No matter how much you trust or care about ESPN (personally, I don’t particularly like them, despite and/or partly because of the fact that I used to work there), you’d have to be a complete idiot to think these stories were real. I agree with your paragraph about not blaming ESPN; I disagree with your paragraph about…

That’s one of the best things I’ve seen all weekend.

As a huge Everton fan, I think I speak for most people when I say: Blow the fucking whistle, and/or raise your fucking flag, idiots.

Ah, another douchey Petchesky headline. “If you don’t think they deserve to get in because their careers were tainted by steroids, you’re an unequivocal moron!”

Serious question: Who the hell cares about GameFAQs “best [x] ever” polls, and why? I honestly thought those stupid things died out years ago.

“Talking, Fictional Dog”... as opposed to “Talking, Actual Dog”?

Good on you, Deadspin. Nobody will do it- well, they *might*, but not because of your offer- but I respect the hell out of you for it.

Good for Olivia. Fuck that guy.

In an article about how people shouldn’t stereotype feminists as man-haters (which they obviously shouldn’t), why would you stereotype somebody who loves crossword puzzles as a loner? Why can’t he be a successful, happy individual with a ton of friends who *also* happens to like writing around crosswords?

Even though the whole “not picking anyone to win the Finals” thing was telegraphed from the very start, that was an exceptionally funny- and quite informative- article. Great job, Albert.

Why such a shitty response? Not every store is exactly the same, and there are certainly plenty of jewelry stores that DON’T work that way. This person is saying, “I’ve been to this exact store, so I know what it’s like there.”

“You’d have missed it if you split before the end of the episode...”

Yeah, “No Tokyo Sexwale in the Jerome Champagne Room” would’ve been not only more accurate to the line, but also much funnier, but I have to give the guy credit nonetheless.

Kate Beaton is a goddamn treasure- brilliant, hilarious, and insightful (and not just in her comics). It’s also a huge shame that she created two phrases that have entered worldwide Internet consciousness- “Aww yiss” and “I had fun once [and] it was awful”- and few people realize it was her genius.

I really want to know why this guy thinks he’s qualified to talk about sports on-air. I doubt he’s played in the NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB, so by his logic, he shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a microphone.

You know, if I’m going to my job, and I’m late- or I wake up, and I’m late, or if I’m late for any reason- I’m probably going to call my boss and let them know, not just show up a couple of hours after I was supposed to. Maybe that’s not a common courtesy in all professions, but perhaps it should be when the average…

If this article had been on ESPN, Deadspin would be mercilessly berating its author.

“All of their key players are old, so they should sell their budding superstar.” Yep, sounds like Deadspin logic to me. Maybe they’ll suggest Mondragon as Howard’s replacement.

Abby Howard. That is all.

FWIW, Witwix pledged $10 per death, ProfessorBroman pledged $20, and Sylmando pledged $5.
