The damage caused by Roger Ailes is truly breathtaking in its impact and scope. Professionally, he was a proto-Rove Richard Nixon accomplice and enabler who went on to found the most powerful and pervasive propaganda network in modern history, which was profoundly responsible for training millions to disregard…

It’s not! Here’s a link; hopefully they won’t change it, but it’s been up like that for most of the afternoon by now.

It’s honestly hard to decipher what your point is - are you arguing that Deadspin should never criticize a public figure like Berman, because he’s a human and has loved ones would could tragically die someday for reasons entirely unrelated to the site’s criticism of him? Or are you arguing that they should ridicule…

Hi from Florida! Currently our delegation probably can’t compete with others of these: Marco Rubio is a spineless weasel and who barely shows up for work and has been running for president, in word or deed, almost literally the entire time he’s been in office, but Bill Nelson is a perfectly tolerable - if uninspiring…

I’m also a Mets fan for the same reason, and I’ll never stop asking myself the same questions. My dad still watches every single minute of every single game, no matter how bad it gets. I can tolerate significantly less.

Yeah, I don’t think Dom means they’ve been hunting for the literal second coming of Joe Namath in terms of play, talent or production. I think the phrase “search for Joe Namath’s replacement” just refers to the team not having a stable long-term starter at the position during most or all of the time since Namath…

That is my favorite, too, but I do also appreciate this nugget:

One difference is that “not guilty” as opposed to “innocent” reflects the fact that the burden is on the state. When a jury retires to deliberate in a criminal case, they are not deciding whether the evidence proves the defendant is innocent, but rather whether the prosecution has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that…

Rosen goes through the list of who is to blame for the Knicks’ dismal season: Knicks fans, because they love Melo even when he stinks and supposedly won’t tolerate a rebuild;

too many urban types

I was happy about this at first, but the more I think about it, I’m going to miss having the inexplicable ramblings of Phil Simms as part of my Sunday routine. Trying to figure out what the fuck he was talking about was a great way to pass the time with friends during replay reviews, commercials and the other 10,000…

this needs more stars. it has mine.

Eh, there’s no expectation of privacy here, and I’d argue this crossed over from an amusing occurrence to actual news when security came to talk her down for her rowdy cursing the first time and she didn’t stop, apparently in their view requiring two more visits, even after which she kept at it. She’s not just any…

Nah, podcasts are good. If you’re relying on them as a source of information - pure, who/what/when/why facts about the world - then you’re using them wrong. They shouldn’t replace reading; they’re an entirely different medium. What good podcasts are great for is discussion. Multiple well-informed people not just…

No, you were just casting aspersions on others for articulating that criticism by suggesting they were acting out of partisan bias against Tebow rather than, you know, the fact that his career is at this point and has for some time been “a spectacle, a money grab, or a waste of time. ... a joke.”

I still can’t understand the vitriol this man inspires in the left-wing circles of sports analysis.

lol I never even noticed that, but I just checked and it wasn’t a copy/paste fuckup. He legit used the not-word “aliented.”

GAH those eyes! He’s staring through my soul!
