How often do you bust out that event reference in conversation? “This sales pitch reminds me of the Ljubljana Marshes hot air balloon crash of 2012, in that it is full of hot air and will almost certainly lead to six deaths.”

Enjoy your star for making me look that up and confirming that yes, that is a real thing and a hell of a deep cut.

Which is ironic in its way, because this decision is as apolitical as decisions get. ESPN is not liberal, and it’s not conservative; it’s a massive company with no political beliefs beyond damage control. Someone had the idea of switching Lee off the UVa game not because they thought it would be offensive, but…

How dare deadspin publish a post by Mr. Petchesky, with his slavic sounding name, on this, the 5th anniversary of the Ljubljana Marshes hot air balloon crash in Slovenia. I am aghast at the insensitivity.

I’ll have you know I waste time in myriad ways-putting crap on my face is just one of them, and it’s nowhere close to being the most frivolous.

I laughed at Drew’s scenario about 69 people drowning on a sinking ferry. Like, it’s messed up and would be a tragedy but seeing that “Nice,” made me giggle at my desk. I’m a bad person.

There have been some horrendous takes in the questions of this column over the years, but “corn on the cob is bad” is among the worst. Fuck you, dude. Corn on the cob is the shit.

Or just stop caring what random people think of you, especially since you likely won’t ever talk to/see them again.

Counterpoint: Dressing nicely might score you a free upgrade (but very likely won’t), while dressing comfortably is a sure bet.

We never got to see Mark Ruffalo’s dick either

Back in my day, players didn’t need coddling. Hell, that little league pitcher Danny Almonte wouldn’t even drive his children on the team for ice cream after losses.

Yeah, Rick Manning (the color guy) can be a real dolt. And he doesn’t have great chemistry with his play-by-play partner Matt Underwood. They’ve been better this year than in past years (they’re absolutely brutal to listen to when the team is having a bad season). Underwood actually has one of the worst homerun calls…

Not to break the poignancy of the moment, but...it’s not like they’ve given you a lot of options.....

I am a white male and a Marine Corps combat veteran. I have been a Browns fan all my life.

Car batteries.

And his supermom, has, no question, had to eat a ton of shit and fend off a ton of grope entitled assholes in her life—she just didn’t tell her kid about it.

I hate it when men respond to these stories with anecdotes about the women in their life who took no shit. You can be a quick-thinking badass and still freeze in situations where you’re being assaulted. It has nothing to do with how strong, smart or brave you are.

I had almost this exact thing happen to me on my 21st birthday. I went to a bar (stone-cold sober! not that it fucking matters), was about to order a drink, and then I felt someone’s hand reach up my dress (a modest t-shirt dress, again, not that it fucking matters), grab my bare ass cheek, and give it a long, solid…

I like that they tried to make the fact that she acted like a professional after the fact some indication that she didn’t mind. Look at the picture. She’s a fucking pro. This guy’s scum.

The first couple of milliseconds, I thought it must be a mistake
