In other totally accurate news that is not at all borne of people trying to scoop each other, the 2023 Reds have accepted President Chris Rock’s invitation to the Black House to celebrate their World Championship over Las Vegas. Winning pitcher and Center Fielder Hunter Greene is reportedly very excited to meet not…

I for one will be disappointed if Golden State chooses not to go to Washington. Opportunities like this come along once in a lifetime, if that. I think the Warriors, provided they receive an invitation, had better think long and hard about how to respond. It is a personal meeting with the Goddamn President of the…

He should be able to get a job. He served his time. The sex offender registry is draconian and does not make us safer as a society.

i have hard time blocking someone’s adult career choices for the monster they were during puberty. what he did was absolutely atrocious and he should be in counseling for life, but he was a teen and i believe in rehabilitation over retribution especially for crimes committed so young. plus shoving people like him into…

At what point is a person reformed and deserving of a second chance?

I thought I could cling in to the notion of the Blackhawks being the best team of the decade a bit longer. That Pittsburg franchise is something else...

After what we just saw from Crosby I’m really excited that in just two weeks we’ll all get the chance to pretend that McDavid was the most valuable player in the league this year.

If Letang were healthy this team would have been frighteningly good.

how far could you punt the football?

Is it just me, or is Jeff Samrdzija high on everyone’s list of Baseball People it Would Probably Feel Good to Punch in the Face?

Worse than this goes on at the line of scrimmage on literally every single down in football. And I shudder to think what your take on raking in rugby would be. Contact sports involve contact, sometimes even a bit of excessive contact. I love you, Deadspin, but this is absolutely nothing.

The Oregonian used inappropriate terms in their reporting. Heimlich was handled as a juvenile. He did not “plead guilty,” rather he made an “admission.” He was not “convicted,” but rather “found within the jurisdiction” of the juvenile court. These terms are important because a juvenile adjudication is a lot…

So I’m not justifying his behavior, but the timing of this story is suspiciousos. The Oregonian admits they had this information for 2 months, but releases it a day before the super regional? Why not release it back in April when they found out?

I don’t think it’s “complaining” so much as OSU had a convicted molester on their team for years, and it’s definitely startling, disturbing news. He went through the due process, so that part is over — it’s not like Michigan State and Baylor pending suits — so it will be up to both the university and the MLB…

Per DOJ, within five years of release, about three-quarters (76.6 percent) of ALL released prisoners were rearrested.

As a parent this is my worst nightmare. But, if he completed his sentence, are we complaining about the sentence being too short/weak or are we basically giving up on people being able to rehabilitate themselves and living their lives. Even teenagers.

Where does he belong?

I’m generally against the Scarlet Lettering of criminals. Why isn’t there a murder registry or a shoplifting registry? Jean Valjean wants to know.

He was a minor
