This kinda assumes these venture capital assholes give a solitary, solid shit about G/O Media and aren’t here just to extract maximum profit before selling the various pieces of this place off to the next set of assholes who will try to stomp as many dollars out of it as possible.

I said this in the other article about the Jets clusterfuck, but this whole thing is basically Belichick daring Adam Gase to change literally anything about his game plan, and Adam Gase just refusing to, because he had something he wanted to accomplish in this game and he was going to do it regardless of if it was…

As someone who used to live with someone who smoked while I didn’t, I appreciate people who vape a lot more. There is an advantage to the technology portion of it, which is that mainly when I walked through the door, rather than getting the smell of the worst, cheapest skunk you could buy mixed with the smell of dog…

We can’t even get them to not advertise podcasts from The Ringer on a site that should be competing for views with The Ringer, so I’ma guess they won’t stop the auto-play videos until people stop coming, at which point they’ll justify gutting Deadspin and punting it into the dark abysses of the internet.

It’s not just about knee pads. It’s the seemingly asinine rules about not having pants pulled sufficiently below the knee, or getting fined for having socks that are the wrong length, or an unnecessary and stupid halt in game action because someone isn’t wearing the right sponsored visor, or you can’t wear the wrong…

I think the argument from the player’s perspective is that those knee and thigh pads functionally do nothing, everyone knows they do nothing, and thus fining people for something that everyone knows doesn’t do anything based on the alleged fear or potential lawsuits is BS, especially because what the league is being…

This rule has nothing to do with player safety and everything to do with the NFL’s cabal of old white rich ownership opposing arcane uniform restrictions on it’s (predominantly black) player base for no other reason than 1.) they want the players to not be seen as individuals, lest you remember that playing the game…

This has been my long running theory about Belichick. I don’t think he spends 160 hours crunching tape. I’d be surprised if he stays in the building past, like, 9pm preparing for a good team. His entire approach suggest that he realizes a good portion of the NFL is run by clueless, hapless jerks who are completely…

Look, I don’t drink, but if a drunk driver has enough self-awareness to not only open Google Maps on their way home, and also somehow process that information and drive in a manner that doesn’t attract the cops, then the person driving is not drunk enough.

WWE Creative: BRAUN IS OUR MOST OVER STAR! We’ve successfully made him a star! People want to see him kick ass! Should we put the title on him!?

The worst thing to happen to Braun was that he became a really damn good pro wrestler, and there’s nothing this company loathes more than it’s talent actually being able to put on compelling matches. The second you show you can wrestle consistently good matches is the second the company’s creative figures you can lose…

The thing is, in anything roughly approximating a functional organization, the clusterfuck of misery that happened during Mike Shanahan’s tenure wouldn’t happen. None of that stuff changed when Mike left. The team/coaches/players still leak shit all the time. They’re still taking players the coach doesn’t want.…

This is the thought of someone who has not watch the Redskins play football.

For what it’s worth, the scuttlebutt at the time was essentially that Griffin and Kyle could at least be professional with each other, but a majority of the beef was between Mike and RGIII. Robert said he wouldn’t run read-option, Mike Shanahan basically already saw the writing on the wall and didn’t think RGIII could…

My opinion is that the Saints have used the pass interference call to conveniently scapegoat the fact that they had numerous opportunities to win the game against a Rams team that wasn’t firing on all cylinders and squandered most of them.

Can we all just keep in mind that the only reason this stupid fucking rule exists is because the Saints had (checks notes) approximately eleventy gagillion chances to beat the Rams, but kept letting them hang around until one call finally buried them in the grave they’d spent four quarters digging themselves? 

I wouldn’t say the booking was never good. I think the booking and storytelling has been very good; it’s just been very simple. And that’s a godsend in a company that is currently running three cuckold storylines and where one of their top stars got disqualified in a no disqualification match for being violent in a…

You know what, you’re right, I totally blocked that from memory.

With this, literally every single major sports team in Washington, DC has made it to at least the second round of the playoffs except for the Washington Redskins since Dan Snyder bought the team. Yes, even the fucking Wizards.

I think the difference between Kinja and Facebook/Twitter is that it's far easier to keep the gross, stupid shit in check, in as much as is possible in a community with thousands of people who all have different opinions. It's not that Kinja is some bastion of light in the social media darkness or anything, but it's…
