The big secret is that Grantland and The Ringer are pretty similar sites, content-wise. Grantland had a handful of legit writers who aren’t at The Ringer, but the general idea is the same. Mix up talented, long-form craftsman and stats geeks with annoying, “hip” pop culture writers who all write like they’re in the…

Guess we know who the Gregggg Easterbrook haughty dipshit of the week is.... Glory boy.

No, not an alien. You just have good genes. This is what people don’t want to come to terms with. It’s probably something like 90-percent of our health comes from our genes, if not more. I’m the same the way. I’ve experimented with any number of diets (including those that would be considered deathly unhealthy by most…

Nobody’s nitpicking about long-term effects on Chapman’s arm. They’re wondering how he will perform TONIGHT if he is fatigued.

What steroids/HGH do for batters is put more distance on the ball. Yes, it doesn’t help someone who can’t hit a curveball hit a curveball, but they do help someone who can hit a pop-fly curveball 350 feet hit one 370 feet and so on. That 20-feet (or so) is the difference between a bunch of pop-outs and a bunch of…

Personally, I still think a maximum wage is ideal. But that makes me even more delusional than Libertarians.

Erm...WOULD!

You just don’t get it because you weren’t smart enough to go to Hahvahd.

Do most of you guys really feel like today’s pop music isn’t objectively shittier than it’s generally ever been? I get that the Golden Age Fallacy is frustrating as hell, and, in general, most things are getting (slowly) better instead of worse. But music is terrible these days. There aren’t even really different…

This is the proper take. I’m generally a pacifist, but the mistake was in not totally and wholly eviscerating anything left of the southern resistance. All of the leaders should’ve been murdered in public. The underlings should’ve had long, perhaps interminable prison sentences, and the entire culture of the…

Outliers. Also, they’re actual American Indians. They can do with their image whatever they see fit. Also, not everybody in the community agrees with the people in the picture. Also, they are getting tons of money from Snyder and his football team to keep their “pride” going.

This is exactly the correct take.

Damn it, Deadspin. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t say that the real problem with Macklemore is that he sucks, and then turn around and call someone like Lil B talented. They are more alike than Lil B is to MF Doom or any other talented rapper you guys want to lump him in with.

I just don’t understand how people fail to recognize that they’re hypocrites. If this was Obama saying and doing and being accused of these things, these idiots wouldn’t shut up about it (nor should they). They would honestly be much harsher on him than people are being to Trump. But they don’t get it. They don’t…

I agree with you on this. Once people learned how to cope with his size, he wasn’t an effective fighter anymore. Carwin exposed him. He was big and strong and had good wrestling. But he didn’t like getting hit in the face. Diverticulitis had nothing to do with it at that point.

Dude, don’t compare Goldberg to Stone Cold. Stone Cold was a hell of a wrestler. His move-set was limited because of injuries, but he could tell a story in the ring and he knew how to pace his matches. Goldberg was always, “Let me just putz around awkwardly for 12 minutes and then spear this guy at the end.”

Yep. I think if we could actually get one of these assholes in office (perhaps under the designation of something other than “socialist”) people would ultimately be very happy with the results.

i don’t see how. Conservatives have dumped every paranoid crooked-liberal fantasy onto Hilary. There is no one in the world these people hate more. Not even Obama. And half of her own party doesn’t even like her. She’s easily the worst candidate the Democrats have rolled out in my lifetime, and she’s going to win ONLY…

Lesnar actually knows how to wrestle. Both for real and professionally. He can beat Goldberg in real life and he can put on a better show in the ring. I think that’s the point here.

Shea Serrano epitomizes everything wrong with that site.
