Yeah, the Patriots are Bond villain levels of evil. This here is some Scooby-Doo shit.

“A great journalist is comfortable in situations where everyone else is uncomfortable. When I keep showing up to The Undefeated happy hours, when I pull you aside to give you unsolicited advice that goes directly against what the new boss says, and when I keep showing up to the meetings ‘just to, you know, stay in the…

I agree with you, and I think it’s a shame that Deadspin has become a place for performative sanctimony, where one has to preface and apologize for having a different perspective, even if it’s both reasonable and not offensive (like yours).

I don’t know Tom, I mean. I am afraid here at Deadspin to say what I think without repercussion. I mean, I get the ESPYs are just famewhoring anyways. I do think reasonable people (not necessarily just Bob Costas) have legit hesitations about hoisting Caitlyn up so unequivocally. I’m sorry :(

Bob’s soapbox is now officially taller than he is.

We wouldn’t want the ESPY’s to lose all their significance and cache! What would happen if suddenly a a completely fabricated award show hosted by Drake and that once gave an award to NOFX suddenly didn’t command the respect of, say, the Prime Time Emmys?
WHAT THEN!

Add permanent offsides lines to each half of a soccer field (ala hockey blue lines) instead of arbitrary mobile lines that make watching soccer frustrating and low-scoring. That and actually enforce flopping penalties.

I’m old school—and back in my day we would’ve found a lake in a drought just so we could drown Colin Cowherd.

The Washington Post has a nice profile of Andrew Jennings, a British investigative reporter who first started digging into FIFA 15 years ago. “‘These scum have stolen the people’s sport. They’ve stolen it, the cynical thieving bastards,’ [Jennings] said. ‘So, yes, it’s nice to see the fear on their faces.’” [Post]

Abolish the DH. If you’re on the field, you need to hit. Why pitchers can’t hit is bull shit.

Please stop. The sooner people think wearing flip flops in public is unacceptable, the better.

I live in NYC. I’m from the area. I lived upstate for a while. Let’s make a deal - you don’t propagate the use of flip flops, and I won’t make fun of you for being a godless hippie with rancid feet with no respect for your surroundings.

Former Chicago Bears defensive end

Oh I have the best story about a wedding proposal...

Just goes to show that you can only be a corrupt organization for 111 years before it comes back to bite you

As punishment, the Bears will have to continue to play with Cutler.

“If you want, you can talk to my college coach, Urban Meyer” - Ray McDonald

Don’t forget he paid for his own flight, such character.

“And you should see the cocktail waitresses in there.”

Note to men (and people in general): If a woman drives up in a van and asks if you are single and doing anything tonight DO NOT GET IN THE VAN WITH THEM. That is stupid. You are not that good looking. Stop watching so much porn. Life doesn't work that way.
