+1.   Kevin O’Connor’s work is consistently excellent, but they won’t be able to admit that here at Deadspin, unfortunately.

That’s a dumb take that is contradicted by evidence: (1) There have been plenty of other players who were outspoken in favor of labor who played for the Bears for years; (2) reporting indicates that Pace asked the 49’ers about getting Gould back via trade before the draft this year and the Niners said “no”; (3)…

He’s just pointing out how dumb it is to speculate without any hard info, aka, the Smith-Kellerman Method.

Even then, members who come to a union through new organizing campaigns typically don’t pay an initiation fee and pay discounted dues - and the raises they typically get thanks to union representation more than compensate them for the modest cost of union dues.

Jesus.

PS Steve: Brett Favre was probably the pettiest, most selfish and immature guy in the NFL while he was playing.

I’d like to know why violence towards a child wasn’t enough to get him suspended.

They have figured out series, but their original full length feature offerings have been largely poor, sometimes comically so. They remind me of the SciFi Network or Hallmark Channel.

This is what I do, and I will be back when Westworld comes back, just to see if they can fix the dumpster fire that was Season 2 after Season 1 made me think we had the best parts of LOST and GoT rolled into one show. I am going to have to get Disney for The Mandalorian (I’ve been wanting to see a live action SW show…

This place skews way too young these days to get that reference, but its freaking top notch.  well done.

Probably every hockey upset can be traced back to this.

Bridges has played one year on a terrible team.  Brandon Rush was a COMPLETELY different player.  Your argument is invalid.

If the Bulls land where they are expected to in the Draft, I really hope they grab De’Andre. At worst he’s Danny Green and at best he’s Kawhi.

You’re right, they would. But this makes it easy for their 4th grad reading level folks and is perfect for our low-attention span culture / 200 character/ headline culture.

The only reason not to fear that is that if a Dem wins in 2020, that Dem is in charge of the largest and most powerful military in the world. No matter what the cache of weapons looks like in your survival compound, POTUS’s is bigger.

Somoene - anyone - who can win a fucking nation election. Because frankly, defeating Trump is far more important than Bernie, bro.

The reality is that each and every organization - including SPLC and this one - are run by humans and humans are inherently flawed. The lesson isn’t that you should throw the baby out with the bathwater, its that we need to be more aware of those flaws and stop expecting people to be perfect reflections of the causes…

Considering how fractured the Dems are and that we are likely to nominate someone who will alienate half the country and lead to trump getting re-elected, I really hope we get irrefutable evidence about the hookers peeing on the bed. It’s something fun at least.

Wrong. Knight’s players would never have felt comfortable enough with him to talk back (MSU’s did) or hold him back (ditto). You may not like what Izzo did here and I never enjoyed being on the receiving end when I played basketball, but his players’ reaction indicates they have a different relationship with him…

This.  Pence is arguably scarier and probably would have a better chance at getting reelected.
