I think he’s sort of reached that tipping point where his last name has been hard to spell for so long that it’s now easy to spell.

Basketball fans always talked about getting ‘posterized’ as the most embarrassing thing in sports. Steaming into a check thinking ‘I’m going to crush this guy’ and getting knocked on your ass is way more embarrassing.

I’m all for it. Though, with Braasch’s earlier bullshit coming to light, and the spotlight she’s under, this is going to be very hard for her to get away from in any case.

Lolade Siyonbola, the black Yale student who had the police called on her by a white classmate for napping in a common room, said she wants the university to hold that classmate and others like her accountable.

Agreed - I was into hockey when I was in college, but kinda forgot about it as I went on with life. A few years ago when I started reading Deadspin, I really started to get into it again because it reminded me how great it is. Keep up the great work, Lauren!

Lauren, just want to say how much I’ve enjoyed your NHL playoff coverage. You and Barry have been doing great work, at a time when a lot of other sites seem to be scaling back their coverage (even more). So thanks!

You mean that picture of Brutus in Pence’s office was not a dead giveaway?

Every time I see a pic of Pence looking at Trump, the word balloon is:

They’re due!

Time to get back on the fantasy sports train again

As soon as my state opens a sportsbook, first thing I’m doing is putting down 50 grand on the Washington Generals!

For more analysis, we now go live to a bunch of lawyers with too much free time on their hands: the entire Deadspin commentariat.

I don’t know that much about Azaelia Banks, but she seems fucking exhausting. Is her whole m.o. just ragging on people more talented and more popular than her?

I think there’s a real point here. A lot of you were really hypercritical about the NFL’s terrible record with hiring black coaches and executives but did we ever consider they were doing it to protect those coaches’ feelings?

Is there some available coach out there who has a secret plan for making James less good at basketball?

I’ve read some of the other stories since the Philadelphia Starbucks debacle. PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR FELLOW WHITE FOLK: BLACK PEOPLE DOING LEGAL THINGS, LIKE SLEEPING OR COOKING OR EXISTING, IS NOT ILLEGAL. STOP WITH THIS SHIT.

Here’s a tip I give out a lot and it’s usually met with appreciation...

I dare you to find me someone more self-righteous and dead inside than a higher education administrator. At least the vampire capitalists are honest about their intentions.

Never trust a man who doesn’t know the difference between 21 and poker.
