If the writers want people to continue to mention it, then I’m wrong. I just saw it as yelling into the void. But I defer to the folks who work at these sites.

Only if you assume the writers agree with the policy, which I doubt they do. Hell, Lifehacker recently posted a “best browsers to block inline videos/ads” post last week (the week before?) which to me was a direct shot across the bow at the dumbasses who run G/O...

It seems like the writers aren’t being consulted too much by the morons upstairs. Did you read Megan’s blast on the way out the door? 

Listen, I agree with the sentiment, but why do folks think the G/O dickwads are reading the comments at all? I’m hard pressed to believe they have even visited Deadspin, based on the ridiculous staff requirements that were leaked...

Now playing

All this coverage on Deadspin of the Bears shitting themselves makes me feel like

Rrrright, there are no scholarships available besides athletics. And no coaches push their players to take the easiest classes possible. But even still, only someone who doesn’t understand economics would think a scholarship equals the value that a 3 star recruit or higher brings to the team.

Remember when people thought Nagy was a genius? And Trubisky was on his way to bring a good QB?

I initially misread USWNT as USMNT and got really excited that Berhalter had been shitcanned. Oh well...

The mistake was not having all of the students say “I am free labor” and then ending with Barry Odom ($3.05 million) and Cuonzo Martin ($3 million) laughing...

Another way for people to make money off of free labor.

you poor bastards, at least there’s comfort in knowing it’ll all be over soon.

I have an even easier trick to see who wrote the article--the byline!

I’ve never been a Buck hater. But I can’t fucking stand Smoltz. The guy is grindy/unwritten rules defender/analytics aren’t REAL BASEBAW that it makes my eyes roll out of my head every game...

First time reading a Ratto column?

The most popular variant of Yiddish is based off of German so that makes sense.

You are talking about a different issue. I would encourage you to read the book, because it’s very good (even if there’s too much Trevor Bauer in there). Obviously development is a big part of analytics, but also about finding small adjustments that could make mediocre players better while keeping their contracts down
