Yes, this is a much better analysis of the at bat.

You mean copying and pasting two tweets isn’t comprehensive journalism?

That’s what the naysayers said about the Missouri Compromise!

Reporters are so soft now. I remember the days of Herbert McGoo, Joe Dribbler, Dick Frank, Johnny Johnson, Big Jim Pincus, Wally Habbermaster, and their ilk. They’d get a quote out of ty Cobb or honus Wagner if it meant a fight. If you thought you could throw McGoo out of the clubhouse he would patiently oblige and…

“Fuck no I’m not paying you for this. a) That was like 20 years ago and b) I said Big POPPA.”

Personally, I’m disappointed that he didn’t try to pick up the bag and run to third.

I can tell you how this is gonna play out now. He’s probably already back in Canada, so he’s out of their jurisdiction. And the Canadians won’t extradite one of their own. But Batman has no jurisdiction.

Having a hard time getting worked up about this, personally. The ads on Deadspin are frequently intrusive and bad but I turn Adblock off here because God knows I love this place and I’d like y’all to keep Remembering Guys in perpetuity. There are much, much more troubling ad/partner integrations than a league partner…

The content of the draft guide is great, it also looks great and I bet it was a lot of work. People need to get paid for their work. They partner with brands for this. The end.

How do you feel about the commerce content that’s found on this site? While it is of course different in many ways from true Deadspin posts, it does seem to try to fit in with the rest of the site; it definitely doesn’t feel slapped on.

They brought in eight guys. I would imagine if there truly were more good kickers than ever, at least half those dudes would look impressive in practice. That doesn’t sound like it’s been the case. Granted, I agree with the general premise that the Bears are going about this in a misguided way, but it’s not as though…

Because jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams, or something conspiracy theory-sounding 

It’s entirely possible the Bears would’ve won the Super Bowl if Parkey makes that field goal. They’d beaten the Rams earlier in the season (held them to 6 points), and lost 38-31 to the Pats earlier in the year, before their defense jelled. (Ok, maybe they would’ve lost to the Pats b/c Belichick is Belichick and Nagy…

Whatever went through your mind went through my mind.

“Jessica Claire Biel was born on March 3, 1982, in Ely, Minnesota, to Kimberly (née Conroe), a homemaker and spiritual healer” ... I mean... there you go.   

Fuck, your article and the first comment I read completely miss the point: nobody disputes that the U.S. was justified in scoring as many times as possible, with goal differential being a factor in the standings. It’s about celebrating the 8th or 9th or 10th goal and beyond against an outclassed, clearly dispirited…

if the men’s team scored this many and celebrated the same way after goal 5, we’d be having the same discussion.

Just do what I’ve seen Tarantino do recently when he gets asked about the violence in his films and say “it’s my movie, this is how I wanted it to be, no one has to see it, but I’m not going to apologize for it either.”

THANK. YOU.
