Did enough in each place to get a big new contract.

They had a pretty shameful loss at the Lakers last year too. I’m on board with it being half partying, half not taking the Lakers seriously.

I read/listened to a lot of his stuff a few years ago, but ever since he left ESPN either he’s turned to shit or I’ve grown up (as much as a Deadspin reader can). He probably needed ESPN’s structure more than he realizes.

That might be the shittiest Kaepernick take of all time. “Think about all the poor white people that died to end slavery”.

Stay mad, bro.

That’s awesome.

Pretty sure they try to make horseracing as fast as possible.

Being a joke doesn’t make you a comedian.

Only difference between you and Brandon Knight is that you’re still alive.

He was really, really bad.

Why’d he let people call him Boof? Because his real name is John Paul.

They have to get a playable big via trade at some point, right? The Zaza Pachulia/David West show was...almost embarrassing.

“We found 8 people who wanted to complain about their jobs.”

Jay Cutler’s presence improving the watchability of football?

I don’t think that’s a hot take at all, mostly because the only thing the league is worse at than adjudicating justice is paying for stadiums with their own money.

Mike Shanahan takes QB management advice from Joe Namath, apparently.

Did they learn it at Trump University?

Pretty sure I had a stroke reading that Goodell quote. Seriously, just put Trump in charge of the NFL and get it over with.

Worst case scenario, in 10 years the NFL won’t be #1 by quite as much in the US. It’ll hold on to enough support to be fine, but it wouldn’t shock me if the next TV contracts (inflation adjusted) are lower than the current deals due to other sports gaining relative popularity and consumer habits changing regarding…

If Gawker would’ve hired this Sulzberger dude maybe it’d still exist.
