My wife, who is a horrific Spades player, once threw over my card as I was cutting spades... twice... in a row... as I was cutting the same suit... after I threw up my hands and yelled “WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST DO” the first time.

I always get the impression that a significant number of people who are obsessed with comparing players or teams to different eras don’t appreciate how significant the hand-checking and illegal defense rules changed the game. LeBron, for example, would’ve played a totally different style of ball had he come into the…

I’ve never seen him as an analyst but I do know Randy Moss is actually really smart. Ray Lewis talks X’s and O’s pretty decent when he wants to but is otherwise an imbecile.

Why though? People only fake die in Marvel movies. And not even the comic-book way where they come back a couple years later with some hokey deus ex machina, they come back in the same movie. Groot, Fury, etc.

I wonder if Chris Cook’s avatar has been one of the following at any point:

It took me a few seconds.

Ever seen Jimmy Claussen play?

Even though I’m a Blackhawks fan and this happened in the context of my team being eliminated, I need NBC to hit this guy up and have him do commentary ASAP.

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.
