Yeah I don’t even mean as part of the “are boxing and MMA sports” (absolutely) or “are NASCAR and F1 sports” (probably) - just that to me, they fall into a different kind of category. Boxing/MMA games to me seem more like Mortal Kombat or something like that (which I would hope we could all agree is not a sports game)…

I really liked World Cup 2011 and was extremely disappointed by World Cup 2015. My high ranking for rugby is probably more aspirational than anything else...I feel like there *should* be a really good video game out there that I’m not willing to admit that the ones that exist so far are pretty disappointing.

I cannot fathom the thought process of a person who would rather play a golf video game than a rugby one. (and no, I’m American)

Today I am learning that people consider racing and fighting games “sports games.” I have always considered them their own separate categories; Mortal Kombat and Mario Kart being in the same grouping as Madden and FIFA is bizarre...right? I guess I’m the unusual one here.

Also, if throwing out a runner at first base on a hard hit single to right field is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

It’s the nostalgia pick I allowed myself. I wasn’t allowed to have console games until I was 13, and I spent a *lot* of time from ages say 8-12 playing that game.

In no particular order:

I love how the Pakistani women throw the ball up in the air and celebrate like it’s a cricket match (I never know how much cricket knowledge to assume on Deadspin, but outs are rare and celebrated excitedly usually in that exact fashion)

either this is a really deep cut of a troll or you read exactly four words of the article. Poe’s Law is frustrating sometimes.

i don’t know what that was supposed to be, but i didn’t laugh once and now my eyes hurt. different strokes.

that’s amazing.

because my real plan was not actually to list all the great accounts - it was to get people riled up about the ones I left out, and thereby find new people to follow. And it’s working! Thank you, I’ll check darth out.

I’ll be on the lookout for Mr. Baseball. There’s not a ton of delving required for the boys are back in town, and I cannot adequately explain why I love Elmer’s Glue’s twitter account so much so that recommendation may have been a mistake.

I was hoping that Hamilton and IMG could form a nice one-two punch (boxing term!) and find interesting boxing stories. I don’t like watching boxing, but I enjoy reading about it. Unfortunately, he appears to be pursuing the plan of being Gawker’s Trojan Horse.

there it is.

Are...are you saying that people saw that a guy had a large dong so they no longer cared that he was a serial emotional abuser?

thank you for the reminder that my sense of humor is nowhere *near* as dark as it could be.

Honest answer: I can’t, and I think that trying to would probably make him less funny. I just like the uncanny valley picture of the world I feel painted by his tweets. Like, this is just beautiful to me for some reason:

Deadspin is not traditionally a very welcome or welcoming place for people who are not important but think they are. And yet now it has this, and Hamilton Nolan. I suspect tension and turbulence are coming.

@WettButt’s only tweet now links to @johnvvariety. I went through his timeline and cracked a smile at a Goofus and Gallant tweet from March. Everything else was both unfunny and incomprehensible. So I’m going to guess no, though my sense of humor is always in question (except when it comes to Jon Bois, Elmer’s Glue,…
