I read/listened to a lot of his stuff a few years ago, but ever since he left ESPN either he’s turned to shit or I’ve grown up (as much as a Deadspin reader can). He probably needed ESPN’s structure more than he realizes.

BILL HICKS?!?

Why would the NBA do ANYTHING to Rose until he’s been found guilty? what the hell kind of journalist suggests otherwise? if the NBA did anything prior to a conviction, it would be insanity across the league. Accusers would come out of the wood work and players could face suspensions even if they aren’t convicted. Why…

Rolling Stone should maybe stick to writing about music for a while, Matt Taibbi, excepted.

Love is relative.

And everyone who now comes and says “That’s how the gaming industry works, you can’t do it any other way” and the other usual bullshit, please be reminded of this study published last year in The Lancet

I had to squint to see it, but apparently the same author wrote If God Loves me, Why Can’t I Get My Locker Open. I know what I’m asking for for X-Mas.

The problem I have with this, and most NFL articles on Deadspin, is the stunning lack of football knowledge by the author(s).

ODB (I know everyone’s calling him OBJ now; I reject it) said last week that he would be willing to switch over to safety, because, and I’m paraphrasing so closely it’s almost a quote, there are fewer rules on defense.
