Oh common he crumpled like a dried up maple leaf...

Wainwright said what he said; Heyward said what he said. What I said is that “Heyward doesn’t want to be the focal point on his team” is a value-neutral statement, right or wrong. You and Deadspin are the ones reading “... because he’s a wuss” into Wainwright’s words, despite the fact that all the words he actually…

I’m a Yankee fan, which means that I’m my own special kind of asshole and that I don’t really give a shit about the Cards or any NL team.

So is there a “War on the Cardinals”?

You’re hearing that because you want to hear that. There’s a difference between not wanting to be the face of the franchise and being a coward, which is why Wainwright made no such connection.

Jesus tapdancing Christ, Deadspin; the guy was asked a question and he answered it with effusive praise for Heyward, whom I daresay he knows a bit better than you or I do, and provided a charitable theory for why Heyward would prefer the Cubs (other than the real reason which was “Star Wars money in 2018”), and you…

What a teaching moment! That kid will ALWAYS remember that night he didn’t get paid for being in a shoe commercial.

Who would have thought that Verne Lundquist would still be shining the brightest of everyone in Happy Gilmore?

Relax, Robert. You’re not a Brown yet.

Somebody took notes during Cris Carter’s seminar.

KG would’ve won the Game of Thrones by season 2.

Lolz. You’ve bought into the absurd notion that the reason that Islamic Jihad exists is because of poverty. It has nothing to do with poverty and instead, it has everything to do with their faith.

you forgot accountability, it’s being removed from our society at a rapid pace. Nobody is held accountable anymore, this type of teaching ultimately leads to acts that find some form of blame other than the person who did it....in this case blame the tool used, not the person who obviously missed a few life lessons.

By that logic, freedom of the press should only apply to people who publish old timey broadsheets on physical paper. This is the type of discussion that doesn’t help the issue - just straight up say you want to ban all guns and leave it at that. It’s more intellectually honest.

...whether the amendment to the Constitution that explicitly states (go read it) that people who are in militias can own guns also means that people who are not in militias can own guns, and if so, whether and which citizens should own guns. Most of these opinions will be the incorrect opinion.

See, that’s the thing about Gawker commenters: they have no sense of what the rest of the country (or world) is like. They thing they are the happy-medium, right in the middle, and that anyone right of them is rightwing. In reality, they are in the left-most 5% of the body politic, and are completely wrong about where…

The only explanation I can think of is that the older boy wasn’t her kid - maybe she was an aunt or new nanny just started dating one of the parents or he was the younger child’s friend and she was watching the two of them. Like close enough to know of his allergy and have the epipen, but not the guardian of him often…

Yep, Bruce Buffer is long winded as fuck from this angle too.
