With all due respect to David, I think this is the tiebreaker in the long-time “which seminal Stephen A. Smith satire tweet is better?” debate. He literally did this one. It’s over.

I find it pretty despicable that Deadspin would have the nerve to point out The Athletic’s censorship in this scenario. It was only a month ago on this very site that I tried to comment on my fantasy football team only to find comments were closed. But sure, The Athletic is the asshole.

Thanks. I feel like an implied rule of internet commenting is that if you make somebody read more than two sentences, there’d better be a joke in there.

every publication can (and frankly should) moderate its comments to keep out bigots and trolls, if only as a courtesy to readers.

Interesting, in that all these guys suck.

I will never not star a Walk Hard reference.

I dunno. It’s not quite as clearly defined as you might think. I’m 46 and I feel completely comfortable with the term, and so do friends of mine (age range 21-60). Like many others, I do have vivid memories of it being used as a derogatory term. But just like a few other terms once frequently used by people on the…

I am a gay man in my 20s and I do not refer to myself as “queer,” and would consider it offensive if someone referred to me as such.

I don’t think they’re asking for every game to do this, but I do think there are plenty of interesting opportunities for such a system in a game designed around it. Sure, it might not be loved by everybody (and I’m somebody who tends to reload the moment my clip is empty) but I think the people who are looking for it…

I’ve experienced this divide. I’m in my early 30's and none of my gay friends refer to themselves as queer - myself included. Perhaps it has to do with it having always been an offensive term growing up or that it doesn’t feel like it speaks to my experience as a gay man, but the kids seem to really identify with it,…

Yeah, I can see why it isn’t in games, but just seems kinda funny since we’re all about realism until we’re not.  Like people will complain about guns not being realistic, but completely ignore ammo.

The question now becomes: What is Congress gonna do about it?

Power rankings, which remain analytics for people who can’t count and don’t intend to start learning now,

Luke-warm take: It’s ok to be annoyed if a guy refuses to shake your hand before the game.

but ... but ... but since 2001 they also “have 25 more non-division victories than any other team.”

This is not how the world works.

One of the things that’s super troubling about this is Maven basically saying, “the entrepreneurs get to post on Maven digital platforms” which is really fancy for “you’ll get exposure.” But, the whole myth of “exposure” is you do it long enough to catch the eye of a top level company in your industry LIKE Sports…

I thought Prue was especially nasty this week. What’s up with her and blueberries??

A Freeze movie could actually be really good. Victor Fries fights evil pharmaceutical interests to save his wife’s life.

Its entirely possible to cover the streamers and companies in a way that isnt like TMZ. You could start with reading this article for instance
