It’s difficult to get too worked up over this shit when the team is too shitty at almost every position to really be competitive.

This may not seem like a huge deal given that the Jags are 3-6 and the Ravens are 2-7

hot takers out here truthering poop-swastika police reports

3 of the 4 features on the main Deadspin page right now are jokes about the GOP Primary. That’s remarkably boring.

I love the Wizards. They’re like the exceptions to the DC sports mess.

Over under on Grantland writers poached by Deadspin?

When did the Funbag move from the Concourse to Adequateman?

Nah—there isn’t really a problem with the market, just with management. Moving the team won’t change that, it will just potentially poison another market. Plus, the NHL is probably much more interested in bringing Seattle into the League via expansion rather than relocation to get that sweet, sweet expansion fee.

Good to know my nation’s foreign policy was in the hands of a Palpatine fanboy.

Oh, and now AB InBEV is being investigated for trying to manipulate distribution channels and crowd out independent craft breweries

The joke is that he can barely play the role of one who deserves $5.8M.

We care so much about the President because Congress has slowly ceded most of its governing power to the Executive, and efforts to retake the power are consistently shot down by sort-sighted partisans.

“Goddammit, Edmonton”

I would have to do actual research to be able to answer that with any level of specificity, but the fact that takeout slides are not uncommon in baseball (even if this one was particularly egregious) suggests the answer is “no.”

Just . . . no.

If you go into the responses to Marchman’s claim that consent was given, there are dozens of comments embedding a tweet from the alleged victim’s ostensible Twitter account in which she says she was never asked for consent.

It’s fun, and far more exciting than the shootout, but I don’t know how long that will last. 3-on-3 to date has looked like kids playing in the backyard pond—some coach is going to eventually figure out a way to bring a bit more structure and discipline to the format.

Let’s not get caught up in irrelevant details here. Publishing the video of an alleged sexual assault victim’s police interview is deplorable no matter the alleged victim’s age.
