Hey my hometown made it onto Deadspin for googly eyed rather than racist reasons, which qualifies as a mild upset.  Seeing this article was very disorienting for me.

When everyone was arguing about whether the dress was black and blue or white and gold it was annoying because it clearly looked black and blue to me, but I could at least understand that there was some kind of perception quirk going on that meant that all the people saying white and gold weren’t completely wrong.…

Sarver acquired some live goats from a Diana Taurasi event at Talking Stick Resort Arena and planted them upstairs in McDonough’s office.

I got to the end of the second paragraph and thought, “Why do all these references to Britt McHenry have the initials T.L.? Then I saw Tomi Lahren’s name on the tweet. I feel perfectly fine about not being able to tell the difference between the two.

I think the reason older Jeopardy contestants struggle is because of slower reaction times. If each contestant got ten seconds to privately write down the answer to each question on the board I bet older Jeopardy contestants would dominate (up to a point and then senility and a steep cognitive decline take over).

“When they come down, these kids from MIT, Stanford, Harvard, wherever they’re from, they’ve never played baseball in their life,” Werth continued. “When they come down to talk about stuff like [shifts], should I just bunt it over there? They’re like, ‘No, don’t do that. We don’t want you to do that. We want you to…

If we’re on the subject of one-punch knockouts...

The first game I bought with my own money was EarthBound for $20 at Best Buy. If only I’d known then how much I could sell it for today.

Lemieux didn’t just have McSorley types on his team during his career, he literally had Marty McSorley on his team for a season. It’s really only in the last 5 to 10 years that enforcers have disappeared from the game.

The fact is; there are no ‘American Teams’, you cannot show me many teams in the NHLs history that have had a greater proportion of Americans than Canadians who have won the cup.

That’s still not right. Natasha Richardson was married to Liam Neeson at the time of her death and was never married to either Fiennes brother.

Why was Joey Porter at a bar in Pittsburg, KS? That seems strange.

Why is Steve Beuerlein featured so prominently in the photo at the top? Wouldn’t it be better to use a picture where Stephen White isn’t a secondary figure and one that doesn’t make me initially think that Steve Beuerlein is being accused of child abuse?

Steve Bannon, who has proudly described himself as “Thomas Cromwell in the court of the Tudors.”
