So she was nice as long as she was sweet and humble and didn’t have an opinion?

Lebron is according to the rest of the Internet.

Adam LaRoche would like to have a word with you.

No matter what happens I just want to say thank you to all the Deadspin staff. I started reading your articles about 5 years ago. Before that I barely paid attention to sports news, because I thought they were all like ESPN or SI. You guys helped me to develop a greater love for sports by showing them in a more…

He’s one of those guys you can’t help but root for after all he’s been through... and it’s great to see him healthy and contributing toward getting his second ring.

This is a reasonable and correct take and has no place in Kinja.

As someone who hasn’t spoken to my father in 8 years, not out of any anger or fallout but just because we are two entirely different people, families are not permanent. They’re just a loose agreement that genetics mean something socially.

When you spend a 15 year career being a flopper you get what you get. No sympathy for Ginoboli.

this is a stupid take.

I thought Tunsil handled himself very well in the interviews he did after the draft. He didn’t lie or try to deny anything. He didn’t get angry or try to blame someone else. He didn’t even seem bitter or upset that he probably lost several million dollars. He admitted it was him, said it was mistake, said he was happy…

No, no, I saw those free throws: It’s DeAndre Jordan who has the broken hand.

I’m from LA and a Lakers fan. The day Howard left was a good day, even though the Lakers suck now, life would have sucked more having to see that idiot’s smile. My condolences Houston fans but we warned you.

Also the bikers who bike on the sidewalk. There’s a reason it’s illegal.

Maybe don’t be so old?

A back-road is just another public street which you have no idea what’s around the next bend. Calling it a “back-road” doesn’t make it okay to street-race. Spirited driving, sure, but racing on the streets - any street - isn’t okay anywhere.

Unfortunately, I bought this (trying to replace Clear) and while I wanted to love the service, I have become terribly disappointed and disgusted. I live in a building that does not allow you to install your own provider as they provide their own (very slow and crappily deployed) service. So I wanted something that I…

Wrong. A person doesn’t owe you an explanation for why they’re not interested. The fact that they’re not interested should be enough.

This is not to say that providing a reason wouldn’t be nice, or helpful. Just that people do not owe you a reason for saying no to a date or romantic overture.

Yes, it’s possible. However, we KNOW Byron Scott is a shitty coach. We DON’T KNOW if D’Angelo Russell is a shitty player.

On this day that we honor the great champion of non-violent protest, we are glad to see Barnes using one of Dr. King’s more obscure quotes: “violence is never the answer, but sometimes it is”. Or maybe that was Gandhi.

a) You probably don’t ride. Believe me, there are plenty of places that are unsafe for a car to pass where it’s no problem for a bike (either due to the bike being able to do the pass or simply because of things like better sightlines due to lane positioning etc). So it comes down to The Law vs. common sense, being…
