I would even venture to guess that his “friendships” with Clev and Biebs was mostly generated by the media. If you read in between the lines on a lot of the quotes, it was like “hey, he liked to talk about pitching, so that was cool, I guess... but how about these guys we brought in?” 

I would just like to add one thing:

Thanks for this perspective, I really do value it. And I’m not saying I disagree with you. I’m very ignorant when it comes to the NL, so reading things like this help clarify some of my questions.

I’ll be up front: I’m an Indians fan.

Unfortunately I work for a newspaper publishing company and one of our coverage areas is very close to Eden, NC. This morning they ruled out a gas leak and they’ve also said they do not suspect foul play. Which begs the question.... the fuck?

I thought the same thing but it actually was both. 

I can’t be the only person who has literally zero recollection of Kyle Lowry playing for Memphis AND Houston 

Dude, Ed, this is some verbose bullshit. I’m a damn Cleveland fan and you just made me PITY Warrior fans for this completely inept treatment of them. Yes, the Bay has a ton of money. Like most any other city, the people attending the big games often aren’t the “real fans.” (Though, shit, I have a buddy with tickets to…

Yeah, wtf was that part? Just glossing over the fact that he was actually one of the people inhabiting the snooty, $22,000-a-year club

Felt like as good a time as ever to promote the most uncomfortable jingle ever written

...but Lindor was well on his way to safely reaching second...

I mean, this is basically the same Warriors squad that went 73-9 back when they cared, no? I’ve been a bit surprised people have classified them as “depleted” etc. Sure, they are not the team we’ve seen walk through the playoffs the past two seasons, but I don’t think we should consider this an indictment of the…

Deadspin, Friday: The Raptors are completely, and irrevocably fucked

As a long-suffering Indians/Browns fan (who is not a Cavs fan, remarkably), I’ve always wondered if one title would make it all go away. It makes me very sad that you imply it will not. 

Would like to state, on the record, that my ex-wife is not allowed to date or have sex with any rival men. Her being single is an asset to my bankruptcy case.

I definitely think that’s possible, though I still can’t help but think Jeff Capel shows back up on campus after getting fired from Oklahoma for recruiting violations and Duke just magically starts landing all of these one-and-dones at the exact same time... it just doesn’t add up. That being said, perhaps he just…

It is so fucking hilarious that this idiot thinks Duke would be dumb enough to have invoices floating around paying Zion’s mom for some bogus shit. Of COURSE Duke actually paid all of these 5-stars they’ve magically started getting but I 100% guarantee you that this is a Mob Boss type of scheme where Coach K can…

It’s kind of hilarious to me that a bunch of PIOs were sitting around thinking, “Okay, we arrested the owner of the most popular team in the most popular sport in America, but how do we attract a lot of attention to this case?” and came up with sex trafficking allegations instead of releasing a video of said…

1) I never claimed to be mature (and welcome to the Deadspin comments section, bud)

Really appreciate you posting this, came here to say basically the same thing. Virginia has staggeringly good offensive efficiency and it pisses me off so bad when people discredit them because they like to control the temp. If you can’t appreciate Virginia, then you probably can’t appreciate the college game at all.…
