Searching for the lie...

Ben Carson had me wondering if brain surgery was actually all that hard.

This kinda reminds me of Rose’s MVP season, and the following season before he blew out his knee (where people forget how transcendently brilliant he was). After he dominated the Wizards, the media was asking the coach “so what do you do, do you think about doubling him, trapping?” He was like “I did, and it didn’t…

There are still a lot of people (mostly old heads and people who can’t get out of the 90s, and I say this as a big-time MJ-Bulls fanboy) still throwing shade on Curry - they say things like “they’re just not playing defense on him.” Let’s ignore the obvious falsehood of this statement. What defensive call are you…

I actually did sit there and hold my cat as I watched the last bits of life evaporated from her - and that REALLY sucked but I’m glad I was there. My cat’s last couple of weeks were so miserable, and I didn’t realize she was actually dying until her actual last day when she’d deteriorated so fast overnight, and I feel…

I remember doing a CTT class that was, essentially, how to shit while wearing MOPP 4.

In 2003 I was in Kuwait at the onset of the Iraq war and we were still operating under the assumption that Iraq had/was using chemical weapons (we found out like 44 seconds into the war they didn’t but this was before), so I was in full chemical gear. If you don’t know what that is, it’s like a jacket and pants that…

I used to watch ESPN religiously, but in about 2006 or 2007 one day I decided I was going to quit it cold turkey. This was when the era of screaming idiots started taking over and they stopped doing anything insightful (30 for 30 years later nothwithstanding). I only ever watch live sports, but that is maybe 6 times a…

LeBron has always been outspoken about social issues - this is a classic case of giving something to people who then turn around and demand more. If and when LeBron decides to speak out about the Tamir Rice situation it will be by his choice and some idea he proactively decided to do himself. LeBron is nicer than I…

I’m looking at people who’ve been posting this meme with the same side eye I use for people who post those Facebook “privacy” or “copyright” notices.

We had a rat problem in Chicago in the 90s once (there are rats and then there are city rats OMG) and my uncle got glue traps - we caught one and the screeching woke me up and I saw it stuck in the kitchen with one leg chewed off and a bunch of fur glued to the ground and blood everywhere. Had to take that out back…

It’s soooo appropriate to use a photo of Lovie Smith on a post about clock mismanagement.

After last night people were talking about how Denver found the “blueprint for how to stop Rodgers” and other such nonsense as though they were making revelatory statements. Yeah, all you have to do is stack your defense with top 5 players at every position and have the best defense in the NFL, and yes, it turns out…

While I think people knew this was just a matter of time before it happened, that doesn’t make this suck any less. Those of us who can’t get enough of the type of quality content Grantlant put out lose, while Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless are paid handsomely to dish out hot takes, because that’s what makes money.…

This has absolutely nothing at all to do with what I posted whatsoever.

He had 3812 yards, and was averaging 254.1 yards per game, meaning had he not been benched by Trestman, it would’ve been 4000 yards. This is why I said after that “accounting for the one game...” The rest of your post is not relevant to the point I made so I’m not going to bother

That is not what I’m saying. I’m saying Marshall, for better or worse, is a total pain in the ass, and with a coach like Trestman, that’s going to compound. But they traded Marshall *after* Trestman was fired so idk.

Marshall needs to be managed in a certain way so that his presence doesn’t become disruptive - Trestman was not the guy to do that.

The second year of Trestman was just... man I don’t want to remember it. But there was a time when he, a guy who directly observes every player in practice and ostensibly knows everything about the players because of all the information he has access to, said with a straight face that the team had a better chance of…

at least once a day, I read a comment that reminds me why I always read Deadspin comments.
