I’ve qualified for the Boston Marathon so many times now that I’ve lost count, but I still haven’t run Boston primarily because I’m a Yankee fan and am therefore required to hate everything connected to the city in question, including cream pies and baked beans.

THANK you. One of the worst things about becoming infected with Lyme bacteria (and I’ve had Lyme twice) is trying to find real, scientific information about the disease. There is SO much misinformation out there— spread by celebrities, so-called Lyme advocacy groups, and even Jezebel— that it is difficult to figure…

Even Endeavor, the Hollywood talent agency-cum-content factory....

Also, it was daytime, and visibility was poor. But otherwise the circumstances were totally similar!

If you’re not going to do it for yourself, do it for children and the elderly, as Aaron E. Carroll writes in The New York Times.

I love Torch, but he totally doesn’t understand the issue of ease of entry & exit.

Maybe LSU can plead with the Grim Reaper.

....and the group was simply spending much more than it took in. Brian Mittendorf, an accounting professor from Ohio State University, told OpenSecrets the NRA’s business model “cannot be sustained the way it is going.”

Dear visitors to Shenandoah National Park,

I, for one, marvel at the fact that a man is being paid to come up with bad horror-related football puns. What a time to be alive.

Never forget Tom & Katie’s love.

Oh, Clay Travis is the same person as former Deadspin writer C’lay Travis? I always thought C’lay was one of those ethnic types. You know, because of the apostrophe in his name.

The Capitals’ “RED” thing is pretty embarrassing, as Caps fans have only been doing it for a few years now since the team’s whole “ROCK THE RED” slogan nonsense. Before that, the main exclamation you’d hear during the anthem at Caps games, particularly before the Expos moved to town, was— you guessed it— Baltimore’s…

Be sure to pronounce “Dundalk” in the correct Ballmer accent: DUN-dualk.

As a longtime Deadspin reader, it always tickles me whenever we get a cameo by Leitch!

Access to supplemental aid, to which other competitors do not have access, arguably gives the aided runner a competitive advantage.

Or: Buy industrial-strength earmuff hearing protection for $13 and put them over your $5 earbuds. Effective noise blocking for one-tenth the price, and you look no less stupid than those people walking around with giant Beats cans over their ears. Here, here’s an Amazon link that may include the Kinja Deals tag if I…

“Nobody refers to the mid-Atlantic”? Virginian here, and I hear it all the time. Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and DC are all squarely “mid-Atlantic”. Gets hazier as you move out from there, but Maryland & Delaware sure ain’t “South” and they ain’t “Northeast” either.
