Guess Who Got His Twitter Account Back

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.

ESPN Is Hemorrhaging Subscribers And Pretending It Doesn't Matter
ESPN is doing a very bad job of pretending it isn’t deathly afraid of rapidly declining subscriber numbers.

Curt Schilling, World Series Hero, Wants Me Dead<em></em>
Curt Schilling, noted opinion-haver and former baseball star, is no fan of journalists. Never mind that he, uh, works for a media company and used to be employed by ESPN, Curt will not pass up an opportunity to rip the LIBERAL MEDIA. To him, advocating that journalists should be hanged from trees is...
This Is How The Deadspin Staff Is Voting
There’s no mystery about this site’s political leanings, and probably somewhat less public interest in who we’re voting for. Despite that, we thought it would be worthwhile on principle to follow our friends at Reason and Slate and go on record with our voting preferences, partly because it’s a wort...

Italian National Team Coach On Giovinco Snub: Come On, MLS Blows
Sebastian Giovinco is far and away the best player in MLS, a bullshit soccer league more invested in protecting its owners from the forces of competition than in producing top-level competition on the pitch. That Giovinco is such a beast in this league makes him an at least plausible candidate for r...
Wall Street Is Giving Trump A One In Three Chance
In financial markets, the outcome of a presidential election is most important in the sense of “What should I invest in if Trump fucking wins?” And the wizards of Wall Street are not ruling that possibility out! ...
