Life DUAN after the jump

I remember when my brother was at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda recovering from his attack in Iraq back in 2005. I was in college in the area so I went there at least once a week. I've heard the horror stories at Walter Reed, but the NNMC facility was awesome. The cooks loved the Marines, and the nurse…

But when you bring up Cal, realize that those types of schools are in the public Ivy realm. They're allowed to be ball-busters academically because they usually have other public schools to carry the mantle of serving the public at-large (in the case of California, that falls to the Cal-State system). Eventually, it…

Jesus why did I write this much?

Yeah, the people who brag about their school's academics get a lot of shit, but a) many times people who bring it up are being total dicks about it in the Gregg Easterbrook vein or b) I think a lot of us are so cynical that we simply brush it off as mere sugarcoating or expect damn near every program to be dirty.

Incidentally, this was the exact convo my coworkers and I had at lunch today. She's in the same boat for me as Sarah Jessica Parker - women that corporate America continues to shove down our throats as someone sexually desirous, yet no one I know finds either to be remotely attractive.

But you're assuming that non-revenue generating sports should be covered at all. I know it's not "fair," but why stop at sports? I busted my ass for 4 years doing competitive public speaking and debate, yet saw very little from it financially (and programs are getting cut by the bucketload, not to mention an…

Ironically, I believe we would not be in this situation had more than 11% of our current membership participated in the Mackey Challenge

Mike Millbury is so humble that he simply credits another Deadspin writer for his insight rather than take all the credit. True class, that man.

Whatever, he thinks his pinky looks quite [a]cute.

Thank you for mentioning Vaughan. He was incredible. I was about to shake my head until I saw this.

Craggs does with some regularity. O'Brien has been really good, and Emma has had some nice features too. Also, the guest pieces as of late have been awesome. The writing is arguably at its strongest in a long while (probably because the pool is more diverse whereas before it was a whole lotta Drew and Barry) which is…

That opening footage will be easily reused when Jeff Fisher takes Lane's job next year.

Chateau St. Jean 2008 is really good, as is Landmark 2007 (although not their later years - they incorporated more of a mix from Santa Barbara in their newer batches which kills the texture).
