I felt the exact same way in the 1980's when the NBA kept selecting Larry Bird and John Stockton to the all star team every year in an obvious attempt to market the league’s white players.

Yes, counter-balance. The forward lunge provided counter-balance for the mule kick to the nuts attempt.

so you kick your leg out to get your balance? yeah that makes sense

It’s not just Deadspin. Bagging on the Warriors is what bagging on the Heat was a few years ago. The Wolves are the new cute, hip thing, so their fans should give it, oh, four years till they’re the “villains” and every fan is automatically a bandwagoner.

I’m curious. How many people have theorized that Joel’s actually dead in this trailer and it was the Fireflies that killed him for the slaughter at the hospital and murder of Marlene at the end of the first? Hence this game being one big revenge story with Ellie killing Fireflies to find the person responsible for…

I think Joel in the trailer was a figment of her imagination and this whole scene was her going to avenge his death, the game being just Ellie with some flashbacks of their relationship between the games.

if they want me to fucking tune in and watch football they had better fucking hire lars von trier to make a 30 minute ad spot of Willem Dafoe weeping oil black tears while dissecting a panther and wearing a Pope outfit and in the background the entire Dave Matthews Band is shackled to a wall and being sprayed with…

I’ve noticed. He’ll point out the flop, but God forbid he ever makes mention of Smart’s improved shot, handles, passing or decision making. Personally, I am really loving this mid-range pull’n’pop shot he’s got going on when he drives to the basket. It’s beautiful.

It has been 9 years since I deployed to Iraq. I spent 15 months there doing convoy recovery. Since I got back I’ve dealt with at times crippling PTSD, and about three years ago my therapist recommended I try playing a more realistic war game, as it apparently helps many people (though honestly I don’t know how). At…

Holy shit am I excited to watch Rick Ross talk about Mo Vaughn!

Playing college football is a privilege, not a right. If you can’t have the integrity to avoid illegally purchasing pencils for school, then you can’t be trusted to risk your long term health for the profit of your institution.

Eh, I'm sure when the big moment comes the Seahawks will probably pass.

I broke my arm when I was 13. When they took off the cast, my tendons had healed a little too tight. I found out that I could throw a baseball incredibly fast. I got signed to a major league team and did really well closing out games. I eventually reinjured my arm later in the season and had to retire. But I’ll always…

Look at that top photo. Every season as QB of the Jags is akin to four years in office as President. Blake Bortles will be a spry 48 by the end of next season.

Yeah, this is how I feel. You’re telling me the NFL couldn’t sell tickets and get a TV deal for an eight-game spring league, even if it was functionally a minor league in terms of the players that took part?

He’s the hero New York deserves, but not a hero with knees right now.

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT

Can’t wait until they sign Dwight Howard and finally build a team to take on the 2010-11 Heat.
