You would think Deadspin would have a lip reader on retainer for these occasions.

Damn you. Now I have to actually watch the video before spouting off in an uninformed manner about the freaking play.

Cut out the coroner’s Googling time and effort by simply tattooing the name, address, and phone number of your next of kin on your forehead. It really would be the courteous thing to do.

Without context, the gif would look like an awkward comedy routine.

...er, hate to rain on the parade, but please, for the love of God, have another state jump in too: we are not known for having the best lawyers in the land. Well intentioned, but don’t let us be the state to provide the legal argument against the ban.

Clearly, you didn’t grow up in the South: born again virgins aplenty.

Unsure if you know about patient assistance programs? I work in the HIV field and many of our patients access these programs to get free or discounted prescriptions.

...[gag, wretch]... carry on...

As a former history major (now asking “If you want fries with that?” I kid, I kid), I heartedly applaud this incredibly rare dip into the deep past on Deadspin.

Could be worse: could be Big West basketball (the next level down in Dante’s college basketball hellish inferno).

Comeuppance has a new visual definition.

As someone who grew up poor, I had a flashback to our garbage bag slip-and-slide escapades when you would invariably find every sharp rock in the nasty lawn you were using. The fun was, quite expectedly, brief.

This defense of groping another player may have roots in the, now, coming to light, plague of sexual-based hazing of fellow athletes in team sports.

They are the comforting background noise of increasingly quiet desperation while spinning the drain of a vapid life gone sour.

Played football through college, and this isn’t in any way surprising. Guys who play football can, and often do, have very short triggers. In fact, the more successful (read, violent) you are, the more likely you will have some “idiosyncrasy” like this.

I tend to think of a referee’s job like that of a proctologist’s: the pay is decent, but you’re still dealing with assholes in pain all day. Hence, I can see them trying to find some levity whenever they can.

Stupid question, why can’t phone manufacturers write software that defaults to landscape-style video unless over-ridden? They have phones able to do most anything else; it seems inconceivable that this is the one feature that relies on physical rotation of a device by users.

The circles I’m professionally affiliated with are funded by agencies under the authority of this likely appointee, and all I can say is LGBT health issues and HIV treatment and care agencies are now presumably on the chopping block. His ilk in congress have railed against HIV prevention and care programs for a few…

Gonna need a bit more work before submitting it to the Le Batard “looks like” segment.

Since it seems clear he’ll get a top post no matter what, I’d rather see him at State than the DOJ as the AG. He could do immediate, irrevocable damage at DOJ; with State, chances are he will be laughed at, behind his back, by most of our diplomats and marginalized by foreign leaders thanks to Trump’s “America First”…
