There’s a lot of Football Drama I just don’t get. The dialogue can be overly poetic or inscrutable, and there are occasionally weird turns of phrase, like the press saying “we will storm your remarks on social media.” I wondered whether the latter was a translation issue or a poetic commentary on Twitter.

It seems slightly not as horrendous on Firefox compared to Chrome.

I get this argument, which recently came up when Liverpool fans walked out to protest ticket prices. That said, a simply lowly-attended MLS match would have received a fraction (if that) of the coverage that this action has garnered, so I still admire Sounders fans who did this.

The lower seam appears to affect certain grips for a number of pitchers, not everyone to the same degree. Anecdotal evidence suggests that Edwin Diaz, for one, lost command of his slider, but lots of pitchers still throw that pitch. And aside from movement the average velocity has increased pretty much every year for

It’s not bullshit or a difficult concept. Before this silly rabbit ball, contact made with an uppercut swing would be a deep flyball or warning track shot; now that the ball travels farther, those clear the fence.

Along with these Disruption Ideas that Sawchik creduously passed along, he also holds up La Masia, Barcelona’s academy, as the optimal model for efficient player development, while curiously eliding the part that those academy prospects play proper competitive matches against other clubs’ academies, and that they

Of the myriad ways MLBPA shot themselves in the dick, agreeing to a salary cap was by far the most egregious. Management simply learned to read the fine print and ruthlessly pursue maximum returns based on the rules that govern the sport.

Sick-burn of a conjecture, there. I’m not hinting at any BUT IT’S NOT FAIR FOR THE BOYS, cheekily or otherwise. Rather, upon reading this article I did what seems rather natural, i.e. to recall my own high school experience from 20 years ago, after which the thought occurred to me that Shit, the way it was set up then

This got me thinking about my high school, which had the usual sports for boys and girls (basketball, soccer, baseball/softball, etc.); football, which was theoretically open to all; and volleyball and field hockey, which were only for girls.

Language!

“No government handouts! And where’s our farm subsidy?”

Why do US media outlets call the national team “Team USA” but just the name of the country for everyone else?

What is it about processed foods that make it more appealing to people with that condition?

What was the justification for that?

I’ve been worried about Barry and Ley, especially, the two editors who (IMO) truly embody and shape the Deadspin Voice. Drew obviously is the biggest star, a GLORY BOY, but his distinct writing will always be around, if not here then elsewhere.

Problem was not that the all-black caps and jerseys did not look good; in a vacuum they are attractive. The beef here is that famous, distinct identities that Yankees, Dodgers, Cubs, Braves, A’s, et al have developed over the last century-plus were rendered entirely interchangeable by the very suits whose job it is to

Go on American TV and call NFL "American football."

No Beavis and Butthead?
