It’s good to have you back, sir. But it’s also nice to know that the Funbag and Deadcast are in good hands without you. Somehow your absence made me appreciate you AND the rest of the staff even more. Tim Marchman on the Deadcast has made me realize how much I miss him, but I also love Roth’s frustratingly rapid

I do care about ya, chief. I just want you to be okay.

Man, I legit feel bad for you.

The NBA puts on a hell of a show for the Super Bowl. Last year I was at the Pelicans - Wolves game in Minneapolis on the Saturday before. One of my buddies works for the NBA and hooked me up with tickets. It was awesome, sold out, some famous people were at that game (seeing Guy Fieri’s frosted tips will never not

I don’t have a clever, Deadspinny thing to say here, all the other commenters have that covered. It was great to read a Magary column. He’s an inordinate part of my media diet. And although I missed him every Tues and Thurs, it's worth noting that I was wasting as much time in his absence with all the other Deadspin

I hadn’t seen this before and now I want it as my ringtone.

Holy fucking shit, this is gold.

Let's Remember Some Guys Still in the League.

Jesus.
Harold.
Christ.

I’ll see you in hell.

You win.

Bruh. The entire media story this weekend is about how the Buzzfeed story is questionably sourced. There is no media outlet who is NOT running with that. Compare that to the Trump wagon train, forever encircled, which quintuples down on bullshit because they know the people they need to convince won’t believe anything

Take your damn star and get out.

WELP, now Wanksta is stuck in my head. Thanks.

As a kid, I never really had strong feelings about the McDonald’s characters the way I did about, say, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Chip ‘n Dale’s Rescue Rangers...but still, somehow the glass is shattered now and I can never go back. The world is a darker place today. I liked it better when I merely thought

Oh, VERY good point. Forgot about that. I’d like to see some stats about how this rule has changed points after an O rebound, on average.

He was there that night.

As a Sixers fan (living in Minneapolis), I’ve been looking for a post about the Sixers’ righteous 40 point kathwomping of the Wolves. Saw this headline, and I was like “What! The Sixers had 40 pts in the first quarter, and 83 in the first half! What kind of pro Warriors bias is-”*

while > whilst (seriously, put your damn pinky down)
There are also a bunch of needlessly wordy tics that TV sports people have adopted, and they have something to do with more words sounding more technical, therefby indicating the speaker has more knowledge and more authority of the subject. I’ll frequently hear ESPN

I love me some O line analysis and highlights. Bless you, Deadspin.
