Yeah, I’ll admit, having learned that they actually (apparently) did this before and made it down without dying, I can see why maybe it didn’t seem quite so crazy after all.

I missed out on dying!

Here’s a picture of the gate:

Stepping foot on the track does not result in you hurtling down it.

I’m the Hypothetically Smartest Teenager!*

Here’s a picture of the “gate” they crashed into, in case anyone (like me) was wondering about it:

Sorry to be the contrarian here, but i would never have done something this stupid when I was a teenager. And I wasn’t even a particularly sharp teenager. What I’m saying is: This was actually phenomenally stupid, even for teenagers.

Until the whole “I care about kids bit” he’s started trotting out this year, there’s never been a single ounce of humility or care for anyone but himself.

I agree that Philly actually appears to be more in the right spot for that reference. But I was just riffing off Ashley’s New York reference in her post.

So, if all these expert sports pundits know that Blatt was in “way over his head,” why didn’t they bother to write about that until now — when suddenly they’ve all started spouting the same opinion just after the guy was fired? And why didn’t they predict this firing weeks or months ago?
