Surely we never stopped appreciating Leslie Nielson?

It’s unlikely given the “passed away peacefully in her sleep” line. Given her previous issues with paralysis it was more likely a brain or other nervous system issue.

I feel pretty confident I could have done the falling over part

Deadspin does too much traffic to get Splintered. The brilliant executives wouldn’t kill a blog like Deadspin. That’d be like killing your politics blog during a heated election cycle.

Remember when Tribusky was in the Pro Bowl last January? Did that really happen? Now his coach doesn’t even trust him to get 5 yards.

They deserve every bit of it and more.

Jalopnik EIC Patrick George was asking for feedback:

Cross-posting my at-game note from another thread:

Listen, I agree with the sentiment, but why do folks think the G/O dickwads are reading the comments at all? I’m hard pressed to believe they have even visited Deadspin, based on the ridiculous staff requirements that were leaked...

All this coverage on Deadspin of the Bears shitting themselves makes me feel like

I don’t even have to see the autoplay videos because I’ve fixed my browser. But I just locked my work computer and a notification is on the screensaver about the thing playing, with an option to pause.

Deadspin’s bosses, turn this ridiculous shit off, it’s not making you money and it’s pissing off all your readers…

I’m willing to forgive him because I imagine he was utterly stunned that it was a completion. The instant Rodgers threw it I was convinced he was throwing it away to avoid a sack, and even when Williams dove for it I assumed he landed well out of bounds. I suspect I was just one of many on both counts.

Football is a game with many problems, but it must be the best sport out there for showcasing the stupid great skill and athletic ability of these guys have in an extremely visceral “there is no fucking way I could do that” sort of way. Like, I intellectually know that doing anything useful against a 100 mph fastball…

Oh thank gods. It’s pushing 11:00 am Monday on the East Coast, and there was only one post. Ever since Splinter got abruptly taken out behind the barn, I get nervous about longs gaps like that.

The clip of him and Melanie realizing what’s happening makes me not have to drink as much tonight.

Obviously Trump got confused and meant to attend the W Nationalists rally down the street.
