Apparently six NBA teams disagree with you, since he has had a long NBA career playing a valuable role. But I guess we should defer to your superior knowledge of basketball.

There's fuck-all to do in Oklahoma City, too.

Dumb thing to say, sure. But there's nothing homophobic about it, and it's unfair to throw out that word indiscriminately.

Among other things, your assumption that Burnett was 52 feet from home is suspect. No way does he have an 8-foot stride, and the distance from the rubber to the plate (60 feet 6 inches) is to the front of the plate. The catcher is clearly nowhere near the front of the plate when he releases.

You mean, like those clowns in Minnesota, Detroit, New York, Boston, Chicago....

Bullshit. If you redacted every comment that "wasn't that funny" you wouldn't have a website.

The only people who look small in these posts are the Deadspin writers, who aren't even qualified to READ Esquire.

You need remedial geometry if you call that a 360...

Compared to today's game their pivot foots were virtually anchored. Check YouTube for recent examples.

Really? You're going to blame a college kid because he wasn't Martin Luther King Jr. and didn't change the course of history in the 1960s?

So you pull a quote from USA Today and then manage to misspell the word "receive." Pitiful.

Exchange may be losing some of its dominance, but it absolutely rules in the corporate world, and will continue to for a long time.

Yes, why would we want to hear what the fighters have to say? Much preferable to read some uninformed snark on Deadspin, followed by unfunny commenters +1-ing each other. Now THAT'S journalism!

"Something called 'La Salle'"??? Where does Deadspin get these junior-high-level interns who have no sense of anything that happened before 2010? What an embarrassment.

Show me anywhere in the rules of the game where it says dangerous play must be intentional. I'll wait.

" authorities took him into custody."

Wat is not a Chinese name? This page would disagree with you: http://legacy1.net/chinese-surnames-and-spelling-variations/

Once again your bitter, petty jealousy at anyone with a real journalism job shines through. This is even weaker than your usual crap.

Oh, come on, this wasn't his funeral, these are the Grammy Awards. A whole bunch of young people who probably had never heard of Levon Helm were just exposed to one of the all-time greats. And I guarantee they paid more attention than if you trotted out a bunch of Levon's contemporaries.

Wait, someone named PacSmoove used the proper form "You're gay" and Kobe admonished him but changed it to "Your gay"??? Priceless!
