It’s long been a term in the Casino biz for “high rollers.” So in this case I assume they mean a big spender.

Fuck you

Right. Because it was conspiracy of American terrorists to make a crane collapse on the Grand Mosque.

Nice false equivalency. Both are tragic but they aren’t the same.

Played college ball and I remember the Coach saying on 9/11 this is where we get better and didn’t cancel practice (California). All the other teams have gone home, here’s where we get better. We didn’t get better.

But John Terry really is a cunt.

This article could not be a bigger, more petulant, wet blanket. I voted against him twice (yes, it was a vote against him), and obviously don’t view his presidency favorably. But he was awesome in the few months following 9/11, and this moment was a highlight (when I/we still needed one) that still gives me chills.…

Can someone link me to Deadspin’s article each time President Obama does his NCAA bracket on SportsCenter?

I'm just wondering if somewhere there's a guy with a story about buying cheap softcore porn and finding out it was actually X-men Legends.

Well at least the Steelers have one person good at kicking.

We don’t care... It’s fun to see the rest of the NFL so paranoid while we’re just lining up Gronk unmatched on the outside.

Nahh.....the Patriot centers are probably instructed to snap the ball the *instant* a D-lineman shifts on a goal line play and then Brady sneaks through the hole. “Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........they snapped the ball while our defense was still moving..........wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....she said she wanted to have…

“four straight SB losses”

This is complete bullshit. The Steelers scored a TD on the exact same shift by running a play into the just-vacated hole. Ben’s just pissed because the Patriots backup O-lineman played better than his backups.

I’ve been pretty happy with the relative rationality that Deadspin has used throughout this whole offseason in terms of all the various -gates and -ghazis, but come on. Unwritten rules? If this were against any other team you would be laughing at him and telling Big Ben to go tryout for the St Louis Cardinals.

This appears to fall under a disturbingly discoloured grey area.

I know the NFL rulebook is long and long-winded as fuck, but I did not expect to see the word “disconcert” in it. I interpret this to mean the inside linebackers can’t make eerie howling noises at the opposing center in the hope of making him shit all over himself and his quarterback’s hands.

I’m so tired of Ben Roethlisberger trying to shove his shit down people’s throats.

If the Pats really wanted to draw Big Ben offsides, all they needed to do was have their safety wear a short skirt.

“Maybe it’s just an unwritten rule.” Great, let’s make football more like baseball. We should check with Brian McCann to get final judgement on this.
