The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

Three stories I saw from Deadspin's lineup yesterday:

The NHL is still Very Racist (via Sam Fels)

BREAKING: The NFL is Very Racist

Did the new owners do away with the Stick to Sports edict, or are these writers just getting away with this stuff because pro sports are in lockdown? All these pieces seem very post-peak, "LeBron is a Genius for saying Fuck Trump"-Deadspin.

In no way is this an attack on Jordan’s competitive nature. He was as ferocious of a competitor that the sports world has ever seen.

But, the context is different. Jordan was undefeated in the Finals during his career. However, he was favored in all six of those Finals appearances. James, on the other hand, was an underdog in seven of the nine finals he has played in and has still managed to win three titles.

The point is simple.

I’m tired of the lack of objectivity in comparing these great players. Where saying bogus statements about one player is supposed to enhance another.

Don’t fall into the trap.

Jordan and James are both cultural titans, athletic artists, and insanely competitive basketball players.

They just did it in different ways and in different circumstances.

Now a 19-word title to tell us, what? You guessed it, NCAA football is also racist!

"The NFL Isn't Only Place With Diversity Issues Among Its Football Coaches, The College Game Is Just As Bad" (I'm not joking, that's the title)

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

Did Goff join Deadspin for the last article ?

He's Not Like Mike: I'm Yawning Just Thinking About A 9-Part Tom Brady Documentary

If you are wondering how ESPN is going to be able to produce nine hours of interesting content on a man best known for leading one of the most boring franchises in sports history: you are not alone.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

The Patriots are boring?

Yes.

Basketball lends itself to personal drama better than any other sport: it has the smallest cast and it tends toward big personalities. The '90s Bulls had larger-than-life personalities in Jordan and Rodman. Football is more difficult because of the huge roster size and the anonymity most players necessarily toil in.

The Patriots make it harder still because their organizational philosophy is about total buy-in, complete subsumption of the individual into the whole for the greater good. (It's also about cheating.) The masterminds of the Patriots are a grumpy guy who doesn't like to talk to anyone and some weird old guy who hides from the public altogether. And Brady himself? Good god, what a vacuous bimbo he is. There's really nothing there. And if you thought The Last Dance was compromised by Jordan's editorial involvement, can you imagine what Belichick and Handjob Bob will do?

Here it is, "The Hockey Players You Think Are Good Are Actually Bad." Sam Fels is on the case, so I'm surprised it's not just "all of them, all of them are Actually Bad, the only good thing is the NBA." It's in the single most indulgent and unreadable format, the "post the transcript of a group chat and call it an article" format. Both The Ringer and the other Gawker sites love to crap these out, laboring under the misconception that their writers' conversations are so interesting that we readers would be blessed if only we could be a virtual fly on their virtual wall. They think they're giving us the Algonquin Round Table. What they're really giving us are a thousand line breaks and people saying "Yeah.", "Wow.", and "Well anyway." Imagine selling a book that was just printouts of this board. You can't, it would be unreadable shit. But in the case of "The Most Overrated NHL Players Since 1990," they have to do it this way, because if you didn't do it that way, then oops, you wrote a listicle, and if you wrote a listicle, oops, you're Bleacher Report. People aren't supposed to know that New Deadspin is Bleacher Report.

Uh, no. It sounds like exactly as many as he hit.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Uh, no. It sounds like exactly as many as he hit.
