Fair enough. I think you’re getting so much flak because whether it’s technically correct here isn’t relevant.

Try searching twitter for “females” and let me know how you feel about it’s colloquial use as a noun. Its not a grammatical point so much as it is the type of person who will say “a female” instead of “a woman.”

Shhh. Don’t knock the physical comparison so much. If we can use as much fake hair and makeup as Trump does, maybe we can switch Daly in and put Trump in a closet somewhere. We just have to get him reeeaaaallllyyyy drunk before he plays golf on his Trumply golf outings so we don’t give it away.

I just had a bout of acute appendicitis and am headed for knee surgery Tuesday and this made me feel better.

I had what I was sure was an LCL/meniscus tear that turned out to be a nasty femur and patella bone bruise. It was “good news” that there was no structural or soft tissue damage. It would heal in 8ish weeks.

You have a single typo in an insightful internet comment. The man is paid ridiculous amounts of money to not fuck up names at scheduled press conferences. Enough said.

I hate when this happens because I can guarantee there are ten minority umpires who are amazing, and who knows what drives hiring and promoting. That said, there are some effing terrible white umpires not given this scrutiny. Let’s get with the 21st century and try for some quality umpires with lots of diversity.

So now showing what I see as actual grief for (at least) being involved in a man’s death is uncouth? Trying to make life seem “normal” by continuing with training and competition might seem callous, but its a coping mechanism. Being confronted breaks through the weak membranes of self-preservation (which include a…

I’ve stopped horse breeding and do mainly training now, but because it tends to be so dangerous for both the stallion and the mare, outside of the jockey club sensible breeders do artificial insemination. Doing it live and uncontrolled is legitimately dangerous for both horses and bothers me, but getting amusement…

Maybe it’s just great PR, but yeah I feel conflicted as well, and that includes excluding him from baseball (his obvious career). That doesn’t lessen my sympathy for he victim or horror for the act, but leaves me as conflicted on perpetrator of child sexual assault as I can remember.

I’m late to the party here (and really late to whatever party Tiger was at and how do I get invited?) but yes. You can take your Rx meds exactly as prescribed but if you can’t safely drive, shockingly it is not legal or ethical to drive. Given his years of crippling back pain and negative breathalyzer, I can’t avoid…

He didn’t vote. His protest has done enormously more good than a single vote, but that doesn’t mean you don’t vote. That’s sort of like saying a climate change summit is more important, so there’s no point in limiting how much you drive because it’s a drop in the bucket. I am still completely, and I mean completely,…

From teammates’ comments, he goes from that nutzo “on” mode where he stalks around the mound like a giant cat immediately to his teenage prankster but supportive attitude in the dugout in an instant. He has a switch. No doubt he is most likely certifiable on the mound, but he seems to be able to switch off with,…

As a scientist, I can only judge him for drinking energy drinks rather than coffee. Amateur.

Maybe, but eh, I like animals more than people, even primordial biting machines, almost as much as I like the overuse of commas and run-on sentences.

Art mimics life? Check. Only reluctantly and sadly, even for dystopian art.

I am about as unsentimental a person as I’ve encountered, including the “too soon” Deadspin commenters, to the point where I begin to wonder if I’m a socio and/or psychopath. Still, I understand that the living are allowed to feel sympathy and offense at the humiliation of the dead, be they animal or human. I’ve…

Deadspin has really given me enough exposure to gruesome leg injuries. I also spent yesterday in the ER with TWO family members, one of whom had had also broken her patella (ACL rupture on other side from two years ago) in addition to compound fracturing both her radius and ulna, so I’m quite good for now. Easter for…

You are perfectly entitled to your opinion, but claiming that the victims are “being taken care of” is certifiably false. Being the victim of sexual assault isn’t something one “takes care of.” It affects you for the rest of your life, and the PTSD from it is nothing to be trivialized. Ask my boyfriend who has to wake…

Is there something wrong with my phone? No matter what I do I can’t seem to get sound on this video.
