(wow, you can enjoy something [watching football] AND still be critical about some facets of it [how fucked up NFL handles anything and everything]? Get the fuck outta here).

You too. Comparing Carl from ATF to idiot NFL fans defending the league is offensive to Carl.

Harvey’s mechanic informed him his Escalade shouldn’t be driven for more than 18,000 miles this year or he could re-tear the brake cable that was repaired in 2013. Then his Uber got stuck in traffic.

Who the hell has ever refered to Cholera as a historic American tradition?

For all the bullshit the NFL spews out, it seems Deadspin people will still defend it tooth and nail when compared to baseball. I don’t like those people.

What’s the difference between a starter on the Dolphins and a member of the practice squad? Only one has held a trophy in the last 40 years.

That’s gotta hurt.
Costanza Out

Actually, you’ve not applied any logic at all. Read up on sample size. A player with 8 career homeruns in 600+ plate appearances and .650 OPS is considered shitty by major league baseball standards. Even shitty players don’t go 0 for 600. The Cardinals lost to the reds 11-0 in September, again, they are not a shitty…

Fair opinion. Some of us enjoy the MLB because it lacks the ridiculousness of the NFL or NBA, so I respectfully disagree.

I don’t disagree that it is generally a bad idea for IBB, but that is not my point. My point is that the Twins manager, whether you agree with it or not, felt it was the best decision to help his team win. He will continue to push those buttons until there are 3 outs in the 9th inning.

99% is not 100%. It means one in one hundred times they will not win. Are you saying a manger should stop making moves when the chances to win are low? What specific % chance to win do you approve the manager stopping to do their job?

So your argument is that it is MORE appropriate to be showboating in a 10-1 game than say in a 3-2 game?

A manager shouting an an opposing nobody player who is showboating a homerum in a game that wasn’t close is intended to fire up his team, not enforce “the integrity of the game”. I really enjoy DeadSpin’s articles but I just don’t understand the self righteous critique of baseball’s unwritten rules. Some of us…

Announcer: “I think it went over the fence and then got thrown back in by the cardinals bullpen”

What in living hell are you typing about? How do you conflate passing a law allowing trans people to pee where they want with enabling sexual assault?

Why is Daily Fantasy so much more grey than yearly fantasy? Because there is more $ involved, because the house takes more off the top, or something else?

I think the math is way off? 8x20,000 is still a healthy 160K but not a seven figure salary.

Who is Matt Matheny?

Wow. “..declined to prosecute Johnson, saying the case did not meet the agency’s threshold of “reasonable likelihood of conviction.”
