This is an exceedingly dumb argument because it treats hormones like magic. Phelps’ body, for instance, produces far less lactate than most people, which is directly related to his ability to consistently perform in race after race, which is central to his racking up so many medals. This is clearly and distinctly an…

My problem with this movie is that it’s not really art, it’s more of amusement park ride.

Give no fucks in the morning, Give no fucks in the evening, Give no fucks at suppertime...with Splinter and Deadspin, you can give no fucks at any time!

For God’s sake, this is an article about the Simpsons and “pobody’s nerfect” was staring you right in the face! That comment’s clever...just like you! Hmm? Hmm?

I see you gamergaters are the new “Um excuse me! She’s a teenager so it’s tehcnically ebophilia not pedophilia!!1!1!!” Thanks for your extremely pedantic rebuttal that doesn’t at all address the actual criticism!

Yeah, but it doesn’t explain at all why the 500+ years of true crime stories were illegitimate or why Serial is somehow magically different than them. I mean, it kind of hints at the idea that now that yuppie white people are following true crime stories they’re “legitimate” but that’s...not a good argument.

Only if they still have that friend, Gary Meadows

Yeah, people give him way too much leeway for the fact that his mom died. Shit, people still bring that up as an excuse for him now. And it’s like, yeah, it’s definitely sad when a beloved relative dies. But it also doesn’t give you a pass for being a misogynistic xenophobic asshole for the next two decades.

Being not nice to war criminals sends the message that being a war criminal is bad. I’m not certain why this is confusing at all.

Yeah, I think we’re all surprised when anyone who even feints at being a good person wholeheartedly supports ear criminals. I don’t think “don’t be nice to war criminals” is a really intensive purity test to apply to people.

I love how he immediately questions his own excuse. Pretty much a line only Norm can really make work.

I’d leave a longer comment here, but I need to...go...lift...weights? What?

Yes, having basic human decency is just unbearable

I wish this article was about sports, because as a sports fan, that’s all I can understand. Why is this entire website not dedicated to sports?

“Matt Damon plays the car”

STICK TO SPROTS!!!1!1!1!!1!

I’ve always maintained an open bar is a basic aspect of the social compact -- by definition, at least half of the people at your wedding do not want to be there, and I’d say at least 25% don’t know who you are. But they put on a tie/dress, so you get them drunk for free. That’s pretty basic social politeness.

So, like, is deadspin getting axed like Splinter was? No new posts at all today while someone posts all the shit about how their bosses suck? Did they finally kill it?

“Ray Ratto wishes baseball teams asked only children and amiable vagrants to sit in the suites. Baseball is really no place for adults.”

“Man, a team leader making the shortsighted decision to intentionally sabotage his employees’ situation for a slim chance at a small, ultimately meaningless reward? As an employee of G/O Media, I can’t relate to such a thing. The Browns lost, 27-13.”
