I would love for you to be wrong too, but I suspect you’re not wrong about your first paragraph. All these hand-wringing republicans are fond of saying that if he fires Mueller it would “cause a constitutional crisis” in a way that makes clear they think said crisis would just happen on its own when, in fact, the only…

I’m reasonably sympathetic to the position these folks are in; they want to report local news/sports/weather and Sinclair is probably either the only game in town or one of two or whatever. Maybe they have aspirations of moving up in the TV news world, or maybe they love their hometown and want to keep its people…

Is it me you’re looking for?

He’s 6'8” with a 7'3" wingspan and is to my eye at least as graceful as almost any other basketball player, though the last one’s subjective. I haven’t watched enough to know how good a jumper he is; he didn’t have his vertical measured for the draft; Giri says he can “occasionally surprise” in that department.

On 37 attempts, the league average would be to miss 8.6, so them missing 9 in last night’s game is not a great example for what may in general be a good point, I don’t know. If they’d shot at the same 87.5% clip as GS they’d have theoretically tied, but that’s an awfully high percentage to expect from them.

this very cool many-skip shot was ... not in either of the videos in your earlier comment ... but it’s very cool and good

Indeed at 0:17 you can see the entire lake for an instant. There are five rings on the water. This is a five-skip shot.

This being a matter of utmost importance I must disagree. I see the last one close to shore. And I see how the graphic could have obscured a first skip, but if so I would expect to see a splash and/or ripples which I do not see. I maintain it was five.

huh. you said ‘really’ twice and i was dumb and missed it.

Other than Vijay’s shot, which was a very cool three-skipper, all the rest of the above are one-skippers as far as I can tell. JMO’s skipped five times, and tricked the headline writer into thinking it was six.

“by far” is an idiomatic phrase

are you not also deeply disappointed in yourself for making a joke in the comments that was literally already in the article?

glad to see that the tastemakers who think hating bud light makes you a ‘beer snob’ have also checked in

I can’t believe how many times I’ve watched this for sole purpose of making sure that you’re wrong about the number of skips, which I’m pretty sure you are.

I’d love to weigh in on whether Roseanne is Good and Provocative or Bad and Hateful, but I’m far too busy never watching that boring-ass shit that was profoundly unfunny and annoying the first time

That was David Frum.

[backs slowly away]

it’s hard to assess which would make you a more terrible person - meaning this sincerely or typing out and hitting publish on this garbage comment as a ‘joke’

This is a good blog post. It is fun to imagine this play being blogged about on a Wednesday instead, though - the headline would be something like Let Us Unite In Disdain Of Corey Brewer’s Terrible Defense. In general I enjoy how when the weekend hits deadspin dot com switches from…
