If nobody watches hockey how does this spread the “toxic and problematic parts of masculinity”? I don’t watch a lot of soccer but when I do I feel like I see too many guys faking injuries, does this mean that soccer is perpetuating and enabling victimhood? How about we just stick to the things we like and if it isn’t…

I wish I could rewind/replay and see the different reactions for a dozen different chyrons.

And this team gets Boogie on Friday?

Someone WILL pull out their phone to tie their shoes during the dunk contest this year, like Dee Brown and his Reebok pumps back in the 90s. I’m getting old.

I’m still waiting for the shoes that will auto-tweet how awesome I am every time I hit a jump shot on my kid’s Little Tyke hoop.

That guy’s male-pattern baldness, facial hair, and pot-belly combo is basically the “Now, I’m not racist, but...” starter pack. What’s the over/under on the number of times since he got fired that he’s told someone how nobody can take a joke anymore and everyone’s too PC? I would bet my life’s savings ($6.42) that he…

He needs to market a new erectile disfunction drug for old dudes branded “Dick Vitality.”

There’s something so amazing about seeing teammates and fans jump with him as he throws it down. If that’s not an apt metaphor for sports fandom, I don’t know what is.

I don’t really get why there are constant talks about MLB expansion when multiple teams can’t even draw fans to their stadiums. Why does it make more sense to open new stadiums in these areas, while simultaneously diluting the talent base, and hope that they gain a decent amount of support, instead of moving an…

Sometimes, only your Pham can tell you the hard truths. 

Meanwhile, Charlotte’s AAA team leads the minors in average attendance, and the Rays’ own AAA team, the Durham Bulls, is not far behind.  

Dana White looks like Kingpin after a Silkwood shower of Axe Body Spray.

“And yet Drew Brees, despite coming up short his entire life, was able to overcome this adversity to win tonight. He wears his shortcoming like a mark upon his cheek, but doesn’t let the detractors prevent him from winning.”

I just realized he’s the male version of Kathy Geiss.

To borrow from the Gruden redshift motif, shouldn’t Deadspin use a standard image of Mark Davis for articles such as this, and for every further entry make his coiffe bowl-ier, and raise his hairline incrementally?

I miss "Fat Benatar"…

I loved that bizarre promo they dug up with the female host plugging what's on after the commercial, "Next up, we meet four ladies who really know how to toss a salad." The Sklars reaction, just sitting there open-mouthed without making any sort of comment, was priceless and perfect.

They were always at the top of their game when they would show events from the early days of ESPN2, which tended to couple XTREME sports with the constantly-moving camera style that was so in vogue in the early 90s.  That the Sklars could mock the youth-culture aspirations of these events without coming off as simply…
