Shawn thinks the rest of the world needs a recipe to put chicken fingers on a roll.

Dear Shawn,

You’re willingly sabotaging your Fantasy Football chances by drafting Lions players you dumb Sconnie. GO BEARS

I’m a Lions fan who has now lived in the Philadelphia area for over 20 years. The last time the Lions played here (in the middle of a fucking blizzard in 2013) the Eagles fans in the section I was sitting in didn’t bother to even heckle me, THEY BOUGHT ME A SYMPATHY BEER

Never thought I’d see a pro-gun take on Deadspin.

Tom Savage got knocked out in Houston and when he woke up he was in a Lions jersey.  Shaking your head yes during a seizure is consent in Texas

Reading this article is probably the happiest I’ll be during this Lions season. Imagine being the fan of a franchise and the happiest you know you’ll be during the entire football season is reading a Drew Magary piece in freakin’ July.

Last night, spokesperson for Justice Democrats Waleed Shahid responded on Twitter to Claire McCaskill, a former Senator who lost her race in the Midwest, who said that “free stuff from the government does not play well in the Midwest.”

Nice handle. It breaks my heart that Drew has such shit taste in music and chose to drag the Dead in this Funbag.

The only thing that really annoys me is when people assume a band or artist is universally loved or loathed, when they are usually somewhere in the middle. I’ve gotten “man, how can you not like U2!!1?1?!” before. Music is subjective, so, that’s just, like, their opinion, man.

I liked Brent’s voice. I loved Tons of Steel. I just hated the way he inserted so much synth BS into every jam.

By this standard, the Colorado Rockies are a band.

oh you’re good. you are being polite, not pedantic, by not falling for my douche ruse, and pointing out how i’m misusing the term. i’m just trying to goad the bruce haters into explaining how they get there. it’s like they think he’s billy joel or something.

“I went to school in the ’90s and plenty of kids were into the Dead, even though The Dead were old and I hated them”

True, and then there’s that cover photo. Goddamn that was bad. Feathered hair lookin-ass dudes in, like, white bathrobes.

Yeah this is the main issue, you’re right. Outside of American Beauty there isn’t a whole lot of easy listening in their catalog. And yeah I’m not saying everyone needs to be a Deadhead, but there is something there for pretty much everyone if they take the time to learn about the band. I think a lot of the people who…

I’m glad that I can agree with both sides of this argument at the same time.

You don’t know what the word “objective” means. I’m an 80s kid so I grew up listening against my will to his godawful, tuneless hollering on born on the 4th of july, dancing in the dark, glory days, santa clause is coming to town, etc. etc. etc. Horrendous shit, all of it. Shitty songs, shitty singing, shitty annoying…

Yeah, gotta say I’m surprised by Drew’s anti-Dead take. Are they uniformly, always good? No. But are they a force for good? Hell yeah!

I feel that way about Phish. Good for their fans, but I just don’t get it. A coworker is a fervent fan who doesn’t talk about them unless asked, and when she plays music in the office it’s never them. She’s doing it right. A close friend is also a fan, and he is forever sending me links and clips and they are…
