At the time, I thought Ertz should’ve taken a knee at the 1 yard line. Pats out of timeouts, run the ball 3 times then kick a FG with about 10 seconds left. Giving Brady the ball with that much time left could’ve been disastrous.

The gif that keeps on giving in layers of creepiness.

I don’t know. I don’t think it’s that weird. I do it all the time. Sure, some people think it’s weird but not everyone is a dog person.

Years ago when I started divesting from the NFL I decided to pick up EPL. I didn’t want to root for one of the powerhouses, so as I looked at all the teams I noticed something cool. There was a West Ham team, and I happened to live on West Hamburg St. God dammit, fuck this noise.

The same West Ham whose supporters like to mimic gas chamber noises when they play Spurs and made slant eye gestures at Son Heung-Min? Shocked, I tells ya.

Well when the head of the NCAA is made aware of this 8 years ago and shrugs his shoulders, it’s safe to say that the entire system is horrifically flawed.

At this point, it’s less “is my school’s Athletic Department scummy?” and more “just how scummy is my school’s Athletic Department?”

Obviously Deadspin isn’t the place that needs this said but while I’m happy if both guys get fired and MSU gets the death penalty we shouldn’t kid ourselves that this is anything other than the latest round of whack-a-mole when it comes to this. Whether it’s FSU or Penn State or Notre Dame or wherever we have enough

Uh, this isn’t about some nefarious faceless conspiracy of 90 year old implied baseball writers. The critical impediment to these guys’ entry are the veterans, not the BBWA, which is in the process of its own generational shift. In a lot of cases it’s the guys Clemens or Bonds knew as veteran players in their early

In my dreams.

I feel badly for these folks in the newspaper industry. It used to be a pretty respectable industry, both in terms of potential profits if you did your job well and in terms of respectability. It made for a good career.

Eat the rich.

The new movies acknowledge the prequels. Kylo Ren mentions a clone army in the first one and Luke briefly recounts the rise of Darth Sidious in the new one. There’s not a lot of reason to dwell on those events 50something years later, honestly.

“May God one day grant us all the self-assurance necessary to do whatever the real-life equivalent of joining a 73-win team is, and then proceed to lecture people about not working hard enough.”

This is America, where winning means you have to shove your ass in everyone’s face, then overturn even the most banal and popular of executive orders.

Nepotism isn’t just rife in sports. I work for a construction firm. I do damn near everything save for having the last word. My owner is old as dirt and still “runs” the company. Last year he was talking to me about retiring and what not. The only thing I remember is, “yeah when I leave you’ll be working for my

Given the world we live in, just be glad it’s not “Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs Charlie Weis Jr”

I just want to thank Arsene Wenger for his terrible man management, playing Oxlade-Chamberlain out of position and letting him run down his contract, making him a bargain at £35 million.

I’m sorry you didn’t understand the point the movie tried to make, as evidence by your complaint about the “female villains invariably being half-naked and eroticized”, but that’s hardly a failure of the movie when millions of others got it. Maybe you didn’t pay attention at key points of the movie?
