Serious question: How much of the ire here is because it was Deadspin? If he had done it as part of his radio show, or anonymously through a website, or some other way, there would still be the "why don't people wear ties to games anymore" crowd whining, but isn't some of the anger directed at Dan also people who…

What a great performance by LeBatard, but his Deadspin HOF candidacy is tainted by the era in which he works at ESPN.

Dan, you magnificent Le bastard!

I'd say that the guy who spit on someone over a football game is probably a bigger asshole.

"A season-saver? "Carolina came into its game against the Saints with a 10-4 record.

A championship in week 15? I remember my first beer.

Yup, I was a voracious reader when I was little and read every single dolls collection of books plus all the extra books and the craft and cooking ones. I didn't even have to try in history until the AP courses because I had a pretty solid understanding of recent American history, the social classes & structures, the…

Their marketing is genius. I went to NY for work a couple of weeks ago and found myself thinking I HAD to buy my daughter Molly before she gets discontinued (she actually looks like her, and she was the doll I had).

I have to hide the catalogue when that piece of crap comes to our house OR ELSE it gets highlighted and circled by our girls. NO, you cannot have "Julie's" bedroom set! I didn't get my canopy bed in the 70s - so you don't get one now. Disappointment builds character.

The one and only time I've ever been into an American Girl Doll store (and this was for a present for my MIL, mind...not even a kid) it smelled like one of the rambunctious kids running through the place had absolutely exploded in their pants. Just that pure rank sweaty poop smell that you absolutely can't escape or…

Really. Bring an overnight bag. You're not getting out of that place anytime soon.

right! I personally have zero problems allowing my now 8 year old BE an 8 year old and play with dolls...instead of what I see some of her cousins doing.

i had a mild anxiety attack in there once. it was around thanksgiving, so obviously it was packed. just complete sensory overload. i wouldn't do it again, and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. ever.

My office is accross the street from there, I have seen crews of children going in there like the hounds in the Omen movie.

My wife went when in NYC for a business trip because she wanted to get something for our daughter. She bought a toy dog accessory the size of my fist for $40 (plus tax) that is hard as hell (not at all cuddly) and does not move/articulate at all. She apologized for buying a furry paperweight and we've tried to avoid…

"A little thing that can turn into anything at anytime."

If you've ever been to the American Girl Doll store in NYC, you will want to burn it to the ground.

What kind of compound is Adrian Peterson going to have? At least Philip Rivers knows his children from birth and all their names.
