You’re going to get a lot of idiots saying “oooh look at the grammar police... blah blah blah” but these guys are paid to write, and someone is paid to edit, so it’s fine to point out their mistakes. Deadspin is a site wholly based on professionals’ mistakes.

Agreeing to a 120 trial to see if your money and power can influence an ignoramus should not be looked at as a knock on these guys. They have plenty wrong with them, but I don’t think this is it. It was a failure, and some have backed out but being a member of a group that makes decisions doesn’t mean you’ve agreed to…

The Pens came back from 0-2 in 2009 against the Wings. I think the Bruins were down 0-2 a few years ago. And the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead. This series isn’t over.

I agree but your gif game isn’t cracking the Mendoza line

It’s a competition and there are stakes, fights will happen. That isn’t pathetic. Can we just accept that grown athletes fight sometimes in the heat of play and stop pretending it’s a moral judgement of the players, sport or country?

They’re only around in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin (maybe a stray in a nearby state)

I don’t know where you live internet person, but I suggest you move. Cracker Barrel is not even close to decent. It’s basically college buffet X-lax

My brother has talked about the score thing (he got it from a podcast). The general suggestion was that with 2 minutes left in the game, take the leading team’s points and add like 15 points. First to that score gets the win. For example if GSW is up 115 - 91 on the Lakers, then the first team to 130 wins. This gets…

Two things I learned from this mailbag:

I’m actually really excited for the move away from Medium. I also like a lot of the writing and would love to see it on a website that didn’t suck to look at or navigate.

I also hope the Ringer gets a lively comment section like Kinja sites. I find the Ringer writers and Deadspin writers personally interesting and…

I still don’t understand the abject hatred of Bill Simmons. His TV show sucked but who cares? I don’t see him doing anything destructive, and he hires some really talented people. His podcast is fun too. Is he even a competitor to Deadspin? I feel like the sites would prop each other up nicely.

Yeah I actually tried right away. At first I thought it was funny cause this guy in my mind looks like a cartoon neighbor not someone who would send that. Then got a response of the actual link and now I don’t know how to take down the message now that people have responded to it

This will never get out of the grays but I feel like it’s something that belongs on a goodbye to Ashley post -

Has Ashley hacked Smash Mouth’s Twitter? Totally think it’s possible

Kinda think he looks like this guy:

He deals with all of that still. Look at the actual stats instead of the perception - Sid doesn’t get that many calls anymore. He admittedly did when he was the wunderkid and tried to get calls when he was being fouled. That was 10 years ago. Also, any player that has the camera on them at all times looks dirtier.…

What differentiates them are two things - it’s across all sports and it’s how defensive they get about it. It’s like Boston and racism, Philly fans for years fought back really hard on the idea that they can be an asshole fan-base. As you said, plenty of places have passionate fans, same as everywhere in America is…

I meant in style and what he’s good at. Hasek is the best version of Fleury.

I question any sports fan, who didn’t have $ on the spread of this game, who didn’t switch over to hockey after the first half

Big Pens fan and will be rooting for them hard in the finals, but much like last year, I won’t be overly sad if the other team wins. Preds are fun and their fans are good.
