You're right. We should all stop appreciating sunsets while we're at it, too. SEEN TOO MANY. Read more

It's bewildering to think that an actual conversation was had in which all of this was set up, and everyone involved was somehow convinced that the final product was a cool thing that needed to be posted on Instagram. Just, like, negative levels of self-awareness going on here. Read more

The Chris Paul veto was undeniably a bullshit move, but it was a bullshit move that was borne out of one man abusing his power, not out of the construction and accepted practices of the league itself. The NBA commissioner isn't the de facto owner of every team in the league.

And yeah, other sports leagues were shady… Read more

Are those explanations really valid, though? If a sports league has to be propped up in such a way in order to survive, then maybe it doesn't deserve to survive. Read more

Doesn't MLS' single entity status present an entirely different set of problems than those that plague the NBA, MLB, and NFL, though? When people talk about those leagues being fixed, they have to talk about it in a matter of degrees.

But it seems to me that with MLS, the conspiracies that people love to accuse the… Read more

Try to imagine Gregg Popovich or Erik Spolestra treating a player like this. Coaches like Frank Martin are power-tripping rage monsters who get off on bullying kids, and they can fuck off. Read more

I grew up in the suburbs of Denver, went to college at CU Boulder, and moved out here two years after graduating. I'm a loyal Rockies/Nuggets fan, but am agnostic when it comes to football.

I think it's safe to say that every tip we get gets read by at least one person. Read more

I try not to disregard criticism. If a guy with a burner account has a valid critique, I'll read it and feel stupid and try to be less clumsy/dumb in the future.

Now, if it's just a guy being an annoying pedant or complaining about the fact that I used "fuck" in a post, then I just ignore them. Read more

Marchman was reported to HR immediately after the list was posted. Read more

Good question. I think this was my first ever bear post, and I did it because it was Friday and I was bored. After that, I randomly did a few more, and then Craggs urged me to start Bear Friday. So there you go. Read more

Craggs and I actually had a real-life screaming match with him and John Cook at the Gawker holiday party. I recall waving my gin and tonic in his face and saying things like, "No joke, man, I will stab you if you don't back off of my fucking bears beat."

Anyway, he sucks at bear news and everyone knows it. Read more
