Resident best friend of the show Don MacLean does make solid points; it should be acknowledged that the snake killer did train D. Russell prior to the draft so he would have keen insights on the rookie. Whatever inability of Scott as a coach, I have to agree that is too early to call the development of D. Russell a…

I would submit the tag match with Randy Savage/Bret Hart vs. Ric Flair/Shawn Michaels on Wrestling Challenge back in the day as a hidden gem.

This is why we are cool on Twitter.

Dick Gregory, among others, has a fascinating way of connecting this situation to Ennis [sic] Cosby’s murder.

I refuse to believe we can have a nice thing like that.

I have never seen it stated as succinctly.

The mindset of ballplayers being in the shadow of the other “cities” known for football I can understand. You are gold. Have a good beer today.

This commentary coupled with “race” and the responsibility Vontaze Burfict and Adam Jones afterwards was at least passable to comprehend. Passable in that it did not make me want to say “you fucked over a golden opportunity for an alternate education model involving student athletes and NCAA regulations. You didn’t…

I figured you were from the city, but I wanted to still give Bakersfield some credit on something big like Deadspin. I defer to your representation of the attitude of sports too. (I have the same urge with the I.E.)

50 yard line, warm up tough guy. Bakersfield is not at fault for him.

1) The CBS broadcast team of Phil Simms and Jim Nantz have to be the worst at bringing perspective and analysis on critical or controversial moments. They were as bad as listening to Joe Monday Morning Zoo Quarterback during the situation on the field with those back to back penalties. They actually circled jerked to…

I’m happy to not be alone in thinking this.

He was anti-gangsta though?

I happen to be in the fan of Petros crowd and Matt Smith too. Petros is sincere even though his radio show comes off as the most self-aware trolling broadcast in recent memory. Strikes me as something like the last two seasons of Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Does anybody remember the Philadelphia Eagles organization leaked information prior and after D. Jackson being released; it was alleged he had affiliated with gang members and might secretly be a member. That was supposedly a major concern and distraction within the locker room and organization. Jackson was funding…

I agree with you. These think pieces on Cosby’s moral obligation to admonish young African Americans, particularly males, with his horse sense sermons didn’t exist in these circles. Not a lot of people examined the pros and cons of Bill Cosby; he was just grumpy on Jimmy Fallon or sounded like an out of touch…
