To be clear — UT Austin has no standing to offer her admissions to another UT school. She would have had to have applied and gotten in to that UT campus, and had she done so and achieved certain standards she could have transferred to UT-Austin.

I’m a historian and so want to take issue with the presentism I’m hearing everywhere about this game: The worst loss in England history? I’m thinking of a game in the 1950 World Cup that is worse by about any measure. And the loss to Croatia leading to not qualifying for EURO 2008? Pretty bad as well.

Midtown might be worth your time. Is it worth an NBA player’s time?

There is lot more money in track and field than you think. There is a world outside of the US where these guys are superstars. This guy was screwed in a sense because he emerged so quickly. A world-class track and field athlete can easily become a millionaire.

Is spending money to win inefficient if it comes back to you in other ways? Plus, efficiency is great in a vacuum, but what we have in the NBA is two years where the Warriors and Golden State both went to the Finals, each winning once, and the early iteration of LeBron’s Cavs also doing quite well. Efficiency is a…

That doesn’t gibe with the statistics I am seeing where Chicago’s rates have been reported but are simply not as high as the Chiraq narrative would have you believe (even if the rate is still high and the raw numbers are appalling). Plus, the fact that we have East Chicago and Chicago Heights indicates that…

And Harvey, Illinois is #20.

Yep. In 2015 the #1 murder rate was East St. Louis, the #3 was St. Louis. (Weird: Chester PA#2). Chicago Proper not on list, though East Chicago checks in at #26, Chicago Heights at #30.

Yep. I think the Warriors have done a very good job and deserve plenty of credit. But probably no more, and in some cases less, than many of the teams we’ve mentioned here. And even a team like the Lakers can say “look, let’s consider the long haul. This league wasn’t invented yesterday and we’ll be back, because we…

Yeah — I like the Warriors and do think they have a great team and a solid plan. But I’m not convinced, depending on when we’re starting the clock, that they are a truly superior franchise (a term that implies a certain level of history and continuity) than the Celtics either. It’s quite snotty to say it’s “not even…

Really? It’s not even close? The Spurs might quibble with that.

Steve Nash?

And I already conceded as much.

So I’m not doing it right. Fair enough. I blame FS1.

Ha it’s funny because calling him a girl reduces him. Am I doing it right?

Aaaaaand ... we’ve reached peak Deadspin trying way too hard to create a thing.

I like them. I’m 45, likely (God, I hope) in between the age of many of the Deadpan writers and their parents. I think one of the things I like about them is that they (if new, obviously) will look good in ten years — so many shoes, clothes, what have you get stuck in their era. I like fairly plain white sneaks. So…

Forgive me for accusing this piece of smugness based on the correctness of hindsight, but this piece seems full of smugness based on the correctness of hindsight.

Don’t sell yourself, or rugby, short. I guarantee you’ve ended up with your share of damp squibs.

In Soccernomics they made the argument (not just out of their ass, but using facts and stuff) that your typical suburban grocery store runs through more money in a year than Manchester United. This is part of an argument that basically we think of sports teams as massive businesses, and yet more accurately they are…
