Story appears to be wrong. The newspaper was reporting on the award, not actually giving it out. It was sponsored by Time-Warner Cable:

Nope. The ref's signal comes after the snap, but the request clearly comes before.

Seriously? Papelbon got in his face, blocked him from walking where he wanted to go, bumped his chest — and you're blaming West? I know it's cool to crap on the umpires, but you're ridiculous.

You might have a point...if he in fact was banned for life. He wasn't.

If you think you got poor service you complain to the manager. Maybe you leave a 10 percent tip instead of 20. But what McCoy did was mean-spirited and small-minded, magnified by the fact that a reasonable tip for him in this case is the equivalent of a quarter to you and me. No need to be an asshole when you live a…

No, the AG's office said THEY couldn't turn the video over to the NFL. There were plenty of ways for the NFL to view the video if it really wanted to know. Obviously TMZ did.

If you don't think what goes on OUTSIDE the courtroom in a high-profile case like this has no bearing on what goes on IN the courtroom you are incredibly naive. He may be scum, but this guy knows how to play the game, and he succeeded for his client.

You're not winning here. It's just that nobody is wasting their time debating with you because your assertions are so beyond-the-pale ignorant.

I didn't realize "venerable and iconic" were synonyms for "ugly and depressing."

Seems like you need big blinking disclaimer at the top of every one of these posts: PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME. DON'T COMPLAIN TO ME!

"Around the Horn" is a juggernaut? Everyone I know finds it unwatchable.

Wait, this is one of the replies that was approved? A Deadspin staffer read it and said, "Yep, this is an articulate, thoughtful and witty addition to the conversation. Publish!"

I'm dumbfounded how the writer, as well as so many commenters, could possibly think having one's foot ON the plate is somehow blocking it.

The catcher's foot was on the plate. By definition that is not blocking the plate. As is plainly evident, Puig had a clear path to the plate.

OK, not defending the indefensible, but I've seen a lot of asshole golfers go traipsing through private lawns and gardens to retrieve a damn $2 golf ball.

Francesca was backpedaling so fast Richard Sherman would have applauded.

I understand, but for most people the cost of feeding their family every week is more relevant than the cost of an iPhone.

Retail prices are decidedly NOT the same nationwide. Do your grocery shopping in Manahattan and I'll do mine in Arkansas and let's compare.

Baseball, for sure, but softball or basketball or some other sport? Not remote at all. She's obviously very athletic.

If it takes 15-20 minutes to walk to the stand, wait in line, get my food and pay for it while missing important game action (a game I paid $100+ to attend) then yes, I'm ready to shell out another $5.
