When reached for comment, Mayock requested permission to release Antonio Brown’s pocket but was denied.

This wasn’t the question exactly, but “smear the queer” makes for a really fun video game. In the early 2000's, it was a game mode in the NFL Street games called “Crush the Carrier”:

I’ll bet you could fit at least three more banner ads on this page. It's like you're not even trying. (This is for the ad ops team, obviously not the author.)

You’re probably right. I’m just thinking that maybe, at some point in his career, some nerd explained this to a rod and his teammates, and the idea felt like it sunk in at the time.

I hate myself for saying this, but I think he might have a small point. The jump in probability of winning from a two run lead to a three run lead is probably smaller than the jump from one to two. That would make sense, as trying to score a single run opens up more strategies (bunt, sac fly, etc).

Note to self: after you hit your 100 game parlay, buy the Colts, in the cover of night move them to Mexico where they belong, and erect a wall outside the stadium to keep Mike Pence out, DO NOT allow GM to trade multiple future first round picks for middling talent. 

No, because the 2013 49ers Saints game would have been flexed into Sunday Night Football. In prime time, the refs never would have called the phantom roughing the passer on Ahmad Brooks, and the 49ers would have played that NFC championship game at home.

Missing on the pick is bad, but falling victim to the sunk cost fallacy and holding onto a player that didn’t earn a spot is worse. Let me tell you a story about the 49ers and the butterfly that cost Kap, Aldon Smith, and Jim Harbaugh’s NFL jobs, and two of Michael Crabtree’s chains.

I like shitting on the Jets as much as the next sports handicapping robot, but this sounds like a good thing. They took a risk on a talented player with question marks, gave him a preseason, and cut him when it looked like it wasn’t working out.

On the one hand, fuck Jerry Jones.

You should be ashamed of yourself

Saved money on tackling dummies. 

This x100. Even if you’re a macho man and want 6 year olds to be doing Oklahoma drills, a big part of coaching youth sports is setting kids up for growth.

Do you all have any sort of noncompete that would be enforceable? I don’t think you’d be able to rival Deadspin in terms of traffic, but you guys probably aren’t keeping even 5% of the revenue the site generates anyway. You could pick up “whatisawhitesock.com” for $12, spend a couple hundred bucks on Fiverr getting…

Sorry if this is dumb, but I really have the same question. I don’t think I can take a shit without whipping my phone out and typing Deadspin (pure muscle memory), and I’d imagine this thing going out of business would be bad for the writers and staff, but I cringe at the thought of being part of the data that some…

Steve Wallace on the 49ers did this and it seemed to work.

Do you know why people are able to make a living playing poker? It isn’t because the best player will always win. It’s because the better players will win more often, but there is enough luck baked into it that the casual player can win once in a while.

Ha it took me a minute but now I can’t stop laughing. Thank you for your service.

My wife just bought a Ram this past weekend, and it was the huge discounts that sold it. She got a Laramie trim that stickers for just over $45k for ~$33k after doc fees and a spray-in bedliner. In that level trim (leather, butt coolers, etc.), we couldn’t have been close in price with a Chevy or Ford.
