I do not speak for Deadspin but I just hate that stuff. It’s so gross and there are many better condiments!

As a lawyer (immigration, not criminal), I’ve interacted with many innocent people who pled guilty to things because their attorney advised them not to fight charges, since it would guarantee they didn’t spend any time in jail (which meant they could keep their jobs and suffer a minimum disruption of their lives).

Going to trial is a pretty huge risk, and what prosecutors will do is say if you insist on going to trial, they will charge you with every possible charge, seek the maximum sentence for each one you are convicted of, and seek consecutive, rather than concurrent sentences. Or you can take a plea deal for a lesser

You’re also a man who doesn’t understand the American legal system.

Well, I dunno, I hesitate to come down too hard on George for this. First of all, it’s not like defensive matchups in the NBA playoffs are determined by players calling out assignments—presumably, if Billy Donovan had wanted George defending Mitchell, he would’ve assigned George to Mitchell. I’m not gonna rip a

Wow.

If his prelude in #1000 was any indication, welcome to my personal hell. I love Miles and Ironheart (and a lot of Bendis’s other wonderful OC’s) but dear GOD did he lean into his old “let’s have literally every chatacter talk with the same cadence” BS. I do NOT have high hopes.

I do hate Bendis, but you are right, those aweful “Bendis is coming” ads in every comic made me scream every time “STOP THREATENING ME DC!!!”.

I lost my mom years ago, yeah. It’s never exactly easy, but most people get through it without losing their minds.

Oilers fan here. Why is everyone still playing? Doesn’t hockey normally end in March.

Whatever. Fuck that girl and fuck all those people. You aren’t allowed to feel joy. I hope she lost that puck on the way home. Hockey is stupid. I’m not mad, YOU are.

As funny as the spineless jokes are, Paul Ryan didn’t kowtow to Trump because he was a spineless coward. He did it because he knew that Trump could only be the useful idiot he needed to get his agenda passed if he was constantly placated. Keeping Trump’s ego nice and plump was simply a necessary precondition to

Deadspin sure likes to talk a big game and get on its high horse but deep down you know they’re just jealous of the way Barstool has disrupted the online game by...*checks notes* having pictures of girls in bikinis.

Dag you missed the entire point of the scorpion story. The scorpion stings the frog when they are halfway across the river. The frogs turns to the scorpion and says “Why would you do that, now we both going to drown “, the scorpion shrugs and says “Its just my nature”. The point is the frog foolishly believed the

I met him in Edmonton about a year after his young son died: he’d brought his family and a daughter’s friend to Calgary to visit his grandmother and then came up to the water park at West Edmonton Mall. It had been a goddamn tough year for him, his wife fighting her own cancer while his 3yo son was dying of brain

Not at all—one shudders to imagine the incomparable harm done by such a comparison. Oh, the harm! It’s just so...harmful!

I appreciate Thompson’s horror at the idea that a basketball writer might stoop so low as to compare two basketball players. Why, how dare he? Doesn’t this basketball writer know that both players are quite good, and that therefore there is nothing to be gained by comparing them? Why, you could compare any two players

Jeebus, don’t any of these guys know that isn’t how you’re supposed to behave in a workplace? You’re supposed to read Deadspin at your desk while quietly wondering what your life would have been like if you hadn’t gone to a party school.

This doesn’t square with the public image of Cubes at all.

True, but her family moves from, say, Spain, to Venezuela or Colombia or Argentina, she’s born there and BOOM - she’s no longer white.
