Best pharm system in baseball.

I find it amusing that the MTV Video Music Awards, of all things, was the catalyst for this. This is a show hosted by a marginally relevant network, ostensibly devoted to a dying medium, that hands out “awards” based largely on what advertisers have focus-grouped to be the whims of people aged 12-23. I can understand…

+1 bratwurst, loaded with kraut

Fellow Madisonian. Preach.

The Wisconsin State Senate—the same legislative body imposing draconian cuts to the state’s University System out of ‘necessity’—had no problem coming up with a quarter of a billion dollars for this boondoggle. As a Wisconsinite, this kind of thing makes me livid. But even if you didn’t grow up here, you should still…

This is laughably wrong. Here are several reasons why:

Your blithe tone made it clear that you thought it wouldn’t be a big deal for the NCAA to create and implement a fair compensatory system, to which I disagreed. But we agree now, so it’s all good, bruh.

“The point is not that such a scheme would never be subject to legal chalkenge [sic], the point is that it’s feasible.”

It’s not that it can’t be done. It’s just that you’ve wildly underestimated the complexities inherent to putting together this kind of comprehensive licensing agreement, considering we haven’t even as a society figured out if players, by and large, should be allowed to receive monetary compensation for being athletes…

The NFL: Several hundred players, all represented by one union, with a clear licensing agreement that has been in place for decades.

Hey Kevin! I contribute thoughtful comments, never troll, and occasionally say somewhat funny stuff! I even do the stupid thing Deadspin writers do and use exclamation points needlessly! But I’m still in the grays, and here you are, complaining about trolls (who got out of the gray somehow) saying troll stuff, and all…

You are the baseball/boomerang of bloggers on this site. Just saying!

LOL

In what line of business is it OK to not serve certain people because of their sexual orientation?

It wouldn’t be equivalent, certainly, but I think Slick Willie would have acquitted himself nicely on that stage. He was, after all, in Toni Morrison’s estimation, our first black President.

THANK GOD LENA DUNHAM CAN FINALLY GET MARRIED

“Pineapple Express” was a superb action-comedy.
