I think the problem with this is that Dany is supposed to become a complete psycho monster.  I’m sure that’s one of the things that GRRM told the show writers when he shared his plan for the ending of the show.  She is not supposed to end up as the benevolent ruler.  The problem is just that they made her take this…

This might be the most I’ve ever laughed at a Deadspin comment.  It’s just fucking perfection.

Seeing your name on a post about what should be an interesting topic is like getting a free steak dinner that’s been sautéed in piss.

This is a bad take.

I’ve tried to explain to people that a horse isn’t a car. When Maximum Security veered from his lane he forced the horses behind him to slow. A horse going full bore down the stretch can’t just slow down and speed right back up again like a car. The momentum is lost and the horses behind him lost the opportunity to…

The jockeys of both Long Range Toddy (an affected horse) and Country House lodged protests. The jockey aboard Maximum Security has been accused of this type of interference before. The stewards watched video, interviewed jockeys and voted unanimously for this disqualification. Sorry to be so harsh, but you really need…

Everyone I follow on Twitter who actually knows horse racing thought the DQ was the correct call.

Piss-poor take. It’s like someone who only watches the Super Bowl and no other games all year complaining about a crucial ineligible man downfield penalty that affects the outcome of the game. Horse racing has rules. “Leading the entire way” and “quickly straightening out his horse” is all well and good but the foul…

this article and it’s “take” should be mortifying for deadspin.  the rider and horse broke two lanes wide in the turn and that is a clear cut disqualification.  it nearly triggered a catastrophic fall which would have resulted in carnage.  it was a call that would warrant little fanfare at races happening every day…

What, you actually know how horse racing works? Get out of here with that relevant knowledge and bring me the hot taeks about how replay sucks and is bad.

Not his first time failing to maintain a line an endangering other horses and jockeys. To be clear, the race today was breathtakingly close to a full on disaster 

Say what you will about the outcome, but this year’s Kentucky Derby was worth it for Matt Bevin getting viciously booed by my fellow Kentuckians. 

Oh fuck off. Watching Vela in the form he is in now doesn't require any qualifiers. Enjoy soccer.

That feel when you try to act smug and superior and instead self-own. Good to know he is wholly unqualified to talk about the domestic league, instead of just assuming. No wonder he only talks about the Front Office, the second he talks about the product the veil gets lifted.

“presumable” because I haven’t watched a minute of MLS this season so I’ve not had the chance to subject his performances to my own visual examination

See, I went right to Clay Travis, but it's the same idea. 

This is the kind of thing I can imagine happening to Ben Shapiro, who would then devote an entire podcast to it. 

yeah, but I was on a time crunch to get this joke off ASAP. Writing under a deadline to make the first “brian kelly killed a kid” joke is stressful lol
