You know, from an outside observer perspective, it IS stupid. If it disappeared tomorrow, I intellectually would think that was great. But in reality I love college sports to an insane degree, way more than pro sports, and am very glad there’s absolutely no way I’d ever lose my precious.

I’ve very nonscientifically come to the conclusion that diet and some amount of basic movement are far more important to general health and fitness than the “RAWR!” kind of exercise. Mostly based on observing that people in countries that are not obsessed with fitness the way we are are often quite healthy overall.…

Hey, why do you think we moved to ‘Murica?

I exercise because I enjoy it (no really), but I’ve nonscientifically come to the conclusion that diet is 95-99% of both losing weight and long term health. And the older I get, the less working out offsets poor eating habits.

I religiously work out 4 times a week (unless life happens), but not all at the gym. So, similar.

Awesome! I way prefer to work out outside, no matter how cold it gets.

I really like yoga. It doesn’t exactly burn a boatload of calories or anything but it feels good. It can be a bit tough on the knees, but a good instructor will tell you what poses to avoid, what to modify, etc. I just love it because it’s so non-judgmental. You want to push yourself, great. You don’t, great. Just…

My health insurance does this thing where if I go to the gym 12 times a month, I get a $20 discount for that month. I find this irrationally irritating because while I work out 12-16 times a month easily, I only do about half of that at the gym. I need the gym for the rock wall and the yoga class. I run on my own,…

I grew up in the Soviet Union and never heard of American football until I moved to the US, and it never ceases to amuse me that apparently American college football is now televised there. Particularly since when we moved here, the obsession with college athletics was very mystifying to us. It is really not a thing…

You saw the future sir.

I love bathing in Michigan fan tears. Too bad that’s all Florida managed to do in that game.

Oh fuck me, it took me way too long to get the joke. And fuck you Carly Fiorina. But go Hawkeyes.

If you’re not into sports, why are you on Deadspin? Legit curious. Sidebar I suppose?

Why only $100? Come on guys, Jezebel keeps offering $10,000 for random crap they want.

I know someone who proposed on an airplane “so she couldn’t run away.” Dude, if that’s a legit concern, maybe you shouldn’t propose. If it’s not a legit concern and you’re trying to be funny, you failed.

That’s actually pretty hilarious.

Can somebody pretty please explain the meme to me? Is this about the jokes about “the Panthers being undefeated 11-1” thing you guys keep doing in the comments? I want to understand!

They’ve successfully managed to sell the idea that they are. I have some friends who are self-described “fiscally conservative but socially liberal” and vote Republican. They also tend to be ammosexuals. I just don’t get it. It’s like they don’t agree with “the welfare state” that does not actually exist, miss all the…

You’ve clearly never read Gawker comments when some physics-based conclusions come in, such as things about downed airplanes, the Michael Brown shooting ballistics reports, etc. Everyone’s an expert!

That's how we do it in North Dakota!
