I had no opinion on cricket until I married an Indian guy who is really into it. It’s actually really fun to watch. Imagine baseball, but the pitcher takes a running start, the batter pretty much has to hit every ball thrown at them, way more home runs, and the stakes are higher because once you’re out, you’re out.…
Ben is a Deadspin reader who likes cricket.
I have no opinion on cricket, but it’s good to see they care about this sort of thing more than my favorite sporting league does.
Interesting fun fact about using the same ball, baseball used to be the same way. A ball hit foul or over the fence would be returned to be used again. Over the course of the game it would soften and lose its shape making it hard to hit, with the pitcher requiring less effort to throw strikes. It would also become…

Rremarkably, despite this being field level at the Super Bowl, they somehow did NOT even catch him on camera.
From a news article I read they state there is no security footage, but they claim a police officer witnessed it. The fact that the police officer supposedly saw this crime and did not arrest him on the spot for it should tell you how credible the allegations are.
Portrait mode is not admissible in court.
In all seriousness, can someone tell me why a 66 year old paraplegic was tasked with controlling access to the field at the Super Bowl?

I’ve heard the accuser’s story and they don’t have a leg to stand on.
I’m sorry, not to be an ass but I’m still struggling with “paraplegic security guard”.
I know Rusty Hardin is a famous and accomplished attorney, but his name still sounds like a supporting cast member of “The 13th Man in Your Mom, Vol. 6".
A year from now this will less of an issue, as Lebron should be able to run the point for Golden State if Curry is out.
NBCs F1 coverage was amazing compared to what ESPN just gave us.
