And, leaving aside for a moment the specifics of this case, do we really want a legal regime wherein, after someone accuses you of a crime, you aren’t allowed to say “he’s lying; I’m innocent!”?

“In a slimy bout of legal gymnastics, Bill Cosby’s lawyers have argued that the defamation lawsuit filed by three women accusing Cosby of sex crimes is unconstitutional, and that the First Amendment protects his right to publicly talk shit about the women he allegedly raped or sexually assaulted over the course of his…

Albert needs to issue a correction to his correction.

How are you able to write about basketball for Deadspin and yet have all the insight of Howard Eskin and the 94.1 WIP morning crew (featuring the numb nut pictured below)?

There are multiple outright lies in this post. It's embarrassing to side with AB on this

Not ‘may retain’. Will retain. It’s in the CBA and everything. It’s the exact same thing that happened with Mirotic. As long as he’s playing pro ball somewhere, the Sixers have his rights. Once he stops playing pro ball, the Sixers keep his rights for another year. Once that year is up, he’d have to enter the draft…

I know we’re mired in the Twitter generation everything now please mentality, and I know you’ve picked this hill to die on Alberto, but for the love of butts, it’s been two seasons! This will be the Magic’s fourth rebuilding year. Are they ruining America? Or are they rebuilding through the draft and player…

Well, you forgot to mention that because of league rules Saric would have had to pay over half of the buyout price out of his own pocket. He will only make a little over a million next year if he join the sixers. It wasn’t worth it for him

Well, he’s not wrong. Saric was drafted in the firm knowledge he would not join the NBA until 2016. The news that he’s doing so isn’t really news - it was known. It was expected. It was planned for. The article is right in that it was intended, but news it is not.

Is the post corrected? I believe the sentence should read, “...the Sixers will potentially be forced to spend more than anticipated on the player they received in return for trading the 10th overall pick they used on Payton (who, not for nothing, was a fun li’l guard for the Magic this past season that shot 42.5% on…

Sixers fans have been calling for this strategy ever since AI left. But thanks for ignoring the previous decade

You are correct, he’s still bound to the Sixers, but mentioning that would actually be facts that get in the way of this uneducated writers silly little joke.

Also, you have a completely inaccurate portrayal of the trade. The Sixers also got their 2017 first round pick back, but of course you did not mention that since you know nothing about the NBA.

This isn’t news. Everyone knew Saric was staying over for two years. That’s been the story since he was drafted. This article is pointless. Good job.

Awl 150 Mets cawmments werh Mike Franceser tawking about Matt Hawvey. DA METS CANT BATT INNA RUN TO HEWLP DA GUHY OUT, OK? DA TEEM IS GAWBIJ!

No. It’s you. Why do you hate the jews?

Here we go again. Are you going to put them in concentration camps again?

I know. Some people seem to see racism where it doesn’t exist. Obviously, emotions are running very high after that horrible massacre in South Carolina, and I understand that. But when people start accusing everyone of racism for not walking on eggshells all the time it does an injustice to the true victims of racism.

Sing Sing is 50-60% black. Can’t speak to general prison population, point is he went to one prison to get a few interviews for a throwaway piece, he wasn’t trying to make a long-form diverse perspective piece. Maybe he should have but that’s not what happened. He didn’t see this as racist because he’s not a racist he…

Well, what should the narrative be? Should we pretend that because one racist white guy shoots 9 black people that no black person has ever shot a white person? He’s not running Sesame Street, he went to a prison that’s 50+% black and found people willing to talk. They happened to all be black in a small sample set.…
