Fair enough. I was reading his reply as if it were coming from me ("why is this itemized on the receipt and not baked into the menu price?"), not the more likely "thanks Obama".

I’m with Darren here. I’ve seen a few restaurants pull this bullshit- there’s a chicken place in California that has a “California cost of business fee”.

There are MANY other horse sports in which thoroughbreds excel, so ending racing wouldn’t eliminate the desire for the breed. In that sense, it’s a bit different from greyhounds, as there are careers working TBs can thrive and dominate in outside of racing. And thank god for the fact that TBs are such athletes,…

or sit out an entire year like Le’Veon Bell did.

As I see it, there are three alternatives:

Ya know, after spending way too much time on this,
I said ‘Fuck it-no one will look at it anyway.’

How to preface this? I’m a life long progressive who fully agrees with everything he’s laying down BUT I understand why ESPN is going the route it is. There are lots of avenues for political discourse already in use. If Tim Tebow was on ESPN and was pushing anti-abortion and far right religious preachings would any of…

Sorry Deadspin, but in the US soccer world, ur only slightly better than TMZ.

sometimes i’d rather have the occasional horse shit call in soccer than wait 5 minutes after every single goal to review if a player was 8 inches offside or a bit of contact was made but went unseen.

Hmmm.... they look like coffee cup warmers....

Of course they’re not as good as a real vacuum. The utility depends on how often your house is normally vacuumed. Before I had a robo-vac, my place would get vacuumed once a week. Now it is vacuumed every day. It is on average far cleaner than it was before. We still do a deep clean once a month which includes a…

Mayogary’s?

Ahem.

How is a personal choice to engage in an activity at-will and at any time for as little or as much as one chooses exploitation?

What are the costs of handling cash? Employee theft. Extra security. Having to go make bank deposits every night. I don’t want to have to pay for that shit if I’m charging my meal.

Just no. Let the guy try to get a no hitter. This is the lamest shit ever

This point cannot be underscored enough. I worked with a ton of men’s athletic teams during my college coaching and admin career. Without a doubt, the conduct of the coaching staff almost always dictated how the players treated me as well. If the head coach and the rest of the staff were respectful, the players…

Look, I come to Deadspin for (among other things) the righteous takedowns of media outlets and figures for their hypocrisy and bullshit... but I kinda think you’re looking for something to get angry about here and missing the point.

People knew that the rich bought their way into the elite schools; I think the shock is the use of a middleman, elaborate cheating schemes, and bribing what is effectively the “middle-management” at the colleges rather than just paying for a new library. After all, Yale could use an international airport.

How do you know his kids aren’t wealthy Japanese execs?
