Way to drop Kobe into a discussion of far better players that he has no business being in. You really forced it in the backdoor — just like Kobe!

Every so often, I remember that in 2018, the Oscars made a Big Deal about it being “Time’s Up” for Bad Men in the industry. They gave Kobe an Oscar that year for his poorly animated self-blowjob.

Kobe Fans Have Beef with Well Done Ranking

I must have been on the cusp of a cycle or a no-hitter during my entire baseball career as a kid because none of my teammates ever spoke to me.

I suspect these people are reticent to draft and sign real contracts because they might find themselves violating any number of banking/gambling laws. That’s not to say that this practice is illegal (IANAL and don’t know), but when you start lending money for the purpose of playing poker I’d be willing to bet there…

Design meeting attended by only various versions of 11 year-old me

Design meeting:

“What should the failure mode be for the wave generator?”
“Nothing, it should just die quietly and stop functioning.”
“We could do that. Or.. and hear me out on this one...”

This is Chris Thompson suddenly noticing the low fuel light on his DeadLettersmobile, and pulling into the nearest station.

At least he cheats the right way.

I’m not sure that’s true because, almost by definition, weak hitters don’t get on base. Even if they’re patient and have a good eye, pitchers are going to stay in the zone because . . . they’re facing weak hitters.

I see you also enjoy shrooms. welcome friend

This is one of my favorite offseason activities too. We work really hard during the season, letting loose is good for mental health 

The levels are arbitrary, but I’m not sure it will ever be possible to come up with a precise answer as to what the perfect or “fair” level would be. While the level is arbitrary, all of the upper limits that would be applied to Semenya are generous in the sense that they are well outside the “normal” upper level in…

But what if they managed to shoehorn the word “discriminatory” a few more times into every headline, would that convince you the rulings are bad?

The only option left is for it to be litigated in the Deadspin comments section

well the USSF is a private business just like every other football association in the world. Cause that’s how FIFA requires it. The USSF is just another business.

What this misses is that the men’s team has a much higher value than the women’s team, even if they generate less money in any given year.

Please source. “the women generate equal or more revenue than the men.”

I don’t think the USSF is a public entity. They’re not government run or publicly funded, I don’t think. I don’t have much of an opinion on the pay issue but we shouldn’t kid ourselves that international sports are anything other than a business. 

a game check handed to a member of the USMNT is larger than a game check handed to a member of the USWNT, when it should not be, if for no other reason than that the job is the same.
