that’s part of the problem. Last January we all saw one of the most blatant non-calls ever, and instead of it leading to a tightening up of the officiating it’s lead to a stupid rule and to even more blown calls because none of the small fuckups will match that one massive fuckup. 

Yes...be very careful of what you say about “black people, minorities, women etc.” in our country.

Somehow the far left team beat the (almost) far right team.

I suggest that tanking into 0-16 should negate 17-0 so that both seasons are removed from the record books.

This chart looks like an aquarium with a dead fish on the bottom left.

And none of what that clown says is remotely true. And again...for those in the back. Freedom of speech is freedom from government intervention and prosecution for protected speech (and not all speech is protected). Getting fired for exercising speech does not fall under any auspices of the First Amendment. This shit…

“Although some people like to brag about America’s freedom of speech, there’s a lot of topics that are actually quite tightly censored – if you say one thing that goes against the politically correct line, you will immediately lose your job and be scorned by the entire population.”

I’d like to start a petition.. if the Dolphins go 0-16 then we no longer have to witness the 1972 Dolphins celebrate when the last undefeated team losses... watching them celebrate is insufferable.  

In general, I’m not in favor of make up calls because most applications of them will leave the ump’s fingerprint on the game, even if just subtly.

Yeah, no. The ump made the call here because Sanchez’s acting made him think it was a foul ball. This is absolutely how it is supposed to work. Sanchez is an idiot for thinking he’d get any calls the rest of that at bat after that bullshit.

Nope.

Whoever’s fault, the point is it affects Deadspin’s site, and Deadspin could play hardball with the ad network if they wanted. Maybe they don’t have the bargaining power to do so, but thats’a different discussion.

I would like to add comments being borked on mobile and full screen ads on laptop. I’ve been soooo tempted to re-install ad-block and enable it just for the G/O sites alone.

It really does seem that the “genius” of Gawker’s new private equity Forbes alum bosses is to load up a website with every kind of annoying ad imaginable.

My dudes, you have killed Splinter, you laid off a bunch of cool journalists, I have even stuck with you through your auto-play video ads that kill my YouTube video playing in the background, but if you don’t stop these ads that auto-forward my ipad to some “install flash player now!” website with no back button so I…

There’s also the fact that if Sanchez had run to first instead of making the argument that he tipped it, he might actually have made it, that ball BOUNCED. I guess in the end what he did worked for the time being, but still...

“For football keepers transitioning to ice hockey, there’s a lot of adjustments,” Čech said. “But playing for Arsenal made me very comfortable with my defenders gliding backward towards my net.”

This is going too far. She perfectly recreated the character. She’s not saying that his skin color is a costume, she is treating the whole character as one. What was she supposed to do, make the character white? Then wouldn’t there be people shitting on her for black erasure? Should males complain because she is…
