Ding! Ding! Ding! I just can’t understand the hubris. Years of criticizing poor contracts and smugly deriding anyone who didn’t kneel at the alter of analytics has taken us to this point. Now that we are here, the conversation switches to labor and ownership collusion. It’s just mind boggling.

Thank you for saying this. It seems like I’m taking crazy pills. I’ve read all these hot-take, think pieces, about how players are getting screwed and owners are colluding. I don’tunderstand this. As someone who has watched his favorite team (LAA) commit to BS overvalued long term deals, and seen the cavalcade of…

Awesome. Just fantastic.

So what do you want to happen? Suffer forever in some perpetual Think Piece Purgatory? The collective “you” haven’t exacted your pound of flesh from him and it bothers you. You want him to suffer more than the agreed monetary sum. You guys should thank him, he’s given you some sweet recycled #metoo material from the…

Yeah. FWIW Beyonce doesnt control her name/brand/image at all.....

Some people are hardwired for it. I on the other hand am a sniveling mess whenever I am around events or the hospital.

Hello,

Possibly.

Honest question.

Are we to believe that the LAPD had an exemplary track record with the marginalized public, the Olympics come to town, and all of a sudden they decide to drive tanks up people’s butts? The antagonist in this situation is not the Olympics, its the goddamn LAPD, who used an extraordinary event as a means to drive the…

Come on. The issue is the misapplied funding and militarization of police. The abuse of force by law enforcement, particularly in LA, has been around since the first badges were forged.

I know the prevailing attitude towards the Olympics here at Deadspin is that they can go fuck themselves. But at least be honest.

Uhhh. They both profit off of racist shit-talking. Have you not paid attention to anything that has come out of Floyd’s mouth over the last 10+ years?

Floyd literally BEATS women. Conor says dumb shit in order to sell fights. Case fucking closed.

Top promoted stars? Pretty sure Jon Jones was given every goddamn opportunity to be the biggest star in the sport. Also pretty sure he isnt white.

I know youre from Maryland by way of Minnesota, but what the fuck man? You left pinto beans off the goddamn list?????

San Diego guy here! EVERY SINGLE home game was inundated with out of towners. Didn’t matter what team it was. Fuck, I went to a Chargers vs. Texans game a couple years ago that was easily 40% Texans fans. Seahawks were here either last year or the year before and the bar I worked at had 30 to 50 Seattle fans in it at…

Pay channel? Nobody has? Ive had MLB Network since its inception and don’t pay for any sort of advanced sports package.

He called the fight immediately after he went down. This proves the UFC’s point perfectly. Although for the keyboard neurologists at Deadspin, this proves them to be some sort of nefarious lobotomists.

Did you know Jerome Bettis is from Detroit?
