I just want to make sure I understand the official Deadspin position on this: if you pee on a building wall and take down a poster/sign, you should have guns pointed at you and told to give up all the cash you have on you.

I presume since that’s OK, the guards are clear to shoot them if the pissers do not comply (e.g.,

Too many chicks and black people. They don’t count.

I bought that George W Bush birthday card at Target a couple years ago too.

Another factoid about Brazil’s police, that I remember reading before the Olympics.

I understand that, but it conflicts with my other “old” guy tendency — “Well, I paid for 10 bands, I should go see 10 bands. Gotta get my money’s worth!”

However, as I get older, value for money tends to lose out to “how late can I possibly arrive and still see the full set of the band I really want?”

That’s one of the underplayed signs “you’re getting old” — going to a general admission concert and realizing, about an hour or two in, “Man, I gotta find a place to sit down!”

You have to pace yourself and if you have a band you really want to see, bail on the band before them (and find a seat, any seat, even if you

Go check out Chuck Woolery’s Twitter sometime — you’ll have wished game show hosts went extinct much, much sooner.

Ever since the Clippers became respectable a few years ago and with the Cubs winning a playoff series last year (and likely more this year), the Lions have claimed the undisputed spot, with their on-the-field performance, as the worst U.S pro sports team over the last 50 years.

One playoff win. One. It’s unbelievable.

My

Forget Stottlemyre, I’m more excited about the Chevy Camaro ad (4th generation, butt-ugly version) that came right after it. Laughing women drivers, shredding guitar solo, driving across what looks like a West Texas landscape. “What else would you expect from the country that invented rock n’ roll?”

What else, indeed.

As someone who is not a Colts fan, but has watched Harrison play probably 100 games due to the Colts being a top franchise...I don’t know if I’ve ever heard Harrison speak. Thus, for no good reason, I put him in the “quite, unassuming” category — which is atypical for many star receivers (e.g., Chad Johnson, Terrell

No kidding — Tom’s statement is just dumb about Kemp, “He put up the numbers any reasonable person would have expected him to while he was in San Diego.”

What? A WAR of 0.2 in 2016 for a guy making $21 million/year at age 31 is “reasonable”? And that was a follow-up to 2015's whopping 0.6 (at age 30)? Kemp was the

I agree with you and DuDilla, but dammit that’s twice now — it’s spelled Isiah.

Now playing

It definitely is. But the playoff are different.

In part, Barkley & the old-timers were proven correct. A bigger, more physical team (with athleticism a la Westbrook or LeBron) could take it to the Warriors, as playoff basketball is always allowed to be rougher. To pick just one example, JR Smith put his butt into

Not to me. That’s why I was surprised there was at least some actual resemblance.

Yeah, it’s not just the Warriors not being “on it” — in the playoffs, I won’t say teams have “figured them out” but the switching and increase physicality of the playoffs has definitely made a big impact. It’s consistent.

It’s strange, as the Warriors (assuming they win Game 7, which is not a given) are in the

When I first heard about this, I thought...”Seems unlikely. Isn’t this guy at least a lot younger?”

But looking at these two pictures, I can definitely see more than a passing resemblance. So while I understand Ayesha’s upset, it doesn’t appear to be “hey, look for a light-skinned black guy between 18-64" type of

Thanks for the thought, but that song in the embedded video is just not that good. It’s way too wimpy and low energy for good “cock rock.”

To put it another way, they are safe from Draymond Green, because that song has no balls.

This is part of the reason I haven’t fully bought into the “Warriors are the greatest team of all-time!” narrative. They definitely are great, but I keep wondering — “Man, did the ‘89 Pistons/’96 Bulls/’87 Lakers/etc get boatraced by 25+ points like this in the playoffs? And multiple times?” I haven’t done a

Very good point, but that’s one good reason why Bill Simmons went to HBO. Not that he’s some crack investigative reporter, but it’s not a coincidence that he went to a place where he (and the NFL writers he hires for the Ringer, I presume) is free to put Goodell on blast at anytime (which he wasn’t free to do at ESPN).

This is definitely my favorite pop song of all-time. It’s got everything:
