Starred for the general points about reading. Unstarred so I could star again for shitting on Ethan Frome.

It looks that way in your pic, but that screenshot is a fraction of a second after his foot first hits the ground. This one clearly shows foot touching, ball in hand. Not that I really care; it was still a cool play.

And he’s doing it on a pace of play significantly slower than Oscar played in.

He didn’t have a choice of where to sign in free agency, though. He signed his extension while still under contract, and even if he had tried to wait out the end of his rookie contract, the Browns could have franchise tagged him.

The NFL’s free agency system set up Thomas (and many other players like him) so that signing his current big-money deal was the only smart decision he could make. He signed his current deal with one season left on his rookie contract; if he had chosen to play out that season to get to a better team, then he would have…

Fuck, I cannot unsee that. But while Boromir nearly stole the One Ring and would have accidentally ensured Sauron’s victory and for darkness to rule over all of Middle Earth, that’s still way better than the “song” Bawitdaba.

Except you wouldn’t know. That was the point of “My real name.” The dumb law forces everyone to use the bathroom corresponding to the gender on their birth certificate. That means a trans person who was born with female on their birth certificate, but since had operations to transition to male sex organs (and who is…

The people of Xanshi would like to disagree with you. They can’t, of course, because they all died when John let their planet blow up.

One of the first descriptions of Shelob actually refers to her as “an evil thing in spider form.” It’s likely that the main reason she didn’t go out in the world was because Sauron made efforts to keep her happy in Cirith Ungol, including sacrificing his own soldiers to her, so she’d remain there as an unofficial…

He’s expected to clarify whether he has any actual thoughts in his brain or merely a series of hate-filled squirrels chasing each other around a darkened golf course.

? I was quoting the post you were replying to when claiming I moved the goalposts. At the time, that was my only post on this thread. But it doesn’t matter much; if we’re down to discussing post sequences, then the substantive debate has likely ceased.

Actually, I made it an either/or both times I mentioned race/racism.

I can easily be friends with people who do not share my views on Obamacare, or the TPP, or carbon tax, or any of a thousand opinions on which good people can have different views. But something as fundamental as looking down on an entire group of human beings because of their nationality or race? That is something…

He went to college at the University of Buffalo.

2003. I was into both Dave Matthews Band and the belief that Reggie Sanders could be my HR anchor. I finished 8th but deserved far, far worse.

I very rarely comment, but I’m a serial starrer of comments with very low standards. Does that make me a good or bad contributor to the comments sections of Gawker Media sites?

Here you go!

Thanks for everything, independent Deadspin, but thanks especially for Clark the Cub.

People are so enraged by this latest act of me-first, glory-boy team-building that Donald Trump is elected President of the United States.

Even without the whole Westbrook stinkeye/drunk text hypothetical, Draymond not kicking Adams’ dick and balls might still have kept KD in OKC. Without that dickballkick, he’s not at the flagrant threshold when he dickballtaps LeBron, doesn’t get the automatic suspension, Golden State likely wins in 5.
