SJP didn’t pick up a skillet, but a sink. Which, I think, is probably more worthwhile.

MMA and boxing are sports, so there are sports where you don’t get thrown out for punching. In any case, it’s clear, you don’t like hockey. Watch something else, maybe tennis, there’s not much punching there. But hockey doesn’t owe it to you to change so that you like it more. NHL hockey has increased revenue and…

Unlike other sports fans, hockey fans don’t care if our sport is the most popular. We like it the way it is and you don’t have to watch if it bugs you. Seems like we can all have what we want — for you I recommend watching basketball games that come down to free throws. They sound more your speed.

So, in your opinion, the argument that the refs did what NHL refs always do, and that so happens to be what most hockey players and coaches think refs should do in that situation holds no water? That’s literally the argument that refs should be consistent with what they’ve done in similar situations in the past.…

This is a quality labor history comment. Not enough of those in these parts.

No SJW is trying to erase Hitler or Robert E Lee from history books, we just don’t think they deserve to be honored. It’s the conservatives folks in Texas that try to limit what goes into the school books. In fact they lobbied against including “critical thinking” in the high school curriculum based on fears that it…

Did it coincide with having kids? Had our first about a year ago and now that he’s running around and I have to chase him, I can’t make it much past 10 or 11.

Seriously — the day Prince dies and it’s probably the biggest story in the news, you think that’s a coincidence? I don’t particularly give a shit about the tweet, but that’s almost certainly meant to be topical, especially considering that professional social media types are always chasing whatever is trending.

We live in a time where money = speech. We can’t get our reps to be decent human beings on that grounds, but when the NBA and Pearl Jam and many others pull out of coming here, the business interests that are hurt by it tell the chamber of commerce to tell the legislature to get their heads out of their collective…

Yeah, but NC is run by the kind of idiots that think that building sports stadiums and hosting major events is great for the local economy, so while this threat really shouldn’t matter, it will.

You’re pretty much the only reason I keep coming back to Gawker and Deadspin.

You missed the entire point of my prior comment, I guess. If someone I thought I was friends with told me they like a politician I don’t like, it doesn’t matter to me. If they tell me they like Donald Trump, they are literally dead to me (and most especially anyone that says they support Trumps willingness to tell it…

Let’s all list stuff we can’t do. I can’t flap my arms and fly. This is fun!

Yeah — they want their free speech (which they fundamentally misunderstand to be the freedom to say things without consequence) but also the freedom to tell you what you cannot say about what they just said.

Sure. And it was Dallas fans booing Michael Irvin when he was seriously injured. It’s not enough to be shitty and classless fans, but you can’t even own it.

It doesn’t feel right starring anything on this post, but you get one.

Yeah. I’m a long-time Bills fan, and I’d say something like this about Rex Ryan, but I knew he was garbage before we hired him.

Donald Trump is not engaged in politics. He has recently said that Supreme Court justices “sign bills” and that he’d nominate one that would investigate Hillary Clinton’s email server. The man lacks even a 3rd grade understanding of government. He’s engaged in demagoguery and fear-mongering. I’ve never hated the…

Yeah, I watched about 50 replays of it and still can’t decide. It seems that his feet leave the ice just as he makes contact, which might be considered follow through. But his primary point of contact appears to be Orpik’s head, though it’s partially because Orpik stops skating and is leaned forward. I don’t think…
