Here’s the thing: fuck ‘em. Pats fans can talk about this until the sun explodes, and I will tune it out just fine. In fact, I hope this humiliating loss to a backup quarterback whose regular season QBR was 79 is the beginning of another Boston drought, the Curse of the Folesbino, and it becomes a legend among their…

The difference between Indy and Boston is that for a million bucks, you can get a house in an area where your racist neighbors are polite.

It’s been 128 years since Wounded Knee.

Conspiracy theory me says that they did that on purpose, counting on Kraft to shell out to keep McDaniels, so they could lock in better down-hierarchy guys than they would be able to otherwise. They pick up a disgraced HC like Pagano or Coughlin and get them to produce an AFC South-winning 6-9-1 and trade Luck to the…

Recently re-read William James’ The Moral Equivalent of War. Great read, and very relevant to our society and football today, to understand what the appeal of football is, why we on some level need it, and what we might be able to do about it.

But man, this car sure does go!

Old-school Deadspin was all about posting shitty takes because, too. Billy is just more committed to the role than anyone else.

Deulofeu belongs in Watford because Watford sucks, and so does he.

So effing what? It’s 2018; people have cameras with them everywhere and take selfies. People did plenty of boneheaded stuff in medical schools back in the day, too, probably even worse, it’s just that these days it’s easier to document - you don’t need to pay Rembrandt a pouch of gold and sit still for several hours.

Yeah, but which fucking college stars is that not true of? Part of the coaches’ job is to make sure he gets there mentally and learns to handle the higher pressure of the pro game.

The sports media is shit.

Not stopping the clock is fine. What’s incredibly dumb is not stopping the clock and then adding a completely arbitrary number of extra minutes for “injury time” at the end. I don’t know on what planet that’s a better choice than stopping the damn clock, but it isn’t Earth.

Get a fucking screen protector? Doesn’t mess with the lovely form factor of your phone, and does protect the screen. Case closed.

Diving?

Discussion Question: Is Rudy the Midwest’s Rocky, or is Rocky the East Coast’s Rudy?

Surfaces in 3-D computer geometry are generally one-sided to speed up computation - typically a face of a surface is defined as a triangular or polygonal series of points in clockwise (or sometimes, depending on the system, counterclockwise) order, which means there’s a natural “front” and “back” - if you look at a…
