I have this vague memory of someone yelling at ball boys/girls recently but I am far too lazy to actually search for it.

Lots of players have gone thermonuclear at officials* . But yelling at the ball boy or the kid handing you a towel is next-level douchery.

I know tennis isn’t a big draw on Deadspin, but this article was simply outstanding and made my morning. Thanks!

I think the position of Secretary of Defense is open?  There doesn’t seem to be any standards or requirements, so this guy is absolutely in the running.

How is 7-layer dip only #10!?!

This will shock you, but I have never pitched in MLB, so take it with a grain of salt.

The northern part of the state (i.e. Huntsville area) has more doctorates per capita than any other metro area in the country and the per capita income is (in 2010) 54th, higher than places like Orlando and Las Vegas.

This article made me really miss my ‘07 4Runner SR5. Swapped it for a Toyota Highlander when I had a bunch of kids and needed 7 passenger capacity.

Team Chastity Gooch-Fant here. Mostly because I think it’s the only “real” (i.e. birth) name in this list.
