It’s funny how people project on neutral Jez posts. Sometimes people get all indignant like why are we supposed to be angry about this?! and then there’s comments like this one with the whole so what why are we praising this?! It’s like some readers just can’t handle news for news’ sake.

She was a pretty savvy businesswoman as well. A large part of her fortune actually came from selling half the shares in L’Oréal she inherited from her father in exchange for a stake in the Nestlé company (which actually now owns about 30% of L’Oréal).

who exactly said she should be praised? like, did you even read this or this is simply your knee-jerk reaction to any news about a wealthy individual?

On August 2, 1907, I encountered the most threatening sight I ever saw in the ball field. He was a rookie, and we licked our lips as we warmed up for the first game of a doubleheader in Washington.

Wait, isn’t Deadspin contractually obliged to say something shitty about Boston in any post about a Boston sports team?

I disagree although love you girl. I think for trump money is the means to adulation. He could be even richer if he invested and made prudent business decisions. But instead he had to slap his name all over everything. That’s why he has his golden palace and “hot” wife.

We are all General Kelly.

I mean, not when they’re all SHRILL and ABRASIVE, and BOSSY and THINK THEY’RE OWED SOMETHING FOR THEIR DECADES OF DEDICATED PUBLIC SERVICE!

I love Tommy but I don’t think he can even conceive of someone putting their career goals on the line to make a political statement.

My dear sweet lord woman, how have you not murdered everyone around you? If you need an alibi... you were probably babysitting for me.

There are early reports coming out of an apparent scuffle in the outfield bleachers. It would seem that Bill Belichick and John Farrell were jostling for position so that each could set up their cameras to record this historic moment.
