As someone who covers New Jersey high school sports, I have attended more Don Bosco Ironmen football games than I could have ever imagined (because I would have always imagined the number would be zero).

As a former student who ALSO joined Brandeis in September of 2003... wow.

Not even REMOTELY the best name of all-time. Not even close to being the best NotY champion- Nohjay Nimpson, Dr. Taco B.M. Monster, Vanilla Dong, and Jew Don Boney Jr. would like to have a word with you.

I think that’s EVERYONE’S pick to go all the way, which means they will.

That’s the dumbest fucking beef I’ve ever seen. “We can still play defense, but you can’t play offense.” OK, idiots.

That’s a very inaccurate comparison. Vegas is essentially made up of the tenth-best players from other rosters, not the 18th- or 20th-best, so they’re better than neely-promoted. On the other hand, LC is in a league with no salary cap and barely survived dropping out of it the previous season. Plus, with no playoffs,…

Holy shit, this is the first thing I’ve ever heard the guy say that I haven’t completely despised. Good on you, Johnny.

Quick Googling told you that ~15% of American babies are named Orville? And you didn’t second-guess that at all?

I swear, I have never seen a professional writer get as many factual details in articles completely wrong as Chris Thompson. It seems like every week, the dude screws something up.

The answers to all of your questions:

I saw Pita at a party no more than four hours after the Closing Ceremony ended, and I had no idea he was any more involved than just showing up and waving Tonga’s flag. That’s pretty cool.

I don’t know who Megan is, but considering Marchman was a fucking terrible writer and editor, she’s a massive upgrade by default.

Oh my goooooooooood, Deadspin, we get it- PED users should be in the Hall! You write a half-dozen articles about it EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Whether we agree with it or not, we acutely understand your stance, so find something else to write about already!

And he also shouldn’t be. What’s your point?

Five seconds later, they gave Steph a 3 when his foot was VERY clearly on the line.

Blocked shots absolutely count as misses in the NBA and all other levels of basketball (source 1: go to any play-by-play where somebody has a shot blocked, then compare to the box score- for example, Michael Carter-Williams only had two shot attempts last night, and one was blocked; source 2: I’m a professional sports…

“But Cleveland could only hit 7-of-28 from three-point range, and even though Golden State wasn’t that much better at 12-for-32"

Considering I’ll be spending all of February in South Korea, this is extremely helpful! Bravo, Dennis!

Marchman was clearly a better editor than he was a writer, because the site is great but his writing is shit.

I hate phrases like “their first Winter Olympics since 2010". They’ve only missed one- that’s like saying “the San Jose Sharks are hoping to make their first Stanley Cup Finals since 2016".
