Are you actually kidding about with this question about him playing baseball instead of football?! From a website that focuses so much on the concussion risk and screw job that is the current CBA in the NFL this is some straight hypocrisy.

Yeah I’m confused. Wasn’t the NFL the worst, NFL owners demons and the game of itself a literal bone crushing machine that will give you CTE? And now it’s cool? I mean I know baseball doesn’t have it problems but I figure if there was any place where it would be making the argument against the NFL it would be here and…

If ESPN is eating its own poop by covering this non-story breathlessly, what is Deadspin doing by covering the story of the non-story breathlessly? Feels like some Human Centipede action going down (which means that by me pointing this out, I have now joined in and I regret all my choices).

You realize that the increase in standards of living bit and the parts of the Earth may be uninhabitable in 20 years bit are related, right?

Not quite right. Human longevity at this point is held back by a couple of major stumbling blocks we can expect will defeated by science during our lifetimes - cancer, natural aging - and therefore we can expect the life expectancy of people with access to first-class medical care to increase dramatically. We will…

Im not afraid of Ben Simmons either. But you know who I am afraid of? Kevin fucking spacey. Jesus that video still creeps me out.

I think you are referring to the dead letters recently posted.  And if I recall, it was Lauren and she was referring to the first time she did a dead letters and Drew mentioned *back then* that she was doing it right if she received those types of emails...sorry to rain on your parade, I initially read it the same way…

I feel bad for Daniel but this is tremendous content. 

I think overall athlete improvement happens even faster than we realize.

Yes.

Dude looks like if Jason Statham went on a diet where he was only allowed to eat quality USMNT wins

It’s not the battery percentage that’s concerning, it’s the 73 tabs on a mobile browser

“Well, I believe in the soul, the knob, the quim, the swell of a bird’s arse, the curling free kick, bangers and mash, brown ale, that the novels of Jane Austen are self-indulgent poorly-edited bunk. I believe Jack the Ripper never left a note. I believe their ought to be an Act of Parliament outlawing Omniturf and…

This is all made up. You can’t convince me that this was a real podcast. 

This is what middle managers think smart people sound like.

Pretty hypocritical of Deadspin to write about CTE and then get angry about safety in a football game.
