Agree 1000%. Suter has regularly been tossing 2-3 innings of late yet gets pulled after 1 because he was “shaky” in Counsell’s postgame words, while Hader gets seemingly unlimited rope even tho it’s clear from the start that he didn’t have it last night. I like Counsell as much as anyone but he never seems to take any…

“While spearheading a movement to get young black kids away from gangs isn’t inherently evil”

With all due respect, I’ve never understood why journalism is held out by some people (journalists) as this holier than thou profession. I think the state of the newspaper business has confirmed that nobody else believes it is or even much cares. 

Per 1) Chris, you just said it’s far enough along in the season to say he’s having a bad season.

If sports are so bad for the world why are you a sportswriter? 

I mean, if we just take Jimmy at his word (crazy, I know), isn’t this exactly why he wants out of MN? Because KAT is lazy and unmotivated? He sure sucked in the playoffs.

I’ve never understood why it’s the NCAA that is perceived poorly and the NBA somehow eludes scorn in the whole college basketball mess. It’s the NBA’s own rule that keeps the best players from going pro and getting paid!! Why would we need this G League silliness as a means to compensating these players, we already…

Well, that football player’s NOT taking the only deal that allows him to play football now, so is it really such a mystery for the ages?

Um, is it really that crazy to think his “teammates” are just disappointed that he’s bailing on the team so as to benefit himself? I think football is a team sport. Football is still a team sport, right Johnny??

Jesus, the guy just died. If you didn’t like him that’s fine. But then go complain about something else and leave the dead guy alone. This is sad even by Splinter/Deadspin “I still live in my parents basement” standards. Y’all r seriously wack.  

10 win season doesn’t really mean much when your schedule is packed year in / year out with 7 gimme’s. I just don’t understand how u get into the Badgers with the lame schedule they play. Other than maybe @Michigan and @Penn State this schedule is silly, as it is every year. 

Hahaha.... well put. Agreed 100%.

I don’t get it. All but the top 6-10 teams in every single pro sport are tanking. I mean, look at the NBA for cryin out loud. The Marlins have followed this same exact strategy to win not 1 but 2 world championships. That’s more than almost any other franchise in the last 20 years. Why all the hate?

The one and done rule is an NBA rule, not an NCAA rule!!

I mean this is silly, the headline of your article is about “roasting the NCAA” when they have nothing at all to do with the rule the nba put in place. I get that u think the NCAA is bad, but come on.

It’s not the NCAA’s one and done rule, it’s the NBA’s one and done rule. Why is SVG ragging on the NCAA when it’s his employer’s rule he’s complaining about? Has nothing to do with the NCAA. And why is Deadspin going along with that?

Again... sandy hook, San Bernardino, columbine, Orlando... I mean, I’m no genius but I think u lose a lot of credibility trying to pin this stuff on the guy currently sitting in the White House.

So... where was Steve’s concern about the government not caring about such shootings after Sandy Hook... Orlando... San Bernardino... has there been an 8 year presidential term that saw more horrific violence than Obamas’s?

Superhuman machine? Brady dropped a cupcake pass that was in his hands with nothing but green grass in front of him and then fumbled the ball at the most crucial point in the game. Dude, he was outplayed by Nick Foles.

So Albert, between u and McMahon, which one of u has already made multiple billions of dollars off of your crazy ideas and which one hasn’t? Sure the last one was a flop but given the whole of his track record I think you’re a little over the top here. Not everything revolves around politics.
