Deadspin comes across looking like petty assholes for obsessively sniping at Simmons, not the other way around.

And on top of that, Simmons is right. He came up with the trade value column format and let a baseball expert he hired write the baseball version. Seems pretty straightforward that Keri would then give that…

are you serious? I suck at lip reading and even I can tell the coach was screaming “his arm went through the basket”

Ummm...pretty sure the guy driving like a maniac in a stolen car would be the one to blame for any injury, and not a frigging spike strip or the people who put it on the road.

Don’t be silly. She’s not doing this out of pure malice. She wants to redirect public funds to for-profit private education, which - shocker! - just so happens to be something her family is heavily invested in.

He looked at it a bunch of times, then showed it to his co-presenter for a 2nd opinion on what to do. He didn’t tell her to read the damn thing, she just blurted out the name. This is like 95% the fault of the idiots who couldn’t hand them the right envelope, and 5% the fault of Beatty and Dunaway for not…

Umm...he WAS looking for clarification. He showed it to his co-presenter like “what should we do with this?” He didn’t ask her to read it, she just went ahead and blurted it out.

It’s not like standing out there on stage on live TV you can call a conference to figure out how to handle the damn card that says “La La…

Beatty was given the wrong card on live TV and had no idea what to do. Has nothing to do with being old, you wouldn’t know what to do either. And he didn’t even say “La La Land”, he handed the card to Dunaway for a 2nd opinion and she immediately said the wrong thing.

Uber is fundamentally different than Microsoft and Amazon.

To be fair, knocking them in the face would be an improvement over what happens to the average Baylor co-ed.

Meh - I’m pretty solidly on the side of freedom of speech, but it still boggles my mind that people worship a group that broke away from the United States, killed hundreds of thousands of Americans, and did it all so they could own black people.

Honest question - does any other country have a losing side of a Civil War…

This false equivalence is what drives believers in secular society crazy. Countries like Saudi Arabia or Iran are Islamic theocracies. The government and its laws are based on Islam, and discrimination against other religions is codified into law. It is nothing like Nazi Germany, which while presiding over a…

The job of the DNC Chair is to raise money and win elections. Ideally, you would have someone who has A) raised money and B) won elections to fill this position. Perez is neither, and therefore is not “enormously competent”.

As a coastal person, I can confirm most people out here are being dicks and focusing on stuff that doesn’t matter. Perfect example - at the Grammies the other day,there was exactly one specific cause explicitly mentioned, where that presenter told us to google some guy’s name. You google it, and it’s some middle…

And if it wasn’t enough for the primary, it wouldn’t have been enough for the national race

I’m telling you right now that I’m done if the Dems want to continue “staying the course”. We tried their way, and they blew the most winnable election in recent history. Now, they try the other way.

You STILL don’t get that getting more votes in a party primary doesn’t guarantee electability? Hillary beat everyone amongst a vote of hardcore Democrats. The problem is that she has pretty much zero people who like her outside of hardcore Democrats.

To argue that Hillary won, therefore she was the best candidate is…

Same. I’ve voted for Democrats all my life, but their insistence on running against the grain from what people want right now is unbelievably frustrating. Sanders is trying to drag them kicking and screaming in the right direction, they just lost to Donald freaking Trump, and they STILL want to continue the status…

To be fair, pretty much anyone else would have won. When the primaries were wrapping up, Trump had a net favorability rating of -30 (i.e 30% more dislike than like). Do you know how hard it is to lose to someone with a -30 net favorability? The Democrats found the one person in the entire party with favorability…

OK, I’m the last to get outraged over something, but seriously, WTF? This is just beyond fucked up and whoever wrote that should be fired immediately.

You’re behavior here is disgusting. I am a liberal, and this kind of crap used to be limited to the Breitbarts and Infowars idiots on the right. You’re a total embarrassment to people on our side. Please go away, you’re not helping.
