This seems like as good a time as any to point out that links in Deadspin articles are extremely hard to perceive, even on a good quality monitor. Has anyone ever run that up the chain at Deadspin (or Gawker, if it's their call)? It'd just be a simple CSS tweak...

Gender politics aside, I found the use of the word "woman" (i.e., "the California woman") in the SI excerpt confusing. "'Woman'? Wait—the mom, or the kid? Did he have sex with both the mom and the kid," & etc. Not until I read Tom's last paragraph was it clear that "the California woman" referred to was the…

Justin Blackmon?

I'd say "start out slow/take time to get organised" is putting it charitably. They're almost all just ball-watching. I see no reason why this gambit should work against a side that is ready to simply make the necessary challenges on the attacking players. In fact, a team with anyone willing to win the ball should have…

Look, I've run across plenty of guys who do this kind of shit, and I'm sure you have too. But come on, rejection has nothing to do with the act of street harassing a woman. It's bullying, pure and simple. They're not seriously thinking "If I catcall 30 women today I'm bound to get one of them to fuck me." Even if some…

Realistically, we were never gonna see video of Yadier Molina getting his face screwed by the Cards' equipment guy.

NFL = No "Fuck" League

ED HOCHULI: (*turns on mic*) Dead ball, personal foul, defense number 43. Called an opposing player a fucking limp dick midget. 15 yards, automatic first down.

Dude, it's a jokey comment on a Deadspin post about a CBS Sports photo mistake. Lighten up!

Yeah, but without its natural backdrop of smog it takes some concentration. It'd be like putting Andy Reid behind the grill at Outback Steakhouse in an apron and chef's hat. You'd have to really look to see it was him, ya know?

Most LA residents wouldn't recognize Downtown LA in that pic either. Only rarely do the San Gabriel Mountains appear, and always just after bizarre weather events. Most of us think they're probably a mirage, or green screen FX or something.

Following which Jose Canseco will file a lawsuit against MLB, claiming that the league has been hiding evidence from players about the concussive dangers of fly balls.

Many OK State players required extra tutoring to learn how to prevent their stashes being consumed by bunnies.

Hey, MRSA is no joke. People in earlier Tynes died of that shit.

Leo was born at the right time. He and roid rage (his own, or other guys's) would not have mixed well.

So unless I have Microsoft Office I can't have the benefit of your cool spreadsheet? *sad face* I use Google Docs, and it won't open .xlsm.

Wait, wait — I thought if you're a rookie in your first game after being called up, the veteran guys all get to fart on YOU.

I certainly agree that Summerall was a rare sportscasting talent, and I'd even grant that his hard living may well have been an ingredient that added "soul" to his work. However, I totally disagree with the notion that years of cigarettes and booze are a prerequisite for great sports broadcasting.

Costas is often insightful as an in-studio pundit, but his gift is not for sportscasting — i.e., play-by-play or color commentary during a game.

Of that list, I would second only Al Michaels. Marv Albert is idiosyncratic, but a step down in authority.
