Fun fact: At Yankee games there is a designated part of each game where fans stand up, say “peace be with you” to all the people around them, and discuss how much they paid for their respective tickets.

I wouldn’t be too worried about the timeline here. I don’t think there’s anyone in the world more adept than the Brazilians at quickly pulling off a total and complete cleanup effort.

The IOC would feel really bad about this, but in their defense, the bribes were exceptionally large.

The U.S. will send 48 rowers to Rio, they will be as forewarned and forearmed as the federation can make them

I don’t think this article is saying that. Making a Murderer is about a relatively powerless individual who was railroaded by the justice system at least once, and which presents credible evidence it happened again. It is one-sided to be sure, but there is at least a plausible basis for that.

Right? I kept reading and reading, then eventually skimming whole chunks at a time, waiting for some kind of kicker - the “and then he was found innocent on appeal” moment, or the “and then I went to Oklahoma City to hear from his victims”, something to give the whole mess a point - but holy shit, it just kept going…

Count the motherfucking clauses in that sentence. Forget the horrifying shit show that was the topic, any editor who let that damn clusterfuck out the door should be fired on the spot for that alone.

The downside to digital media is that, at the end of the day, you can’t wipe your ass with it.

I was reading it, thinking “so ok when are they going to say anything at all other than just that everyone who knew Holtzclaw seven years ago thinks he couldn’t have done this.” The last sentence was like the writer thought to himself, “wait oops I can’t sound too much like I’m supporting this guy, throw in a sentence…

I don’t understand why Tennessee would even need a Head Trainer anyway. Peyton’s was big enough already.

Good riddance.

Yeah. No one is excited. Because the last Bill Simmons-ran website was so shitty. At least that’s what Deadspin tells me and my opinion is always Deadspin’s.

I’m actually pretty interested. I loved Grantland.

He is getting $300m from the league but also essentially wants somewhere in the neighborhood of $300m-$400m in additional free public money for something only he will profit off of from a city with a deficit of over $2b (before considering costs associated with climate change).

“I can’t do it myself.” - A man who could do it himself

This is also the sort of bullshit to entice Chargers fans to watch games next season even though the team has already said it’s going to move. “Hey guys, maybe we’ll stick around if you spend lots of money next season!”

This citizens’ initiative may save the Chargers if they can get enough signatures. Looks like it all hinges on which way the Rivers family decides to go.

I have enough of your shit, Preston! From now on, i’m gonna build my own settlement, with blackjack and hookers.

Ugh, what a horrible fate. Working opposite Wilmer Valderrama, I mean.

They all end up like Kurtwood Smith in RoboCop.
