Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill were transcendentally brilliant early in their careers, but their careers burned really bright and hot before getting cut short by injuries. A few years later was Tracy McGrady (who was arguably *better* than Kobe in their primes), and then Derrick Rose another few years after that. It…

If you had never seen the sugar-free Haribo reviews on Amazon before which is something you absolutely need to do, here you go:

You know, given the reaction of white people here, I’m starting to think cartoon caricatures depicting a race of people is offensive.

A few months ago in his tweets about this, Coates was saying he’s going to really take a deeper look at Wakanda having a monarchy with a hereditary line of leaders and what that really means, and how Wakanda’s citizens feel about it. Before now, it’s just been assumed the Wakandan way was different, and somehow…

No, I have a bucket with about 40 baseballs in it the kids use to practice. I was just pretending the baseball was a basketball and I was doing some elaborate series of moves I could never actually do.

Earlier this week at baseball practice (I’m coaching a team of 9 and 10-year olds) I picked up one of the baseballs off the ground and did a faux crossover and step-back fadeaway jumper to the bucket about 15 feet away, roughly free throw distance, and the ball went right in. All the kids saw it, and one of them…

This article was pretty hilarious, but the captions by “Rulings” were actually funnier than the article.

Madeline, if this post is at all representative of the types of Deadspin articles you’d write, please stay!

This is kind of bittersweet for me - he’s always been a niche character popular with comic aficionados, but once he explodes in popularity in the next 1-2 years he will acquire an army of fans who will probably be as annoying as Batman fans on the internet (“prep time”!). (I am aware of how pretentious this post…

It’s actually kinda amusing to watch people completely change their views on this when it comes to political figures. Saying certain things about dead people is out of bounds when it’s someone they like, but if it’s someone they can’t stand? Fair game, and they’ll join the pile-on. Most recent example was Scalia, all…

While this whole thing was being discussed, nobody asking the questions thought to ask the dancers what they thought. The audience, maybe, but it’s like the dancers were just inanimate objects. The idea that they could actually have a thought or a feeling never occurred. Maki Roll is basically speaking on their…

Yeah, pretty obvious who didn’t read her post. And anyone with a passing familiarity with Maki would know she’s *definitely* not going to align with the “hurr those damn SJWs” crowd, so if they think they have an ally in her, they’re mistaken.

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…
