Clearly you are a self-hating black man that either isn't intelligent enough to recognize subtle racism, or has been conditioned not to care.

I've always viewed his criticism of Wall as a maturity thing, rather than a racial thing. Herd has been adamant that a rookie PG shouldn't be doing The Dougie before he's played an NBA minute.

I regret that he got stuck playing his brief career for an old crusty ass shithead like Tom Coughlin. Coach Coughlin's "doghouse" destroyed this kid's confidence, and probably led to more fumbles.

It's not a slight. Jordan was just better than those guys.

Yes, I think Kobe was the more fundamentally skilled basketball player. Better outside shooter. More refined game. I also think he genuinely loved basketball more than Jordan did.

I've been a Royals fan since the 80's because of Bo Jackson. Never lived in KC. I also started rooting for the Clippers in the 80's, even though I lived back east. Underdog fetish.

Right. Kobe outlasted all of the other post-Jordan wing players (Iverson, Vince Carter, T-Mac). He was still relevant until the achilles injury. Quite a career. Closest thing we've seen to Jordan.

I think that Kobe is probably a more talented basketball player that Jordan, but Jordan was a better athlete, competitor, and leader, which made him the better player.

He says he sleeps on an inflatable mattress that has a hole in it, which causes him to wake upside-down every morning.

Gool FM is the place to go for the hottest Michael Sam news.

Amazing speed and athleticism. But he was OUT.

Dude, don't bother. You won't be able to convince the typical effete Deadspin male that their view of women as helpless, blameless victims is patronizing at best, sexist at worst.

Aren't black males also second class citizens? How often are black males unduly punished because of a woman's accusation? Isn't there a famous novel about this that is required high school reading?

Victim? Not exactly. They were two adults (in a relationship) that were fighting.

Sure, why should accuracy matter? Deadspin only operates on the fringes of journalism, and "real" journalism is only partially concerned with accuracy anyway, so who gives a crap?

If he punched her, we should call it a punch. Except none of us knows.

We don't even know that it was a punch. All we know is that Ray Rice is a horrible person who should never be forgiven.

Jay Z had a bodyguard holding her back. Way to be full of shit, though.

What has the NFL done to shit on you?

Tragedy? LOL
