree then. Here anything remotely to do with hot-button issues needs to be treated with the gravity they deserve. But since murder isn't currently a hot topic in the NFL, it's okay to joke around about it. Basically you're admitting that you don't actually care about the issues of domestic abuse or child…

I saw that article when you posted it...admitting you're doing something stupid, and still doing it, doesn't make it okay...you guys spend so much time reacting to what others do and calling them out for it...why not take some responsibility once in a while yourselves, even regarding the little things?

So, we're condemning people for taking domestic violence so lightly, but the same rule doesn't apply to homicide? Nice title, hypocrites.

People have to stop being so stupid about early backup quarterback success. Damn near every time a backup QB has to come into a game, he does decently well, and everyone thinks he's way better than he is. That's not the case. They're playing a team that spent all week preparing from film of THE OTHER GUY, so of…

I appreciate what you're trying to do here, but comparing the NFL to the NBA is like comparing Verizon to Metro PCS. Not even in the same stratosphere...

Meanwhile, Deadspin has been using the word "Redskins" a shitload in talking about how wrong it is for people to say it and use it...why don't you guys take your own advice on this one?

Yes, because college football fans around the country have always been known for being well-behaved, respectful, and 100% P.C. How dare Rutgers college students tarnish this sterling reputation.

Yes, because when you find something on google, it's 100% fact. The actual number is 42%...which surprised me, and is a very large portion of the fan base. I'd also like to know where you got your '10% to research' number from for breast cancer research, or was that another yahoo answers find? Who said women aren't…
