Big deal, I grow 2 inches every time Deadspin posts an article on women’s MMA

Very simple analytical premise: The position of QB in the modern NFL is the most valuable single position maybe in any sport ever: NFL Rules are heavily skewed to give the QB a big competitive edge, and a big edge in injury prevention; and all this on top of the classic roles of the QB as team leader, holder of the…

I would imagine you’re paying a big premium for the legitimacy of being with an actress/model rather than some random prostitute. Even if she’s C or D list (not sure quite how ones qualifies for these lists) or “up and coming,” it’s far more impressive to show off that you’re with an actress than with some girl who…

At the point in which you have sex for money, you become one. Which is why, I’m assuming that the appeal is in getting someone to contravene their moral compass.

I was gonna say. College basketball’s done, NBA playoffs haven’t started yet, the NFL hasn’t drafted and the European soccer leagues are in a relative lull right now. No real sports news to speak of.

That’s great for Russell Westbrook but Mike Trout is still the superior hitter by nearly every advanced metric

Alyssa’s decision to omit the fact that she slept with men is as painful and tragically flawed as is Holden’s proposing a three-way to solve their problems. That’s exactly why I love this movie. The characters are all fucked-up, confused, unevenly-socialized, middle-to-working class New Jerseyans. Just like Kevin…

I’m not arguing the movie has issues by a long shot, but the idea that a woman talking to a guy about being a lesbian (when he has shown her he clearly doesn’t understand nearly any part of that and Google is not yet a cultural and economic zeitgeist) and choosing to pretend she hasn’t slept with men rather than deal…

A lesbian identified woman in 1997 concealing a past where she fooled around with guys experimentally isn’t exactly unrealistic though.

He’s not trying to explain women to anyone. He’s a man trying to explain to other men how their own insecurities fuck them over when it comes to relationships.

It’s interesting Clover saw it this way, because I always saw the inclusion of Alyssa’s girlfriend in the last scene as a very clear indication that Alyssa and Holden are over. They could have really loved each other, but he was a giant manbaby about her past and she doesn’t trust him to *ever* get over it, so yeah.…

I heard they went on to say that Iraqis must have done it and we need to depose Saddam Hussein immediately because we’ve located WMDs in and around Tikrit and Baghdad, if you needed more proof that they were absolutely disconnected from reality.

Honest question: why shouldn’t he be allowed to work with high school or college kids? I’m not aware of any allegations of child abuse in his past. He completed court-supervised counseling. Remember, he and his fiancée were both charged with with assault and public intoxication that night, even as ghastly as the…

There’s a really weird disconnect going on with people who think we need prison and sentencing reform but also want to see a whole bunch of new zero tolerance policies applied to offenders forever.

Moyes will be punished by being forced to sign an extension to manage Sunderland.

Sweet Jeebus, could you imagine if the NFL encouraged fans to report infractions as they were happening on the field, and then those infractions would be enforced? Holy shitballs, that would be a cosmic clusterfuck. But...I kind of also want to see it.

I think he’s burdened by the stink of a franchise that has been mired in dysfunction for longer than he’s been alive.

Deadspin’s continued hate for Sam Hinkie is one of the weirdest things. I’m a Bulls fan and I would trade the Bulls roster for the Hinkie-built Sixers one in a heartbeat. I think most other fans of mediocre-to-bad teams would say the same.

Love how you guys act like The Process didn’t pay off. Saric is really damn good. With the exception of some injuries Embiid has the potential to rock the league. Next year they add Ben Simmons and they have that great draft swap with Sacramento. Yeah it hurt, but trust the process.

I think penetrating someone with a toy when they’re expecting a penis is wrong. And I know a transman who did this. He didn’t disclose, penetrated her in the dark with a strap on, she found out later and was very upset because she wouldn’t have had sex with him if she had known he was trans and using a toy. I’m…
