ddb4 commented on There's No 'I' In 'Douchebag', at 4:29 PM on Feb 11 The difference between the Pats and all previous dynasties is that fans have forums now, and the portion of the fanbase (any fanbase, really) most likely to take advantage of their new voice is also the most douchebaggy. more » [deadspin]

ddb4 commented on Yeah, Well, Kelvin Sampson's Still A Jerk, at 6:08 PM on Feb 8 The ironic part of it is, I would guess that the reason Gordon waited so long to make a decision was precisely because he wanted to avoid this situation; for a top-5 recruit he seems remarkably un-cocky. more » [deadspin]
