With all the head injuries and everything that we received, your chances of getting Alzheimer's and other kinds of disabilities from that, it's about 20 times greater than what the normal population is, especially since I played 14 years. Read more

The bias thing is an empty well. (Objectivity is overrated; rigorous "view from nowhere"-style impartiality is just a phony pose of unearthed authority; etc. etc.) The problems with the series run a lot deeper than the possibility that one of the authors may have snuck some latent Oklahoma homerism past a phalanx of… Read more

Clear conscience? I don't pretend that my standards are consistently applied. I have a direct and personal stake in not seeing commenters on my site do to Deadspin's writers what, say, Yahoo's commenters did to Chris Chase. And that's my prerogative. I monitor what I can (which isn't very much) and on very rare… Read more

I deleted the comment because the joke was nothing more than a dig at a Deadspin writer. It was neither funny nor incisive, and in general I'm not sure who benefits from a site that cannibalizes itself in the comments. If it's really that important to you to get off pot-shots at Deadspin writers, there are many, many… Read more

You're missing my point. His latter-day career as a columnist was devoted to an endless series of heavily sentimentalized stories about the plight of young people in a harsh, uncaring world. (I remember waking up to Baby Richard column after Baby Richard column when I was in high school.) Somewhere in there, he tried… Read more

It's my general belief that if you spend the balance of your career writing treacly crap about the perils facing our youths in this heedless, hopelessly fallen world, and then you wind up trying to fuck one of them, well, that shit should be around your neck for all eternity. Bob Greene was and is a… Read more

Shhhh. I'm with him and the Mises crowd on enough sports-relevant matters—drugs, gambling, stadium subsidies, the antitrust exemption—that I'm willing to pretend there's not a lot of, erm, questionable things lying just over yonder hill. Read more

We love the Lardners hereabouts. A few weeks back, we reprinted an old Ring story that was almost universally panned by the commenters: http://thestacks.deadspin.com/tyrus-the-grea… Read more

Kirby Puckett: Not a great guy, after all.

Lance Armstrong: Not surprising, not important, and whatever fun we might've had with this died the moment Jeff Novitzky arrived on the scene.

Janet Jackson's boob: Perhaps we're underrating the importance here. Janet's exposed nipple at Super Bowl XXXVIII led to the invention of YouTube, according to one faintly apocryphal telling, and it was something of a radicalizing moment for the FCC. It was also a useful reminder that America is sometimes a country of…
