The disclaimer should have been at the top, not buried in the middle of the fifth (and longish) paragraph, where it could easily be missed. It needs to be clear from the outset that this is not in any way supposed to be an evenhanded portrayal of the events. Then we can make our own judgments.

"Deadspin contacted McQueary for comment ... Oh wait, no we didn't. We just rehashed wild speculation from a gambling blog without doing the responsible thing. Because journalism."

How is hockey different from, say, football? Very aggressive and emotional, but you almost never see fights or cheap-shot retaliation. Mainly because you throw a punch and you're ejected. Hockey could do the exact same thing but chooses not to. Face it, fighting sells tickets.

...as if he knows that only his mordant sensibility can adequately refract the various doings of the culture.

Talk about your slow news day...

As a bikini model, she gets paid to have her picture taken with her tits out all the time.

I could be wrong, but I would question your use of the word "painted."

You keep bring up Mexicans touching their food, which is an absolutely vile non sequitur. Stop it.

"Morality play"? Nobody is shoving any "morality" down your throat. They would just prefer to keep food as simple as possible, without added (and unnecessary) chemicals. (And just because chemicals may occur naturally doesn't necessarily make them something I want added to my food by big agriculture.)

Your iPad should do the trick just as well.

By all means, feel free to wait until there is definitive proof that sodium benzoate, propylene glycol, Disodium Guanylate, Disodium Inosinate and Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) are harmful over time. Keep sucking down that xanthan gum and high fructose corn syrup. And keep being an apologist for the big food companies.…

Liston not only weighed more, he had a substantial edge in reach (84-79), bigger chest, bigger fist, bigger biceps and a lot more experience. He was also a mean SOB.

"... 90 percent of collisions that occur when runner and ball get there at the same time..."

Here is a table doing just that, awarding the number of "medals" each team has earned this century

Except for the possibility of a knockout, boxing is absolutely based on judgement. You will often see different judges come up with a different winner, a split decision.

And now we'll get all the unfunny Deadspin commenters pathetically trying to trump Lauer. Don't bother, guys.

So instead of the obvious "mengagement" you went with "mangagement," which everyone trips over because it looks exactly like "management."

To say the Demichelis challenge wasn't dangerous misses the point. A tackle from behind like that is inherently dangerous and very possibly career-ending, and there has to be a strong deterrent. Yes, Messi escaped injury this time, but next time the result could be catastrophic.

So is it required to use the European style of using a plural verb with a singular noun when writing about non-American football? I mean, for an NBA game we wouldn't say "Los Angeles are playing New York tonight." But here we get "Portuguese side FC Porto are playing German club Eintracht Frankfurt today..."
