Look at fancy city boy here with his sky rises and “balconies”. Back in my day we were lucky to have a porch on the first floor. My pappy’s porch was in the basement, and we were happy to have it.

Top stuff, great article!

I fucking love that Deadspin has fascinating and well-written articles like these, where when you read the headline you momentarily wonder if it’s just a randomly generated string of words, and then you realize that no, there really were two Kentucky farmers that became kings of croquet.

Scott changes his surname to Noir and he and Virtue become crime-solving private maple syrup detectives in Quebec.

Not necessarily...

The fucking was IN THE ROOM THE ENTIRE TIME!

I love me a dose of morning salt.

evidently having taken his eight-game suspension to heart.

Tessa has Virtue but Scott wants Moir.

It’s insane to me that in the year of our Lord 2019 we’re still having “Cam Newton is selfish” conversations. The guy has had no offensive line, no noteworthy receivers, and a platoon of overrated running backs basically ever since he came in the league, and has muscled them to numerous playoff berths and a Super Bowl.

We’ve had two teams - Detroit Lions, Cleveland Browns - go 0-16 in a season and the Browns just recently pulled off a 1-31 two-year stinkfest. I was going to jump in with the worst ever team - the 1976-77 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, ah the Yucs - but you said no expansion teams so they miss the cut.

it WAS. Now the symbol has been co-opted by Antifa, which has caused a lot of violence and property damage here in Portland. It’s similar to how white supremacist groups have co-opted the Betsy Ross flag. In fact, some fans were rightfully ejected from a Real Salt Lake match recently for displaying that flag. 

As a Timbers fan I can say we do not have a white supremacist problem at Providence Park. What we have is a Timbers Army leadership that now thinks they’re bigger than the game, and sees “fascists” everywhere. Yes, we have a couple of idiot racist groups in Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer who travel to Portland to cause…

Vinatieri’s great(?)-grandfather was an immigrant from Italy and the band master for the Seventh Cavalry. Custer decided no to bring his band with him on his expedition that ended at Little Big Horn. Luckily for the Pats and Colts...

Where’s Blair Walsh these days?

To get an idea of how much kickers are paid, his career earnings after 24 seasons are right at $51m.

So, Indy will cut him and New England will pick him up a day later. He’ll go on to have the best season of his career topped off with kicking a Super Bowl game-winner, and we’ll all die just a little more inside.

We all would have said the same thing about Morten Anderson, but they kept passing on him for more than a decade after he was eligible

Is Vinatieri the first kicker who is absolutely, for sure a bonafide first ballot Hall of Famer? There’s a part of me that goes “the NFL HOF voting braintrust will find some reason to not want a kicker to get in the first time he’s eligible”...but he’s Adam fuckin’ Vinatieri. This is as close to a slam dunk first…

hey indy, i hear Cody Parkey is still looking for a job
