I’ve been reading Deadspin for about 6-7 years now and I just gotta say Barry, your writing has gotten progressively really fantastic. Glad you’re still cranking stuff like this out.

I can only imagine the trauma of having people criticize you for a commercial that took one day to shoot and netted you millions of dollars. Struggle is real.

With markup this car will sell for 40K+. How many 25-year olds can drop that kind of money on a car?

I spent time in SM/L.A. for the first time about 18 months ago and couldn’t believe the eye candy on the road. G wagons were as common as Honda Civics in the midwest. Oh, and I also saw a 599 GTO, which was incredible.

Here we go...

Brake checking is bad, but, as a resident of Missouri for three years, I can say that I’ve never driven in a city where tailgating is more rampant. People here seriously use riding your bumper from two feet away as normally as they use their turn signal. It’s astounding.

Sources say the cause of death: The wind blew.

The more NASCAR becomes like professional hockey, the better.

I’ll always like Nurkic for when he shit talked Boogie all the way down the court.

This car makes no sense. It’s obnoxious as hell. It offers virtually no practicality whatsoever, and it screams that an irresponsible idiot is behind the wheel.

This will never get old. Top-5 sports GIF IMO.

You should try watching the games some time.

I had a 99 G20t with reems. Liked that car a lot. Had 120k miles on it when I sold it and felt as solid as it did with 30k. Still wish I’d have put a de-t in it.

I am of the opinion that Melo is no longer worth a shit. He’s on the cusp of offering the same value as ‘Old Kobe’ in that he still can chuck it, but his reputation, salary, and ego are all much bigger than the benefits he brings to a team.

I believe the 612 Scaglietti is the answer you’re looking for.

I counted today. 10 squares was more than enough. 26 squares is madness.

Yep. That’s the one for me, too. Though I’d go with silver.

What percent of Trump voters do you think are seeing things, reading things, and consuming the overall coverage of him and thinking, “Hmmm, this might have been a mistake” versus percentage of Trump voters who think literally everything negative about Trump is FAKE LIBRULL NEWS BULLSHIT”?

There’s an old saying in the biz that says ‘the worst thing for a bad product is good advertising.’ So, yeah. Good luck, W+K. You’re gonna need it.

FWIW, I’d totally watch an Internet show roundtable where Deadspin writers shit on Whitlock and the likes for 30 minutes or so. Call it The Sports Farters. I’m just spitballing here.
