God took away Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens, so we could have Samer and The Deadspins Read more

What everyone needs to learn is that everyone driving faster than me is a maniac trying to get themselves and everyone else killed, and everyone driving slower than me is an idiot causing traffic. Read more

The Wizards front office is reporting that interested parties have been contacting the team this evening, repeatedly, but all of them have been Rick Pitino. Read more

If I learned anything from watching Chernobyl, it’s that someone has to be armpit deep in radioactive water to stop the flow; someone has to shovel graphite off the roof of a reactor that’s in active meltdown; someone has to put on a lead codpiece and shoot dogs. Read more

Albert, by god I’ll do it. First order of business would be sign Durant and kyrie, and then trade wall for Giannis. We are going to need some shooting so let’s get Middleton. He plays well with Giannis right? Big guy, need one of those too. I’m going with cousins. Can’t forget about the bench. Klay Thompson, he leads… Read more

If this were any other franchise, I would say that this long of a search is an indication that the owner is trying to find a GM who will agree to implement some sort of strategic vision. As it is the Wizards, and Leonsis let Grunfeld run the place for a decade and a half because he presumably forgot he owned the team,… Read more

This entire exchange is so baffling. That somebody could read an article and decide what it’s about, regardless of what it’s about. That so many people are so pro-management over labor in this, and only this context. Read more

yeah but what if I love billionaire aristocrats so much that I frame every argument heavily in their favor? Read more

Lol, I work at Classic Arts Showcase (for real), and seeing as 90% of our viewership has glaucoma or has recently died, video quality means very little to them.  Anyway, you try finding a Lauritz Melchior clip that’s not 480p or less. Read more

I literally don’t remember a single utterance of anyone on deadspin staff writing that the Lakers “deserved” Davis. It was about the Pelicans’ failure to build a winning team around a generational talent and potentially having the decency to allow him to go play somewhere he preferred. Read more

In conclusion, I could kick the ass of any alien, no problem. Read more

The burden of proof is on the (fake) aliens, to prove that they not big chickens! Read more

But...that’s true. The Pelicans were, and are dysfunctional. The Lakers are obviously dysfunctional as well (although the extent of that dysfunction was not apparent at the time, and a lot of that dysfunction would likely have been moot if they had landed Davis). The argument was never, ever, about whether the Lakers… Read more

Also, don't forget about the crazy idea that *gasp* it might actually be fun to see cool and good players play together in a way that is much more cool and fun than they are currently doing. How dare your want fun in your sports! This is business!  Read more

That would have been an absurd argument if it was the one anyone actually made! But, alas, it wasn’t. But good job burning that straw man to the ground! Read more

Yeah, except it wasn’t. Read more

Here’s what nobody else seems to be paying attention to: the impeachment process is not quick and it’s not a simple vote for yes or no. Nixon’s impeachment process took 7 months officially, really more of a year and half unofficially. What happens (in broad strokes) is this: Read more

If Congress impeaches him, he will not be mad, he will be laughing actually. Read more

I remain convinced that the person most upset with the 2016 Presidential Election results was...Donald Trump. He just ran to stoke his own ego. Back then he knew he had no business being President. But once he won, he had to do the job. So he convinced himself that he was the bestest everything ever and hasn’t stopped… Read more

Our whole nation seems to be governed by the sunk cost fallacy. Read more
