I didn’t say it was “too” anything, my man! Read more
This is correct, tbh Read more
Yeah I dunno about all that, it just tastes extremely weak and watery compared to uh like regular beer. Read more
It’s almost Tomato Time! We’re just a few days away. Read more
Spoiler alert: In an article about what happens in a movie, what happens in the movie will be discussed. If you do not wish to be exposed to what happens in the movie, do not read an article about what happens in the movie. Read more
What the fuck are you talking about. That’s not what Leitch-era Deadspin was like at all. Read more
It’s assumed that Deadspin’s many volunteer Twitter ombudsmen will continue in their duties. Read more
These are well-intended reforms and it’s cool that you’ve put thought into them. But the draft, the lottery, and the rookie scale (to say nothing of the salary cap and the max-contract system) are bad all on their own, as first-order things, even leaving aside the roles they play in incentivizing and rewarding shitty… Read more
To me, the answer here is pretty obvious: Do away with the lottery, the draft, and the rookie wage scale. Once cheapskate owners and dysfunctional front offices can no longer get special access to price-fixed young talent as a reward for being shitty losers--when they have to either compete with the well-run shops, or… Read more
No set of rules shy of getting rid of the owners altogether is going to stop the owners from being skimmers and thieves. By definition, that is their role in the sport. That doesn’t change the fact that salary caps are bad for workers and should be done away with. Read more

The absolute only thing that will ever stand a chance of allowing the teams in less desirable cities to compete with the ones in sexy media capitals is to do away with all limits on the amount of money teams can spend on salaries, both in total and on individuals, so that teams in places like Salt Lake City and… Read more
No cap, no max contract size, no draft, no college basketball, and the bottom four teams at the end of each regular season get relegated to a semipro league and replaced by that league’s top four teams. Read more

Rafa doinks a return long and that’s it. But holy shit, those last couple games were spectacularly intense. Read more
Oh man, Rafa is at war. Fights his way through a brutal 24-shot rally on match point to stay alive. Read more
Serving to stay alive and stuck in The Cycle Of Endless Deuce, Rafa finds a pair of thermonuclear strokes to put Federer on the run and then bloops a soft lil drop shot for the winner. His best point of the match, IMO. Read more
Whoa!!! Fed chases down a Nadal drop shot right in front of the ump’s chair and comes up with a crazy-angled backhand to the far corner for a winner. Read more
Long, tense, 26-shot rally at 15-all in the sixth game of the fourth set... and then Fed dumps the ball into the net. Anticlimactic. Read more
Haha Rafa starting this return game so far back from the baseline that you could only see his bald spot poking up above the bottom of my TV screen. Read more
