Stephen A. Smith’s political takes are beyond concerning — they’re dangerous
Another day, another bad take from Stephen A. Smith.

Welcome to Deadspin's Rigged Voter Fraud 2016 Liveblog
After 317 primary debates, far too many GOP candidates, countless repetitions of the word “email,” and one Billy Bush downfall, we have finally made it. My friends, in just a few hours, this godforsaken presidential election will be over....
The Election That Almost Ate Our Souls
People hated the 2012 presidential election, too. They publicly prayed for its end. It was irritating and stupid; the discourse was cheap and disappointing.

So I stopped by the drugstore on my way into the office. It was here that I learned that Huma Abedin an...
Anthony Weiner's Dong Tipped The FBI Off About New Clinton Emails
