Straight up.

If you have a football history fuck up of this magnitude, you forfeit your right to get pissed about kneeling during the anthem. I linked this to a buddy of mine from MI, and he said “So unbelievable yet also so believable," which I think sums it up perfectly.

Are you seriously stick-to-sportsing this post? It’s okay, in fact encouraged, for fans of games to have interests outside of games. This next part might REALLY blow you away: it’s okay, and in fact encouraged, for fans of ANYTHING to have interests outside of that thing. You may notice how Kotaku’s Splitscreen…

Oh noooooooo that makes me sad. Never meet your heroes, I guess. Cool that you were at that ball, though.

Mass Effect, man. Keith David’s Admiral Anderson gives me feels every time he pops across my train of thought. I called my dad after his final scene.

Your Lincoln Test is outstanding, and I am going to steal it from you and use it in conversation WITHOUT crediting you whatsoever, so that people will think I’M the thoughtful and insightful one.

I think that is a fair point about my analogy. You seem to be arguing for a world in which there is no criticism and that everyone drops their lives and commits to the field which has produced the criticized object, every time they encounter one, in order to produce a competing object and something something market of…

Ah, yes, the ol’ meta-criticism “Well, if you don’t like it, make your OWN art.”

Here’s a life lesson that has really crystallized in my brain in the last few years for you. Are you ready for this? Context matters.

...incidentally, I would utterly love for these guys to do SNF or other primetime sports. Like I would have killed to hear Uber shouting during yesterday’s Texans - Chiefs game “THEY FAKED THE PUNT! ROLLING OUT TO THE RIGHT! BUT DENIED! THEY BROUGHT HIM DOWN SHORT OF THE FIRST DOWN LINE, MATT! CHIEFS BALL!” Give me…

They need to keep Uber and Mr. X at all costs. Those guys are the face of competitive Overwatch broadcasts to a viewing audience. They are my favorite casters for anything except for maybe Bill Walton. They subvert the usual role of staid play-by-play and goofy color guy - Uber loses his shit in supremely entertaining…

I would like to challenge Jim Spanfeller to a fight. My DMs are open, Jim.

Seriously, bless you for carrying Deadspin’s torch. This is giving me feels.

HAHA I’m 6'4" - go ahead and just TRY to recline your seat you fucking self-myopic munchkins. You will jam it back into my knees and I will chuckle as you jam it again, and again, and turn to the person sitting next to you, baffled, saying something like “hmm, I think it’s broken.” It’s not broken, it is just being…

Hey guys, I feel kinda bad for asking, but is there any official Kotaku/GMG staff response that we’re going to start seeing posted about Deadspin? I’m lurking all their Twitters, refreshing the site way more than I should - I am really bummed that Businesschuds who think they Know Better because they control money…

“There’s always next year!”

No they shouldn’t. They had the worst secondary in the league BEFORE 2 starters, who suck, got injured. You think it matters if they have anyone trying to cover receivers? They should stack the box and literally blitz everyone on every play on defense. There is no point in having people try to defend the pass.

If a black athlete appears to be activism-minded, Whitlock will doubt their sincerity and question their true agenda. If his precious NFL receives any sort of criticism, he leaps in front of it and capes for the most powerful entity in American pop culture, an act akin to shielding the Death Star from a dart gun.…

The Vikings and more specifically Vikings fans (I live in Minneapolis) have always, always, always thought they were only a QB away from a sure Super Bowl Dynasty, as their O-line gets smashed and scattered to the wind by the pass rush. They find zero problems anywhere else.

They are way, way out of my league. I figure the Deadspin degenerates are more my speed.
