Don’t be. This is part and parcel of what a smart commissioner does. Jeter and the owners are getting murdered in the press so Manfred will try to deflect some of that his way. Gary Bettman basically made this an artform, letting every stupid “How come you hate Canada” question come his way from all the radio hosts up…

Something important to note in all of this:

The, “I never asked to be a role model/hero/what have you” argument certainly feels like it should be salient, and it’s true, up to a point—sports figures of all stripes, traditional, e-sport, or otherwise, only ever asked for an opportunity to do what they do at a very high…

Just want to say thank you for all your work, especially your incredible investigative pieces year after year. Deadspin is a great place for dick jokes and making fun of Austin Rivers, but for me, no author’s byline here commands as much attention as yours.

Still better than the Starbucks backed REDSKONES.

Can Deadspin just start calling them the Washington Redhawks from now on?

Let’s go easy on the new Jags fans.

Ye gods, Adams’ reverse-spin move was fantastic.

-1 for “half field” (ughh) but +2 for “Ashley Williams (who is still butt)”

Remember, Aqib Talib is an anagram for “IQ lab bait”
