I agree with the overall sentiment, but the NBA has such a talent disparity between teams that, for me, makes it somewhat difficult to care too much for.

When he’s trying to be clever and whimsical, he’s insufferable. But when he writes seriously about things, he’s a talented writer. That’s what makes me hate his shitty articles even more. Who reads that shit?

That’s it’s problem. Too much content or something. Most of it is aggressively stupid and vapid. Donsky and Serrano are enough to keep me away from the site, never mind the rest who only annoyed me enough to reinforce my distaste but not remember their names. (Sad thing is when Serrano isn’t trying to be clever and…

Khabib and Ferguson both. Both of those guys have gone well past “earning” a title shot, and one or both of them are going to miss out on the next one, depending on what McGregor decides to do next (Woodley?). Not to mention Aldo, as well. UFC is getting hard to watch if you’re anything more than a “casual” fan.…

Exactly.

Dude. Empathy and rationality have no place in political discussions online. I feel all weird and stuff.

Arkansas gave us Charles Portis. It is largely redeemed for that alone.

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.
