You were very lucky my friend.

I stand up immediately, like immediately. I’m 6'3" with a history of back and knee issues (though gone now) and the sooner I can stand up and extend my joints, the better. I flip the arm rest up and am usually the first person standing in my area by significant margin. If you want to take exceptions, take them with…

Not really.. some people are understanding and clear a path to let connecting travelers move.. but if you don’t do your part to get your stuff together and move fast.. then why should they give you a path out.

This is a simple answer.

Alternatively, a simple answer to all of the above:
I’ve been sitting in that uncomfortable seat for hours and my legs/knees stretching.

I’ll bite.. as a heavy travaller, while I can’t (and won’t speak for EVERYONE on the plane, I can give some reasonable answers to this):

Because my fat ass has been wedged in that tiny ass seat for hours and if I don’t stand up soon I am gonna be stuck permanently in that position.

A question for the Funbag: why should I keep reading anything on this website after Jim Spanfeller and Paul Maidment went to the lengths of firing Barry, like cowards, for the dumbest of reasons?

I want to support the writers here—this is both the best website that exists, and has ever existed, and the best sports…

I definitely picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue, I can tell you that much

There’s a partisan element to it, too, but not the obvious one—were a Democratic president to receive a similar response at, say, Talladega, it’s hard to imagine the media being quite so comfortable breaking out the smarm that Trump’s booing occasioned.

I was there in April of this year. That dog from the pyramids has a name and it is Preztelcoatl. But you are correct that it is indeed a good dog.

As someone who was once part of a similar insurrection against arrogant, incompetent, and condescending management, I want to applaud all of y’all for today’s showing. I’m sure you’re simultaneously enjoying the fun of mutiny while also understanding the risk. Please also know how much it means to us here in the feebl…

Tom, if this unfortunate situation continues, may we have bears? 

Can you let me know when you will be returning to sports coverage so I can go back to checking in once or twice per day? I have a lot to do today at work and all of these posts about non-sports topics are distracting because I Must Read Every Single One of Them. Whereas with the sports stuff I really only care if its…

These are extremely good dogs, Tom. Thank you.

This article is very good. If your bosses ever shut you down I do hope you and some departed Deadspin and Gawker writers will set up some sort of worker-led site funded through subscriptions or Patreon or something. I would pay $15 a month or so to read your columns, which I have to imagine is more than my page views…

Fuck, man, the paragraph that begins with “As with most of Trump’s attempts at Presidentiality...” is a god damned masterpiece.

Help me, I stuck to sports and now I can’t get all this sports off of me. Can you guys get Jolie Kerr to do an article about the best way to get sports off of a nice dress shirt?

The world’s a little scarier outside of them rallies, dickhead.
