So, they just let you post drunk now, huh?

I don’t have a joke about this. I’m just genuinely uncomfortable with a Deadspin article that sides with “a few different hedge funds” and “Wall Street and media circles” over a dude just shitting in his own home

“No one’s arm is going to fall off”

As a Warriors fan, I’m glad that call was overturned. As an NBA fan, there is no FUCKING way that call should have been overturned, and the competition committee should be meeting RIGHT NOW to fix whatever idiotic rule they made that lets a block/charge call outside the restricted area be overturned. I would rather…

You’re reading something into this post that isn’t there. This doesn’t say “Matt Patricia shouldn’t have been hired.” It says “The Lions can’t claim ignorance of his past.” If they want to hire him despite his record, that’s fine! Just be clear that you took it into account.

Like you (like most people), I was raised by damaged parents, who shamed me from infancy for having needs that conflicted with theirs. So I totally understand why you believe that it is “hyper-sensitive” to say that you are hurt by someone else’s actions, especially if you don’t think they were intentionally hurtful.

I don’t know hockey at all, so this is a serious, no offense meant question: why don’t hockey teams use one of their actual players as emergency goalie, a la a shortstop pitching or a wide receiver playing QB? It seems like it would be better to have an actual pro athlete, even with a different skill set, than a…

I think all of the assessments here rely on the faulty assumption that Jared is standing in a normal posture. It helps to step back and look at the full picture. This isn’t a candid shot, this is a staged photo designed to focus on the baby. Jared is presumably bending backward at an awkward angle while trying to keep…

I played basketball in 6th and 7th grade without scoring a single point. At one point late in 7th grade the coach ran 3 consecutive plays where everybody got out of the way for me to shoot an uncontested shot from close range. I missed all three.

I feel like this could be a reply to literally any A.V. Club comment and it would still work.

I’m no lawyer, but I’ve been through HR training, I’m pretty sure you can’t ask someone if they’re gay in a job interview. Although that might depend on the jurisdiction you’re in.

Of course he owes us something. Not legally or anything, but when a creator puts a story out into the world it comes with an implicit promise that the story will eventually be completed. He doesn’t owe us any specific ending, any more than we’re owed an explanation as to what “really” happened to Tony Soprano. But the…

I agree that MLS needs fundamental change, but I don’t see any reason that promotion/relegation has to be part of that. The NBA doesn’t have it, and yet it seems to be doing fine at attracting and developing the world’s best talent. Moreover, practically speaking, the Man U./Barca/Bayerns of the world don’t really…

“did not exactly look like a natural act, especially not in the slo-mo replay”

Something something Markelle Fultz.

Love clarified that he had not, in fact, left the arena early. He was just playing defense and was therefore invisible.

Obviously he was hacked! Obviously, somebody cracked his password, posted a single link to a porn video, then signed out, leaving the password unchanged. What other explanation could there be?

While this injury is horrific, we can all take comfort in the fact that he won’t receive any compensation for it.

Well, these are two separate objections. Whether it’s physically, geographically viable, I have no idea. But if it’s not politically viable, well, so what? There’s nothing wrong with supporting a cause that isn’t politically viable. That’s politics.

I’m old enough to remember when trolling was considered a bad thing. That’s why we called it “trolling.” We thought it was clear that trolls were not anything anyone should aspire to be. And yet here we are.
