Well done.

I’m saddened by the imminent firing of the great Ray Ratto.

And despite your corporate overlords telling you to stick to sports, I hope Deadspin never does because

and I can’t emphasize this enough

I come to Deadspin BECAUSE YOU DON’T JUST STICK TO SPORTS

This leads us to one question....is Joe Flacco an elite backup quarterback?

How is Indycar not accessible? They race in all parts of the country, put the races on tv, often on over-the-air broadcasts, and are very fan friendly. The average fan can get paddock passes. The drivers all come out for fan meet-and-greet sessions, where they answer fan’s questions, and sign autographs. I’ve camped…

Wtf is a “playoff” This is motor racing not sportsball.

That leaked transcript is .... really something.

It’s a little known fact that Dan Quinn had a 28-3 lead in the 3rd quarter against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI and still lost the game.

Rather than getting a pretty terrible school lunch and taking the bus home every…

You are absolutely right with your whole premise, and we never talk about it. I can think of 2 comfort spots here in Austin that I would never actively recommend to people, but are there for me when I need them sometimes.

Finally someone has a good reason for Buick to still exist.

And this is why I have The Takeout in my RSS feed. Amid all of the chaos in the world, an oasis. A wonderful story, written beautifully, illustrated perfectly. Thank you for a wonderful start to my day.

Slightly related story. I was a crap server so I found my high school/college self on the retail side. One time I walked into a dressing room to clean up and someone had taken a shit in a pair of pants and left there. Humans are garbage. Never forget it.

Picking one from North Carolina is like shooting fish in a barrel. I personally went with Larry “Abe Lincoln was just as terrible of a tyrant as Hitler” Pittman. Can’t wait to read all the rest.
