Why is the site named “Deadspin”?

I figure it’s probably a good to examine all the factors that contribute to a death, rather than limit everyone to choosing only one (e.g., “drunk asshole deserved it”). That way, we might discover more than one way to prevent more senseless deaths in the future.

Apparently, you missed this part of my comment:

I wonder how tall the railing was? Apparently, the International Building Code allows the railing height in front of rows of seats to be as low as 26 inches. (The minimum is higher — 42 inches — at the base of aisles.) If this guy fell over a 26 inch railing, that’s pretty low - especially if he’s a…

Don’t just ban them. Melt them!

Actually, after today, I’m starting to think that the greatest American footballer of all time may be Michael Bradley.

By the way, I realize that the facts I quoted above from ESPN are also reported in the post above, but they weren’t there earlier. Deadspin has been made a few updates and additions since I posted this comment.

But it looks like he really won’t be going anywhere until next winter. He said he’ll step down when his successor is elected, and here’s the latest word on the timing of that:

—“Can’t say anything right now.”

For months, my daughter was addicted to "Stampy" Minecraft videos. The guy posts one a day, I think, on Youtube, but there was an archive of them stretching back over a year by the time she discovered him, so she could just binge on those videos all day long.

Shanahan has done nothing but point fingers since he left. In that 90 minute interview, he never once took personal responsibility for any of the failings of his Redskins tenure. It was all other peoples' fault.

I agree about the "mechanics and decision making" part, though. He definitely has work to do.

That was the point of Dan Steinberg's tweet above: he's saying that Shanahan has obviously been the anonymous source shit-talking RG3 in all those stories.

Except all the things you're reading about him that sound arrogant and unclassy are coming from Shanahan, a very bitter man who apparently blames Griffin for his own failings as the Redskins head coach. He's been planting these nasty little tidbits (usually in the form of anoymous quotes) in Redskins reporters'…

The point of Dan Steinberg's tweet at the end there — in case it's not clear to those who haven't been following all the Redskins coverage that closely in the past few years — is that Shanahan is obviously the source of most (if not all) of the anonymous shit-talking quotes contain all those RG3-bashing stories and…

So I guess I should stop posting this now?

It makes it seem less signficant to say "two fumbles per season," but we're looking at data spanning five whole seasons. So this isn't a one season disparity, it's the average disparity over a five-year period. In that context, it become quite significant.

But looking at number of fumbles per season isn't as meaningful, because some teams run a lot more offensive plays the other teams do during the course of the season. And the Patriots, being an offensive powerhouse, run a lot more plays per game (and hence, per season) than the teams to. That's why "offensive plays…
