Meh, I think most of it is just exposure as opposed to people deliberately caring that they’re Canadian. As a Blue Jays fan from Calgary, I think I just ended up a Jays fan because they are on TV everyday when I come home, lead Sportscentre all summer etc etc. I never thought to myself I’m going to cheer for the Jays…

For the auto-racing fans out there I think Greg Moore is a good comparable. Obviously some will debate racing as a sport, and its reach is a lot more limited than baseball, but for those of us who are racing fans it was a similar feeling of losing someone that young on a upwards trajectory who had the potential to be…

So you’re telling me “celly” is not a widespread term outside of the western Canadian hockey world

Why do you guys have to make me feel so damned guilty about my privileged upbringing

Want to buy some tickets? Ha, I have all the games and they are not selling like hot cakes

Yah, but if you fired all the managers who would read deadspin all day?

Let me re-phrase the Usain Bolt question. I am relatively confident he is the worlds most naturally gifted sprinter (even normalising for training, technique, vitamins). However is there any other gold medallist you are that confident about this being true for? If Lebron had spent his whole life training high jump…

You also cant have a left handed stick (?!?). All sticks have to be right handed by the rules

This is the most correct post in the history of deadspin. Every type of music is improved by horns and since we already have Ska & hip-hop covered in the comments I’ll throw this is

Im about to buy baseball tickets for tomorrow (Bal @ Tor). What’s the best value place to sit in a ballpark?

If you had to rank all 7 Billion people on earth in order of how much you would want to have sex with them, at what number do you reach the first person of the sex you are not typically attracted to and who is it? For me it is clearly Roger Federer and I think he cracks the top billion

Heard about this on the radio this morning driving in. Knew you guys would have me covered

I always wonder how or why “this guy” ends up reading this article in the first place to then end up in the comments. Also, how did he beat me out of the greys

14 embedded vines that are each a small funny moment, but collectively crashed my browser and pissed me off seems like a good metaphor for pets

Im fascinated by this and if it can go on forever (Its hard to imagine someone going under 9.59 in the 100m, but Im sure it will happen)? If you went back 100 years and gave a relatively high performing athlete the fitness and nutrition program of a modern athlete would that be the same as jacking a guy up on steroids…

Does anyone on staff believe in god? Everytime elections come around religion gets brought up (Pope/Trump etc) and I’m blown away by how many people out there are still religious in today’s world

I can imagine it’s hard to keep fresh, so I understand if it has to go, but “precious piss of disaster” will always be my favourite line ever on deadspin

This is also an excellent use of significant digits

Maybe its already happened without us even knowing, everyone in their early 20s might be getting their hot takes from somewhere on the darkweb!
