Yep. It’s sad when Barstool fanboys bring up Barry’s old rape joke comments like they’re some kind of gotcha. Yes, Deadspin used to be shitty (I mean, I was part of the shittiness and chuckled at the “yes no yes yes no no yes” comments) but it’s gotten considerably less shittier, because that’s what well-intentioned…

Okay Mister Australia-Knower, when you logged onto the internet today, did you dial up clockwise or counterclockwise?

And I always thought Bogut was more of an Antifa(ried)

will have to receive a letter of clearance from the Sydney Kings

So dumb and sad. I wish everyone involved in the justice system could watch this video and realize how stupid we are about consent

Yup. Like, with murder or assault, you just have to prove that this thing happened. But with rape/sexual assault, you have to prove something that only the people who were there, usually in the privacy of a bedroom, know didn’t happen.

He seems like those Minnesota Nice folks who, not to be a bother, but ask sports culture websites to stick to sports and keep the politics out, if that’s okay with them, thank you, thought he should ask.

“I would bet my life your wife is fucking ugly” is such a weird insult/signoff. I mean, there are few things worth dying for, but the attractiveness of a total stranger’s spouse?

I have no clue how to accurately measure a college basketball player’s Q rating

I vaguely know that Mike Trout looks like the scary looking but friendly bouncer at a bar in a newly hip part of town.

You know, baseball stars used to have big personalities too. Then baseball spent the last 20 years convincing us that baseball players are overpaid druggies who don’t contribute to their teams.

A group of about 30 suburban tween girls did a jump rope routine at a Wizards game halftime or quarter break, I don’t remember, but I appreciated the imperfect yet still very well coordinated and impressive performance.

It’s fast and easy. Look, I don’t think Kraft is exactly price shopping. What difference does it make to a millionaire if he drops $5,000 on a girlfriend experience. But there’s a lot of hoops to jump through to go through an escort agency, and what if the girl wants to talk after or she reminds him of his girlfriend…

I think the recent fallout from FOSTA-SESTA tells you that the availability of safe, voluntary prostitution does make a difference. It’s anecdotal (though that’s mostly because it’s hard to collect data on an illegal industry), but sex workers have reported that without Backpage, it’s near impossible for customers to…

Chuckle out loud  

Exactly! Thank you! The most exquisite financial collapse!

Sure, it wouldn’t go to zero, but it would really affect the profitability—even if it’s cheap, the cost of trafficking does exist and has to be weighed against the revenue.

Nobody’s perfect. Who among us hasn’t made a single mistake. Why are we getting worked up over something in the past? Would you like it if we went around reporting things you did when you were 77 years old?

If a station charges an extra credit card fee, they’re shady as hell.

I’m thinking overseeing a workplace with a seriously fucked culture of sexual harassment is a bigger liability than the boss guy getting booked for something equivalent to carrying a small amount of weed.
