They don’t talk about it much, but very few of those Bud bottles get adopted after the game. A lot of them were put down.

The true Wentz is more nuanced and complicated, with sources describing him as “selfish,” “uncompromising,” “egotistical,” one who plays “favorites” and doesn’t like to be “questioned,” one who needs to “practice what he preaches” and fails “to take accountability.”

I grew up outside of Philly and I hate the fucking Eagles, man.

And why does it have to be people playing football? Why can’t it be dogs?

People want replay because they can’t live with the perceived unfairness of their team doing everything right (or at least doing enough right to win), and having success taken from them arbitrarily from a third-party. And yet, many of these same people will vote for Republicans. 

Ray Ratto thinks every time a team wants a play reviewed, it should have to pay $1 million in cash on the spot to a local charity, or take the call it got and shut up about it.

You’ll always have the best first kinja of any Deadspin staffer, Megan. Best of luck.

It started with her saying it’d be a nice thing for me to do for her going-away.

My three year old was asking me about sports team mascots recently and mentioned elephants and I said, “No, there’s not elephant teams.” And like 4 questions later I remembered the A’s and was like, “WAIT. LET’S GO BACK TO THE ELEPHANT THING.”

Good effort, Barry. I’ll give this blog a B-plus. But, honestly, if you’d just delete it altogether, it would be an A’s-minus.

Stick to politics, Barry. Nobody wants to read about a team that wasn’t good enough for Philly or KC.

The A’s home whites are one of the nicest uniforms in baseball.

Harris, Biden, and Buttigeig all have exactly zero plans or ideas for Climate Change that doesn’t involve more than lip service. Biden just wants to attach us to a bunch of resolutions again, without passing any legislature. Harris, until recently, wasn’t even that interested in discussing it as a political strategy. h…

It’s only been six months? Bioware managed to cram in a solid two years of disappointment in six months. That’s efficiency in game design right there.

Dems also don’t want to talk about gun control, because they need them to shoot their feet with.

Missed the WYTS deadline for this year, but four weeks ago the corporate entity that I pretend to work at while they pay me a meager wage decided to bring in a celebrity speaker to get us excited about filling out our TPS reports. Being Chicago, they hired Mike Ditka. After a painful incoherant 15 minute speech, that…

The man was the .gif that keeps on .giffing.

I know Jay is not on the team anymore but I love this gif too much not to post it here.

Many people are saying he’s the best kicker. You hear it more and more.
