a key thing we seem to be forgetting (and i say this as someone who has been boycotting the NFL since i made a documentary about injuries in 2013) is that many football players are just...assholes. lousy people. given a sense of entitlement because they were great athletes in high school, and using that to do horrible…

so we have a wall

this opinion is right and good, and will be girded on all sides AT THIS VERY COMPANY’S SITES by various NFL and NCAA football takes.

understated. revive pol pot and tell him this is his new problem to solve, by whatever means necessary.

it is not, bc these people make bad video and don’t even really seem to care.

this is stupid shitty clickbait and be ashamed.

what if i want to eat john schnatter, from snout to tail? does ingesting him give me the power of racism? or am i removing racism from the world? HELP I NEED ANSWERS

what he actually is, and i have this from a woman who experienced it and told me almost immediately after, is a (ALLEGED JESUS CHRIST OK?) rapist. what she experienced was being invited to his hotel (i think the peninsula but i may be remembering wrong) when she was an intern at his production company. told to show up…

he’s right. that’s more of an indictment of in-and-out than praise for fatburger.

Hey! i grew up in northampton! nothing wrong with it, especially if you like culture, college towns, lesbians, and hippies.

funny enough there have been studies done on this very question (in the atlanta area) and wouldn’t you know it: people’s beliefs that a bigger house/pool will make them happier despite a longer commute are wrong. people get sadder the longer they commute, whatever house they live in.

i on the other hand have no NDA so i can say:

and nick, soon enough this very website will give breathless coverage to an NCAA football game, or March Madness [TM] as if NONE OF WHAT YOU WROTE MATTERS. the split personality of this site in terms of both the NFL and the NCAA is truly becoming untenable. i don’t get it anymore.

so, again: we know this stuff is bad. we know, in part, because you report on all sorts of terrible things about the NCAA, the NFL, and football generally. yet still you will do some dumb sub SI.com coverage as well, BECAUSE CLICKS.

or, and hear me out here—maybe a site that regularly points out the hypocrisy and evil of the NCAA means that hell no, it’s not time to get on any bandwagon or signal boost an organization whose evil i’ve learned so much about here at deadspin. or are we supposed to pretend you haven’t written those things? or worse,…

i continue to be confused by deadspin’s football takes. you, drew and so on. mostly drew, i guess. you have identified the horror that football visits on the vast majority of those who play it, you’ve noted that its feeder system, the NCAA, is the closest thing we have to slavery around, and yet you still cover the…

saw it last night. it’s totally entertaining and enjoyable, and the allegory is oddly inscrutable despite trying, i think, to be totally obvious!

yes to all of this dave. i saw them in punk clubs and on their “triumphant” “major label” “arena” tour which was a sold out show at the wang center in boston with the feelies opening for them. they managed something even The Pixies couldn’t: to be both ahead of their time and behind the right era to get our age…

fuck advertising commercial psychology

This is all wrong.
