“Snyder and superheroes don’t mix well.”

“I didn’t know NFL teams had homecoming games,” he said. “I thought that was a high school thing.” 

Fans might take the game more seriously if it weren’t being called Snyder-Man: Homecoming

I agree that Sonnett was brought for “chemistry” reasons, but so was Allie Long. How many of the players’ besties get a free ride next go around? Because Casey Short has friends on the team and I’ll just never get over this goddammit. Sigh. I dont even think Sonnett is the best defender on the Thorns. And she can…

This is an intense and well-written story, the exact type of stuff that nobody but Deadspin is doing.

I assume you mean Carli was the 36 year old in that sentence. 

I do believe, that was the joke.

Cancel culture is not actually a thing. Woody Allen still makes movies. Michael Jackson’s tour would have made a bajillion dollars had he lived to perform it. Louis CK is already doing standup again. Trump is still President.

So a 45 year old dude in the front office had a 27 year old member of the team paying for drugs which he muled for the two. What is the over/under on employees in the Angels organization who knew this or heard rumors of this? 30? 40? 

He's a rich white guy in America being held accountable for his actions. Of course he's going to feel aggrieved. 

Tough to be an MLB pitching coach when you refuse to work with lefties.

Glasnow picked the worst possible time to adopt glasnost.

Ugh that Spirit team should’ve won. I’m still mad. Thanks for including them...I love you?

???  That’s exactly what they are for.  To put with your keys.  What do you mean by “Buy into the Tile System”?  This is not a subscription.  You pay what it costs and replace the battery as needed.
