I'm coming home from work the other day, and I see a bumper sticker with a picture of a gun that says "Arm the teachers!" I'm a teacher. This seems like a bad idea to me. Your thoughts? Or maybe just a classic Magary-esque all-caps rant?

As an American with no natural rooting interest when I got into the EPL, I started rooting for Arsenal because my wife lived in that part of London, and she had an Arsenal beach towel. Now I root for the towel. And whichever team Clint Dempsey is on. But mostly the towel. It never disappoints or sells my favorite

This is a sports website. Chances are, there are many Deadspin readers interested in any given sport known to man, and they come here to read about those sports and discuss them with like-minded fans. Your comment about the Tdf is totally appropriate though, if this were 'Knittspin' or 'Star Trek Deep Space 9 AOL

Police became suspicious when Brown placed a phone call to Brother Mouzone telling him they were all out of Harpers.

Hey, I've been reading since Carl Monday and Ukraine_Weak. I'm just the rare commenter with an occasional serious opinion and a lack of talent for dick jokes. No need to hate.

I'll say it a different way: I don't really get the hate. What don't people like about the Stern era? Is it the marketing? The skyrocketing cost of tickets? The globalization? A dislike of officiating? Do people just not like him? He's a commissioner, his job description is to make unpopular decisions for fans and

Yeah, that's ridiculous. America will never elect a black President.

On a separate and possible completely unrelated note, Friday I was listening as NPR did a story flogging Drew's book (Way to manipulate the lame-stream media, Drew!). Melissa Block pronounced his name 'ma-GA-ry.' I've been reading funny things aloud to wife since before Buzz Bissinger called him "Drew Big Balls", and

On a separate and possible completely unrelated note, Friday I was listening as NPR did a story on Drew's book. Melissa Block pronounced his name 'ma-GA-ry.' I've been reading funny things aloud to wife since before Buzz Bissinger called him "Drew Big Balls", and always pronouncing it 'MAG-ary'. Motherfucker.

As a former high school wrestler, I can tell you, all HS wrestling coaches are assholes. I mean, their job is *literally* to show kids how to kick the crap out of other kids. They might as well recruit them straight out of prisons.

On Monday I wondered- is Deadspin gonna cover the Beckham retirement? Tuesday passed. But Howards's article was worth the wait. Thanks for being such an awesome writer in a sport that needs it.

My thoughts exactly, but different word, different ethnic group. I wouldn't go into an unemployment office in Detroit and call the assembled individuals 'niggardly'. If a group is highly offended by a word, regardless its etymology, don't use it.

Not your fault, but there probably needs to be better phrase for this situation than "the play is dead."

Also new introductions at Augusta since 1999; blacks, Jews, and women.

Dear Deadspin reader that is about to write in who went to one of these colleges and was offended and totally thinks that this year their school is going ALL THE WAY: don't. Sincerely, The Management

Fun fact- over 80% of Jews are college educated, and can read articles with simple words and phrases and understand them! You, notsomuch.

"I smell a failed NBC pilot. Let me get right to penning an awful script for it."

"I don't want the federal government running a fucking thing. Have you looked at their track record?"

As a Hebrew, I'm deeply offended by this remark.
