I’m legitimately emotional right now. I’m getting married in four days, and my bride-to-be is confused as all hell, but this is the first time in a long long long time that I’ve been this happy about a sporting event and a team.

The great thing about DC sports talk radio is that tomorrow they’ll all briefly mention that the Caps are going to the Stanley Cup Final and then spend four full hours talking excitedly and arguing loudly about who’s most likely to start at left tackle in the Redskins’ second exhibition game this summer.

Are we allowed to celebrate, now, you piece of shit Wilbon?

Holy fuck is the Canadian broadcast condescending as fuck towards Ovechkin, they just cannot give the guy any praise without undercutting it and bringing him down a little bit.

I’d love to make a smartass comment but all I can do is sit here in shock. I can’t believe this team is in the Finals. When we beat the Pens I literally screamed “FUCK YOU, PITTSBURGH” out the window, but this time I’m just in disbelief.

Oh shit, you came at PFT Commentor. I would have recommended against this, but I commend your bravery. I might stay away from twitter for a bit though.

No, I agree. It’s problematic to write this kind of article when Deadspin hasn’t said shit about the stuff that’s come up around Greg Howard.

This is a great column and the comments will be a train-wreck.

For a long time, I thought that PFTCommenter was Magary.

Deadspin shits on Clay Travis every chance they get.

His boss harasses Laura, he says “no comment” and you think she’s being petty?

while you’re doxxing former Deadspin commenters can you tell me what Iron Mike Gallego’s real name is, i need to ask him what rolex goes best with my porsche

I’ve loved his schtick since the KSK days, but Laura’s correct with that Colbert/Fox analogy. We have to draw the line somewhere, and it’s probably long past time we stopped trying to separate him from Barstool.

Laura, good article, you bring up really solid points and I 100% agree with you.

Everything you have just written aside from the implication that Judge and LeBron have great bodies, is so wildly incorrect that I don’t even know where to begin. Judge is showing phenomenal plate discipline and has been getting utterly hosed by calls below his knees.

LeBron James is one of the smartest athletes to ever play the game, his basketball IQ is incredible. Please shut the fuck up

Long live the pitcher who points up in the air at a 450 foot walk off

You’re right that they were all beautiful goals, but you’re forgetting tonight’s true hero: Lars Eller. Without his uncanny ability to find new ways to hand the Lightning a power play advantage every three minutes, it might be just another boring 3-1 series.

And yet, all you have to do to not flush your life down the toilet publicly is to simply avoid being an asshole, but so many people find this strategy absolutely baffling.

Being known as the “Racist Lawyer” for the rest of your life is second only to being the “Crying Nazi.”
