didn’t see this before i wrote my comment, great minds etc.

i’d like to write the same article except about The Fall. It would be...100,000 words or so. Denton pays by the word, right?

i look forward to the last 30 seconds of this game, which as with all tense NBA games will take over 10 of the most boring minutes of anyone’s life, but bizarro: Time-outs called on successful inbounds before a layup can be taken, “icing” your own player etc.

2 hours away from anyone under 30 giving a shit about their sport.

religion is so awesome. so many people who are so right about their opinions.

If I may offer a Hot Take which rises to the level of an argument which may or may not result in a Think Piece, Jia: you are missing the key to this whole thing, because, basically, Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle.

they got rocked

things that are not in fact heart pounding: guys standing there shooting free throws. games that take 30 minutes to cover a 1 minute amount of playing time. these things are the opposite of heart-pounding.

others have already said this, but i'll start it again: to watch this stuff, to have an office pool, to talk about it seriously, is to perpetuate it where the "it" is totally fucking evil.

A Scottish old timer in Scotland, in a bar, talking to a young man.

i like all of these as brain damage delivery systems.

this one hits close to home, given that my wife (and her photographs of crying children) have become part of sandy hook truther lore. somehow photos she took of crying children in 2005 are supposedly the real children of sandy...look, i watched the fucking video and it didn't make any sense to any rational human…

me. i'll go first.

the NFL is the worst, not least because the players themselves are taught and internalize such shocking disregard for each other's safety and welfare. it's really sickening.

oh, you guys still writing lots of stories about kids who aren't paid to play a sport that old men make a ton of money on? same one that requires them to damage their brains in the name, hilariously, of getting an education? that's cool—enjoy the torture porn of this video over and over, i guess.

me, i'm just happy to see this covered on deadspin this way, like it's just a piece of the sports puzzle on a thursday night. #normcore.

so much to hate here—celebrating something that you have achieved that's just your job—pathetic. (I FUCKING NAILED THAT MEMO TO MY BOSS, BOO YA)

you are 100% unilaterally wrong. it is an astounding and near impossible act of atheticism. in a sport played by everyone everywhere, this particular combination of distance, accuracy, and timing may never have happened before in human history. you sort of suck.

Those of us who came of age under Reagan as actual politically attuned lefties knew in real time how his delusions and psychoses were infecting both the body politic and the US as an economy. And those delusions were perfectly captured by Milius, himself at this point delusional. to say that this was some harmless…

you have ignored the last frontier of possibility in your list of potential new products from "food" company Yum via sub-brand pizza hut—the packaging.
