They're irrational.

What's the "appropriate" response?

The Panthers won on October 5th to break a two-game losing streak.

These guys will do great in prison.

The entire strategy for succeeding at anything, whether it's winning elections, selling a product or attracting visitors for your Website, revolves around pitching yourself as loudly as you can to those people on your side and turning those who disagree with you into the worst version of themselves, demonizing them…

How much more do these sportswriters earn than Deadspin writers?
