What’s the staff going to say? The decision to post it or not was apparently controversial within the editorial ranks before it went up so for a given member of the editorial staff, they were either for it or against it. If they were against posting it, they’ll just re-iterate the reasons everyone else has already…

Wasn’t the underlying issue pretty well addressed by Denton’s post about taking the thing down?

Choosing to put the post up and choosing to take the post down are two separate issues and can be discussed as such by intellectually capable people.

I can’t tell if this post is serious. I tend to read basically everything on Grantland, even if I’m not super interested in the topic, but Hyden seems pretty awful. I think its partially because its impossible to be a music critic without sounding like an asshole, but I think the other part is that he just sucks.

When do we offically switch the bulk of our sports coverage hate to Fox instead of ESPN?

Its free in the sense that there’s no additional cost for taking it. Your argument seems to be that its not free because you’re working for it, but its not like you can opt to not take it and then work less.

I don’t think Drew is giving enough weight to the barefoot part of that question. With all of the battles for balls, jumping, and sliding, there’s gonna be a couple of foot injuries on the MLS side (perhaps intentional ones if the USWNT is smart). And nobody is going to play the same way when feet are getting wrecked…

His most recognizable characteristic is his moustashe.

Adam Silver will have DJ’s agent killed.

Toy Story 3 lacked Wall-E’s inventiveness. Up was a fantastic opening followed by a mediocre movie.

I saw the headline and tried to think of any reason anyone would hate air conditioning. I got nothing.

I always buy the good stuff, but anyone who actually voices a hot dog preference can get the fuck outta my cookout.

Origin really isn’t any worse than Steam, its main flaw is being second to the party. Uplay on the other hand, that thing is straight up garbage.

Yeah! And Gmail launched in 2009!

“It isn’t sexism to question Leroux’s megawatt eyelashes anymore than it is to question LeBron’s ever-changing hairline and thickness”

I wonder if there’s still much of a market for RTSs. I have a feeling that Blizz is putting out the 3rd part of Starcraft 2 more because they’re already committed to it than because of demand for the genre.

“Why do I need to endure another five minutes to watch all of the credits for some 30- to 60-second clip that I can just watch on YouTube?”

Top level SC2 play is the most riveting stuff on Twitch. I honestly struggle to understand how its possible to be in control of so much, so quickly and accurately. Macro level army and base planning, modified per map, futher modified by needing to react to what you’re opponent is doing, and then micro level drop…

Who rinses bottlecaps?

I thought this appeal didn’t matter and we were all just waiting for the followup lawsuit?
