As a loyal Deadspin reader (which is to say, don’t take this as a complaint about the content around here), it’s probably a good thing when your team is not covered by Deadspin, since they tend to focus on the incompetent and the hateable. It was a completely competant and well done coaching move, and Nebraska hasn’t…

My honest guess is that the committee knew that whoever got that fourth slot was playing Clemson, and it came down to the fact that Alabama played Clemson pretty tight the last two years, while Ohio State got their asses handed to them by Clemson a year ago. It’s probably not a fair criteria to use, but as long as my…

36 year old with one kid, and I can assure you that the Christmas morning wake and bake still happens at my house. (After staying out late to sing at church on Christmas eve and getting a total of four hours of quality sleep, it’s honestly the only way that I don’t end up acting like a moody zombie all day.)

Tay Anderson is a name to watch, for what it’s worth. He’s 19, and the former student body president at Manual High School, Denver’s historically black high school. After seeing how the school had suffered after being jerked around by the school board for the last 25 years, he decided to run for school board, and…

Two seasons ago, the names on the back were in a font resembling comic sans. Now the damned diagonal stripes. It’s like they have someone on the uniform committee who intentionally finds ways to fuck up an otherwise classic look.

Yeah, my grandmother (white lady from Texas) never put flour in hers, but even though it’s 100% gluten free, you would never think to describe it as such.

I’ve always referred to this tactic as “the nuclear option.” It was always impressive when my otherwise quiet Mennonite grandmother would wield it at my windbag uncle when he got out of line at the dinner table.

My favorite part was this:

I worked one summer as an intern at a District Attorney’s office, where they were working on a few high school party sex assault cases. I’ve seen the texts that a victim can receive from friends when they first start thinking about reporting the incident. And they are ugly. Even best friends telling them to get over…

You know what week it is, right? Anyone sitting at their desk for the next three days who claims that they are too busy to watch a football roll slowly down a field or ten minutes of grown men in body suits sliding down stairs is a liar.

I will say that I probably had more fun at the game yesterday than I have had at Mile High in a few years. When everyone knows going in that we have to get a few bounces to go our way to beat a bad Bengals team, it really reduces the stress in the stands. People were generally cool, the one Bengals fan a few rows up…

Oh, it’s all going to seem quaint next week when the War to take back Christmas starts in earnest.

This is literally the second paragraph of his professional bio on his firm’s website:

Yeah, my three-year-old was introduced to the Funhouse by Oma, and occasionally asks for Mickey Mouse or Goofy. So I show her the classics. (I was particularly enamored with “How to Golf,” which ends with Goofy, the incarnate silhouette of an ideal golf swing, and a bull getting drunk at the golf club’s bar.) 

What the fuck you talking about?

The problem has been that the Broncos offense is so bad that other teams simply don’t have to risk turning the ball over any more. You can have the best corners and pass rusher in the game, but if the other team can do quick, safe check-downs to the tight end all game and know it will probably still outscore your…

The last time I shared a bed with my then two-and-a-half year old daughter was an absolute nightmare. She managed to spend most of the night perpendicular to me, with her feet digging into my ribs. She spent the rest of that vacation sleeping on a pile of pillows and folded blankets on the floor.

After my first semester of law school finals, we had a big blow-out at someone’s house, which eventually deteriorated into flip cup. Terry, a second-career aspiring patent lawyer (which is to say, even in the sea of weirdos that is law school, a real weirdo) with a couple of kids, showed up, and wanted to play. First…

At least it’s keeping him too busy to try to run for governor? (That and the likely chance that he has a few DUI near-misses and sketchy encounters with women at Denver bars that would likely come out if he ever did run.)

That’s a story in and of itself. The Broncos traded up a few picks to grab Lynch, only because they knew the Cowboys were trying to do the same thing. So after Jerry got aced out for Lynch, he ended up picking up Dak in the third round.
