Well, sure, but you have to separate the two different things you’re talking about. Clutch situations exist, and clutch performance exists — certain players do produce more often in those situations, for any of a variety of reasons (luck, small sample size, “grit,” whatever).

They’re not entirely the same thing, though.

Fishing this out of the deep memory banks ... I seem to recall there was a right-handed 1B in MLB during the ’80s who wanted to hold the runner with his left foot on the bag and his right foot in foul territory, but he abandoned it after he was warned by the league to knock it off.

“Fired getting is someone”? I don’t understand.

I’m aware of this. But there’s no reason to include the heading for the subsequent section in the first place. Including the heading at all makes it seem as though it’s supposed to be grouped with the preceding matter; highlighting it by saying “emphasis as it appears in the filing” makes it seem as though it’s…

The whole thing with the PA announcer doing play-by-play just reeks of bad sports movie.

One of my ex-girlfriend’s younger brothers was (until recently, it appears) a referee in this league. #RandomFacts

I’m not going to ascribe such a motive to Ms. Moskovitz absent further evidence, but I certainly felt that the net effect was misleading, which is why I pointed it out.

I would love for Ms. Moskovitz to correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the sentence you’re referring to was edited to include that fact as clarification.

Kinsman has made the False Statements in an effort to cause damage to Mr. Winston’s reputation and to coerce and extort him to give her money and “make her go away.” Ms. Kinsman was aware that Mr. Winston was likely to earn a substantial amount of money in salary, bonuses, and endorsements as a professional NFL…

That guy gives me a headache.

Thus giving Kuiper a career total of two bombs.

Fully convinced at this point that B2THEC is a troll account.

This video doesn’t even include the coast-to-coast reverse layup (off a turnover) he kissed off the glass while being fouled by Anthony Davis just before halftime of Game 1 against the Pelicans in the first round. An amazing basket, made with one of the NBA’s elite big-man defenders draped over him like a cape.

While driving to his left, he uses his left hand to dribble the ball between his legs from front to back and back to his left hand. Westbrook, who sees the ball behind Curry momentarily, sets his feet and goes for the steal, and Curry just shoots right past him despite Westbrook fouling him with his right arm (no…

Dump the irony and I’m right there with you.

You are correct, my friend. Ignore these other morons.

That’s like the most inept thing in the history of ept.

In the Giants game, the infield was shifted hard toward right field, with 2B Joe Panik playing short right field. As a result, the closest fielder was actually 1B Brandon Belt. I wonder if it was recorded properly on the official scoresheet.

Deadspin’s office is in NYC.
