Spoilers, etc.: The muddled part is that Katie was getting yelled at for using the mushrooms to (as we learn) skip around worlds even before she brought in the cauldron, but the cauldron monster is the main eneme—uh, danger? It's just an odd construction and never really sorted out. And the Hazel friendship has zero… Read more

Who goes in trying to hate an Edgar Wright movie! Read more

He shook down me and Greg on the roof. I don't think we actually made any picks, as we were simply Twitter-shamed into joining by the emeritus. Read more

This is true! And if you actually think Wade is on board to drop from $42/2 to something like $24/4, that's actually going to be a killer, killer team. That seems extraordinary though, doesn't it? Read more

You didn't read this and I banned you. Read more

For the 3,500 gold full price takes, you can buy 35 packs, which is $43.75 going by the unit prices on a 40-pack. At 2,800 gold, it's $35 at the 40-pack's bulk unit rate. I totally get not spending money if you can help it, but by Blizzard's valuation, you're nuts if you're buying this with gold and have any other use… Read more

Did you notice the part where this was about the max salary, not the salary cap, or did you just fly into an anti-Knicks/Lakers rant right off? Read more

Removing the salary cap—which is much more problematic but I think debatable—might relegate small market teams to also-ran status (or at least more so than they are now). But keeping a salary cap in place and removing the max salary does exactly the opposite. Read more

I only found out that it's a site when I joined Deadspin and they were yelling at us for something. Read more

Craggs said "No reviews" and then I really, really sucked at it to the point that I could glean no useful ideas from it because I could not do anything. EA's in town this month, though. Read more

Marchman is right, but there's a wrinkle with regard to us being "positive." A lot of times, the stupidest things going are dim, negative things about athletes or sports, and we do what we can to correct that. But a lot of times that turns into cross-shouting, and not so much about sports. We all really like sports,… Read more

Drew's really funny in person. Last time he was in, he was looking at everyone's laptops for some reason, and in passing just noticed, "Oh, McKenna took a shit on his," and moved along. Still chuckle about that. Read more

I had to leave Wreck It Ralph because I was too drunk and started throwing up, but I really like that movie and went back the next week. Read more
