Life is a strange thing, isn’t it? I had no idea, for example, that after many years spent not playing or following sports, I would one day become the deputy editor of Deadspin following the untimely death of Barry Petchesky. And yet, here I am. The deputy editor of Deadspin.

Tonight’s the night. Despite the crushing problems facing the Rio Olympics, the Games are finally kicking off tonight (sort of). We’ll be liveblogging the televised Opening Ceremony here. Clearly moved by the Olympic spirit of cooperation, our friends from Jezebel are joining us! Let’s do this.

I have a lot of respect for people’s sexual preferences and mostly think they’re not to be questioned so long as everyone involved is a consenting adult. That being said, I’m pretty sure most of you straight dudes would have sex with The Rock, even if publicly you say that you wouldn’t.
