Yes, please don’t, and while you’re at it feel free to just STFU with all your Harden Derangement Syndrome bullshit. Like the guy above says, he gets criticized deservedly for things at times, but it’s become some sort of Deadspin universe virtue signaling to shit on the Beard for any and everything he does, despite…

The best clubhouse in baseball is in Houston, has been for 3 years. They even have McCann involved. Young, enthusiastic guys have a shit ton of fun, even through all that’s happened the past month or two w/Harvey, Puerto Rico (Correa and Beltran’s families) etc.

True, but passing numbers have never been gaudier. The numerous rule changes have really favored offense and its hard to even breathe on a QB without drawing a flag nowadays. I think we’re seeing the natural ebb and flow of things, and just happen to be in a period with shittier QBs as one generation (Brees, Mannings,…

Not afraid. When you put on a uniform, any uniform, you are expected to respect the squad and conduct yourself in a predictable manner.

I mean you have a farm system you’ve built up, you already have a young and talented team at the major league level and you have a legitimate shot to make the World Series. There’s nothing left to wait for. If it doesn’t work out it doesn’t work out but if you’re in Houston’s position I don’t think you regret going…

I guess I’m educated enough to know what Catholics believe compared to others. But hey, continue being ignorant and smug. I’m sure it serves you well in your angry, unimportant life.

Having the sick impulse to call the cops, from the site of one of the worst flood disasters in American history, to report victims of that flood for looting a supermarket; but also: a crime

My mom lost her house. She lost her car. She has the clothes on her back and pretty much nothing else. And she tends to vote Republican.

I hear ya but instead of fighting fire with fire, I would love to see all congressional democrats roll up their sleeves and fly down there and show those people that they aren’t afraid to help out people they don’t agree with.

I feel like this site wants someone to sign Keapernick so bad, it would blow it’s load all over the place if that happened.

World Series champions by MLB regular season rank in team pitching fWAR:

Well bud, you go right ahead and use your fancy stats. Pretty sure my anecdotal childhood memories are a better indicator of future predictions though.

Someone hasn’t just done a comparison of balls today to three or four years ago? Wouldn’t that take a half-decent lab like a week to figure out any differences?

Not gonna lie, you have no idea what you’re talking about. The Astros were not “tanking”. Baseball and basketball are two completely different sports, there is no such thing as a sure thing in the MLB draft and teams don’t lose on purpose to get a top pick, who, in the very small chance turns out to be an above…

To be a bit pedantic - it was a double dribble on that play. But yes, I agree.

I skip everything he “writes” for The Ringer. The rest of the site is exemplary. He’s its sole weak link.

it’s not a “sham charity”. All the donations are to non-profits, there is no evidence of quid pro quo, the donations are to organizations that are already part of his life. It’s not like his kids get into the school because of some charity, he is making a legal charitable donation to an organization in some way…

Point taken, but I can tell you that I lived in New England until last year and I never saw a Best Buddies ad without Tom Brady, and I never heard of them until Tom Brady became their spokesperson.

I can’t get too worked up about it. The money is going to a good cause. People can ask how the money will be spent and has been spent in the past.
