Prior to the last encounter, his shit was gross and inexcusable and illegal, but not a safety threat. People, especially women, have to balance that shit to make a living all the time. It’s like asking why people go back to work for an abusive boss. People have to eat and pay rent, and bills don’t wait while you…

Seems like you read almost as well as AB writes.

Discipline the schools would ultimately have to enforce. Which would be illegal. So either the NCAA changes, or it loses every school in the most populous state in the country.

Spanfeller, what’s good?

That’s the great thing about deadspin. All of us dork-ass nerds read all the way to the last paragraph and just quietly resented Redford instead.

If the Raiders did want to drag this out, they could maybe look into the fact that California is a two-party consent state, 

Wait, how did the last one go from deadspin in the body to forbes in the subject?

Always disappointed when Bob Carpenter doesn’t switch up his call to “See you tomorrow!” for walk-offs.

I wish you knew how embarrassing this is for you.

bring back the sock puppets! And also Jorge.

ham is trash meat for children. bologna but worse

Most states had already legalized it before then. NY in 2011.

I was shocked by the lack of evidence in a google image search, but obviously Strasburg.

C’mon, the definitive piece is homegrown and has no paywall:

Every day for 9 years, and the idea of not reading it anymore is terrifying. The sports is the least important part. Like, I don’t give a shit about basketball, but I love Burneko’s beautiful, fucked up brain. It’s already so hard keeping track of the GM diaspora as it is.

That’s a relief. I’m going to be heartbroken if they try to turn this into a native content mill and force you to do what Greenwell’s doing. You really have built something special here.

Beyond the handbook nonsense, is G/O putting the same kind of pressure on you as they are in the deadspin/Greenwell situation? The contempt Spanfeller showed for editorial independence in his intro letter was scary enough, but now it’s feeling apocalyptic.

*several molars crack*

People get so hung up on the dictionary definition, but he doesn’t need to actually, personally know X is false for it to be a lie. Asserting that X is true without any reason to believe it’s true is a lie in itself.

I think he’s trying to use state as in “state of being.”
