What you call pampering some might call “a boss trying to make his black employees comfortable in the whitest major city in America.”

There was a time when I might have said Milos Forman was my favorite director (I was borderline obsessed with Amadeus), and yet somehow I never even considered this. My only concern is that Forman hasn’t made a good movie in almost 20 years, so he may be out of his prime, so to speak. But that’s a damn good choice.

With Yao Ming going into the NBA Hall of Fame this year, this seems like a good time to say that Emma’s article on Yao from about five years ago is still the best basketball post Deadspin has ever run. That article was the reason I started reading Deadspin.

Since all of us (okay, most of us) agree that Zack Snyder is bad and he should feel bad, who would be a good Superman director?

Blake Griffin crawling on his hands and knees with Ilana on his back and saying “I’m so close” made me laugh so hard I almost choked.

This is by far the best debate around any sports movie. I think she dropped it on purpose, but there are great arguments for both sides.

Bringing Up Baby is so, so damn good.

I find that usually the people who say “be loud! You’re part of the problem!” are the people who can afford to be loud because they’re in situations where being loud isn’t as dangerous. It’s similar to Susan Sarandon suggesting that Trump might be a better option as president. It’s easy for her to say that because…

Emma Carmichael wrote a piece on Yao Ming a few years back that remains one of my favorite articles Deadspin has posted.

The Royals would be such a likable team if they weren’t such whiny bitches. They’re a young, fast team and I love their style of play, but man... shut the fuck up. You won the World Series and you get to celebrate on opening day in front of the team you beat, which almost never happens. That’s your “revenge” for a…

Oops. It definitely was his slider. My bad.

In his first season back from Tommy John surgery, Harvey posted a 2.71 ERA, with 188 strike outs and a 1.019 WHIP. And he did all that without his splitter, which is probably his second best pitch. His splitter is back now, and reportedly it’s looked great this Spring.

“She’s a Super Freak! Super Freak! She’s Super Freaky!!”

“You’re never going to see another candidate like him - that has the support of the people like he does - in your lifetime.”

Whenever someone who isn’t into hip hop asks me what they should listen to first, I always say A Tribe Called Quest. In my opinion, ATCQ is the most accessible act hip hop has ever produced. They somehow manage to be incredibly intelligent while still being so easy and fun to listen to. It’s a balance so few people…

Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any sports movie that I’d say is definitely better. You’re right.

Sugar might be the best baseball movie I’ve ever seen.

The only men that short who could so easily get away with that much sexual bravado were Phife and Prince. I really can’t think of anyone else.

“Coming with more hits than the Braves and the Yankees, living mad phat like an oversized mampi”

I have two major takeaways from this:
