Is that the Philly homer line now, that Hinkie in his infinite wisdom wouldn’t have taken the consensus #1 best player at the time if he had an opportunity to get the #1 pick? After all, he was well-known for his ability to sniff out which draft picks would have recurrent long-term injuries.

If you’re 26 and don’t have kids, you don’t need a filing cabinet. Keep car-related documents in your glovebox, and stuff like credit card bills, medical records, 401k statements, tax returns, etc have all been available online for years in perfectly good form, there’s really no reason to horde stuff like that. A…

The point is that choosing to do a show in which it’s really fucking obvious the lengths they’re going to to try to carefully micromanage and groom their public images is the kind of thing that screams inauthenticity and carefully manipulated public images. Deadspin wants athletes to get their money and also just be…

I am not a supporter of President Trump or his policies but

If anyone wants a get-rich-quick scheme, just write a book on how to become a successful author of self-help books.

Leicester are now in that pack of solidly upper-midtable clubs that should never have to worry about a real relegation scrap but also can only dream about challenging for the European places.

I don’t know how any developer can be working on an online pvp-enabled mode and not consider “how does the game deal with trolls just stalking and killing someone over and over and over and ruining their experience”. If you don’t have an answer for that, well, your game is just going to have everyone not in that…

There’s an argument to be made that the illegal status of the work is more harmful than not overall, but if you think legalization means these incredibly sketchy illegal brothel owners will start giving their former slaves properly-tracked wages, health insurance, and days off, you’re out of your mind. These will…

Unfortunately, they’ve been taking Fortnite advice from Phil Jackson, so they always drop at three different places equidistant from each other.

I’m pretty sure Pool Boys is in the Deadspin style guide at this point, next to ‘Tics.

Life’s just so unfair for white people, isn’t it?

Not that it makes Kuchar’s logic any better, but I would suspect local caddies at golf courses in Mexico make...considerably less than $200 a day.

They did already buy Pulisic. Not that Sarri is likely ever going to get to coach  him.

The organization wasn’t worthy of Anthony Davis; definitionally, it is not worthy of receiving a trade package equal to his value. Take what you can get in exchange for the guy you alienated, scrubs!

An eventual free agent baseball contract might be worth more and would be fully guaranteed. In order to get to that point, though, there’s six years of low-cost team control, the first few at well below a million a year and probably featuring minor-league ball that not everyone gets out of. Meanwhile, just so much as…

Pretty sure the last spot was Aldridge, not Westbrook.

There’s no difference in those two scenarios when it comes to FIFA’s international eligibility rules.

If you’d rather be the Knicks and constantly be looking five years ahead for a timeline to even make the playoffs rather than the Nuggets or Bucks, you do you, man. Giving away the only talent on the roster for peanuts and then trying to convince people actually trying to be a playoff team is a bad idea isn’t very…

more than enough assets to potentially make a serious trade offer for Anthony Davis

Other teams don’t think he’s necessarily going to follow through with that threat. Paul George did the exact same thing, insisted anybody trading for him in Indiana would only be getting a one-year rental because he was 100% going to LA as a free agent next year. OKC rolled the dice anyway and it turned out George…
