Joe Sheehan made some good points in his newsletter today. By trading series, it’s the Ranger ticket holders who have the last minute change. And they shouldn’t be forced to deal with it, “The biggest problem with that is it takes the burden of the rescheduling and lays it entirely at the feet of Rangers ticket…

All I just read you say was “never ask any questions, read a book FIRST.” Better yet, he didn’t ask a single person, but an online community with a range of opinions. He got the answer he wanted from tons of generous and understanding folks, yours represents the only downside, some dildo who sends everyone to the…

Who is going to give up a scholarship for kicker who isn’t eligible?

Why the hell is he tweeting that?! I spent two weeks explaining how Asian women are just a fantasy after my wife found my stash of SIAM Journals.

Frankly, that was more than I cared to learn

Most grueling sports:

Ewww you’d better not be a booster for my school with that attitude.

“...many of them could probably think of better ways to invest $5,000 or $6,000 if given the chance to do so themselves.” 

Because it wouldn’t be Deadspin if they weren’t whining.

TBF, scholarships (i.e., educational experience) ARE the standard argument about why not to pay them actual money.

Well, they could have done nothing instead, like 95% of the other football programs.

When McEnroe first heard the news that Navratilova had announced she was gay, he was heard to yell, “OF COURSE SHE’S OUT! USE YOUR FUCKING EYES, ARE YOU BLIND? HOW COULD YOU SAY SHE WASN’T OUT WHEN SHE WAS CLEARLY OUT?!?!”

What countries are you referring to that do not have firearms? Contrary to the myth London bobbies carry H&K semi-auto rifles. I don’t recall ever seeing cops in China with guns, but then their justice system, while efficient, doesn’t meet the human rights tests.

You think it’s hard for them you should see the row my FANTASY team has to hoe now.

15% isn’t all that low.
I’d be more inclined for 0% as it makes the tax burden individuals pay that much more transparent (because at the end of the day companies do not pay taxes, the cost is passed on to individual consumers, employees, investors and shareholders, the degree to each depending on the company and…

Re: Corporate tax rate

Our corporate tax rate is among the highest in the world.
We also impose tax on earnings made overseas (which almost no other country does).

You remember those tax inversions that made headlines a few years ago. Wanna know why they do it? In part because of those two facts.


Very much something…

Genocide is being committed all over the globe. Its our job to act unilaterally against that?

No, what’s depressing is that it took Donald Fucking Trump to make good on Barack Obama’s promise that chemical weapons were a ‘red line’ that , when crossed, would result in direct repercussion- not a couple hundred SOC ghouls keeping Kurds and Turks apart. The ONLY response to the use of WMD- by anyone- is an…

Interviewed Blanchard after the Cactus Bowl. Couldn’t have been nicer, more well spoken, and represented Baylor in a way I wasn’t going to expect from that team. Demonstrates why decent reporters don’t ever get cozy with players, eventually they all show their stripes.

I mean he explained that people who report in war zones and cartel land are heroes. That would encompass those 2,291 heroes. The ones who aren’t reporting from somewhere dangerous are just people doing there job. I have coworkers who did audit work for military in Iraq. Their compound got shelled and some were…
