I would like a Rogue Squadron style thing yes please.

Look, it’s not what’s it’s cracked up to be. Being good at baseball means being able to master the skill of doing athletic things the exact same way every time with no variation. Your hands must be in the exact same place, you have to turn your hips the exact same way, you must throw the ball with the exact same

I had to buy this year’s Madden because they finally figured out how to implement RPOs like we see in the NFL on their tight development schedule. You know, the working conditions for the folks making those games is reall.... you know, that’s not really very sports-y of a discussion.

Love this site, and what’s happening to you and Deadspin and what will probably happen to all the other sites especially Jezebel is a disgrace. 

This was always my second favorite Gawker site after Deadspin, and since they disabled comments over there and I have a feeling they’ll be coming for you all too since this site has so much awful awful dreadful politics on it, I just wanna say how wonderful what you’ve done for all these years is, and how amazing it’s

The framing on that tweet is kinda bullshit. I doubt they pulled the ad campaign over the posts, they pulled it because someone up the food chain at Farmers realized that Spanfeller’s Merry Bunch of 60 Year Old White FailDads sold them a load of goods and was using decade old horseshit scam tricks to meet numbers.

What’s the cut off for something being classic rock versus old shit that’s still pretty good? Like, we’re still allowed to listen to Lou Reed and Nick Cave without being a dork right?

Adblooooooooock

I think the Rams did considerable damage to their brand moving to Anaheim in the 80s in the first place, but then moving to St Louis was just a disaster. They DID have a ton of long time fans who just felt betrayed in a way nobody really felt when the Raiders moved. You can only be so upset when a team you stole from

The Rams moving made sense. As up and down as their attendance can sometimes be, St. Louis failed to properly support two different NFL franchises, and the only reason the Rams ever moved there is the city bribed the widow of the Rams last broke dick LA owner. The Rams have work to do, but they’ll get there.

“I don’t think there’s any evidence that they have done so...”

I think it’s maybe possible that we always graded NXT on a curve that has been blown up now that there’s an Actually Good wrestling show on TV that looks like it costs more than a buck fifty to produce.

And hey, Paul Johnson won an ACC title for Georgia Tech and almost beat FSU during their Jameis run if memory serves. There’s a lot worse you could be. 

The funniest thing is he wasn’t even all that good the first time.

They were just ahead of the curve by facilitating a more exciting TV product at the expense of stadium experience while also providing better value to tax payers.

Baseball sucks now, but it’s not because analytics made teams more streamlined in trying to find the best way to win. It’s because all the faux retro ballparks are bandboxes and because the balls are juiced to shit. Why on earth would anyone try to manufacture runs or sign guys with (super exciting) speed that can

That’s a misnomer places use to fight unionization. “But aren’t we good to you, why do you want to have an adversarial relationship?” Being in a union isn’t about hating your bosses, it’s about having the power to make decisions along with your bosses, regardless of who they may be. Individual bosses come and go, but

Bill Connelly said this on Twitter, but the guy has a career winning percentage (48%) that’s just 10 points higher than Steve Spurrier’s (38%). Steve Spurrier worked 6 hours a day. Now you tell me who was the better coach.

Alright, so which one of the white dudes the Listicle Boss hired was having sex in the bathroom at G/O media HQ

He also proved definitively 20 years before people even started having the argument that spread offenses were probably better. The whole knock on spreads for years was “well you can’t run the ball when you need to” and Barry was putting up 1500+ yard seasons with no QB but with 3-4 WR sets almost every down.
