So help me out here, American friends, it seems like a lot of the schools that are being implicated in these scandals are big sports-heavy schools which, as far as I know, are reputed to be very expensive and academically middling.

An Irish Bruins fan? What are the o’dds?

I think, to use another example, that if there’s a news story about a white supremacist march that it’s not that much of a highwire act to be clear about whether a joke is about victims of racism or whether it’s a joke about the gormless dipshits who are white supremacists. And if there is some confusion, feel free to…

I don’t know why you put “cope with tragedy” in quotation marks as it’s not what I said and not really a representation of what I said.

I don’t want to make a thing of this but I think, down here in the comments section, there’s a difference between “I’m willing to make a joke about this” and “I don’t think this is a serious thing”. There are lots of things that are serious and terrifying in the world that people joke about to help cope with the stark…

The future of the NFL, which has two more seasons of labor peace before the CBA expires in March 2021, is in some truly mediocre hands.

As a former college student and under-employed person I get drinking on a budget but I agree that there are some people who seem to wear drinking crappy stuff as a badge of honour. Personally I’m not big into hoppy IPAs or stouts so craft brewing often leaves me cold but there are lots of good, clean tasting lagers to…

Would you know it’s Hitler? Or does it just sound like some Austrian guy going at it? Because I have to imagine that just hearing German sex in general is pretty harrowing. 

What if it’s a Fleabag-esque Hot Priest? Or does that bump it up to #6? 

I mean, drink what you like if you likes it I say. I just find that when people choose drinks specifically so they get the drunkest per dollar they end up sounding like junkies. And not in the fun way but the middle chapters of Trainspotting way. 

I’m trying to remember the name of what my buddy drank that was so foul back then. Faxe? Something Danish anyway. 

I’m not sure what’s worse, being Takes-Ball-Away-From-Kids Guy or being Chooses-Drinks-Based-On-ABV guy.

I’m biased because I live here but yes, Toronto’s weather is generally fine outside of having cold and snowy winters. More or less it’s the same weather as New York.

Coaches only have to pay schools if they leave early if that’s written into their contract. It’s not a “flip side” of players being exploited that coaches have to abide by the terms of their contract. 

I will genuinely never understand fans wanting to level how much teams can offer players. At least how much money a team offers a player is something they can control. But as Raptors fans have had to deal with over and over again, we can’t change the weather or reduce the tax rate or get the CRTC to let American…

Sex workers rights not of paramount importance say men in alligator shoes.

Dan Plesac is every team’s remember that guy guy. 

You see, this is why I’m moving on from Deadspin and their constant focus on politcs and heading more and more over to the Ringer where they are talking about the things that really matter to me as a sports fan like which Rom-Com from 2003 holds up the best. 

See, here’s my thing about that poll. Obviously some of those guys are chuckleheads but what level athlete would you need to be to score a point against her?  It’s like, I’d believe any guy who’d ever played at least Single A or good college baseball “could” hit a homerun against Justin Verlander so what sort of…

In a way though I guess that’s my point. One or two players can make so much of a difference in the NBA that a team who thinks they can draft a guy like that isn’t trading out of that pick no matter how many late firsts you might be offering them in a bundle.
