The color commentators have a history of missing legs.

At least the Red Sox chose a brand to honor Ted Williams at the same time.

On the other hand, Turner actually looked like a good and cool bell.

And to your credit, you repeatedly used words like that in the post. You did not sugarcoat or glorify this event at all. That's what made me even think about making the comment.

I would feel conflicted about covering MMA in pretty much any circumstance other than this one, where the story is that MMA is brutal and dangerous.

I appreciate the reply, Chris. I am really not trying to be combative or antagonistic this time. I bet some of you are also conflicted about covering sports like MMA.

We’ve got people here who enjoy and follow and write about fighting sports, and we’ve got people here who enjoy and follow and write about football. For my part, I hope the sum of our coverage of those sports gains us enough credibility with fans that our criticisms stand some chance of breaking through. Just…

Serious question, not trolling. Deadspin has been very active in promoting player safety in a variety of sports. How do you square that with covering a blood sport like this? To me, even watching the NFL can be problematic because of the risk of injury, especially head injury, and my enjoyment of big hits in football…

Passed balls by definition are on the catcher.  Wild pitches on the pitcher.  I know that’s not what you meant, but I’ve already typed this far....

FYI it’s apparently some troll that continuously harasses the real Mr Lizardo, they just get banned and subtly change their username (ie. the extra ‘io’ in the username). Must be a lonely existence for that idiot. Just report them for harassment, clearly that’s what they want.

That’s not fair. If the animals don’t get sticks and rocks the people shouldn’t either.

Obviously I’m referring to what he popularly/normally has looked like, you nudnik—slimmer and clean-shaven, and perhaps with shorter hair.

I see it now but come on, his face is fat and furry in this. It’s not EXACTLY.

I know the various GMG sites are renown for their horrible food takes, but any ranking that has Sour Patch Kids and Sour Skittles as “Losers” is right up there with the worst of the worst food takes.

surprised not to see Better Oblivion Community Center anywhere here, as far as the wave of indie folk stuff with which Phoebe Bridgers is either largely or tangentially involved (yes that’s basically a genre unto itself at this point) I think it’s the clear best. “Dylan Thomas” and “Service Road” get spins every other…
