Thank you for remaining laser-focused on sports. 

Given today’s news, I wanted to voice my appreciation for this post that is decidedly not about sports.

Somebody better save all of Dave’s writing about Trump off of here before G/O disappears Deadspin

Just a PSA to the Trump-loving trolls that are probably coming: you’re all fucking stupid.

Please tell me Jimmy Dolan was eating at Brother Jimmy’s.

I am a very happy subscriber, The Athletic content is outstanding. I hope they do manage to breakthrough.

“50th Consecutive Jets First Round Draft Pick is Determined to Bust.”

Really, you just need to look at his background to see where this stuff comes from:

[me, the first 113 seconds of the video]: YES! YES!!! Finally, the unthinkable idea I’ve been advocating for years has gone mainstream and is on its way to becoming reality!!!

Tenant: Pope Thrower

On my laptop the left shift key died, and it took about two weeks for me to awkwardly retrain myself to use the right one at all times.

The whole piece is bizarrely salty. It reads like it was written by Zion’s uncle or something. Zion didn’t attack after a pick and roll and passed RJ the ball on a must score possesion. RJ missed a pretty good look. With very little time left after the out of bounds, RJ attacked and drew a foul. Doing so in that…

And Michigan State certainly deserves credit

It’s pretty hard not to read that as working in private equity makes you a ghoul. 

This would be a devastating blow if they hadn’t already addressed it and evolved as a company and a brand while long-term writers like Drew and Barry have apologized for Deadspin’s past (and their own on this site) and jumped aboard the “don’t write like an asshat” train.

And yet no one is scrambling to abandon the Deadspin brand because brands are helpful and important.Deadspin has made concerted efforts to shift away from misogyny over the last 8 years.

I THINK Drew’s idea here was that Barstool attracts Trump loving types, so telling it’s fans that it’s funded by a Hillary supporter (and not just supporter, but financial donor) would make them go “hey, wait.”

Yes god forbid a smaller market get a good player

Since the Manfred presser, the (correct) hot take has been “owners are evil for not spending enough money to try and win,” and you’re opening with “let’s turn MLB into the NBA, and have all the great players go to the biggest teams?”
