A list of douchiest colleges that doesn't include Tufts!? This is a banner day for Jumbos everywhere.

Counterpoint:

Good job so far. Christ.

OH! Good point. You sound really nice.

Awesome write up, thanks.

That might be the reason that running 2:45, 2:30 would be very, very easy for him. But there are thousands of Kalenjin people in Africa- the reason he's the best is because of his training.

Yeah totally- the reason you can't run a 2:03 marathon is because you don't give a shit about running a marathon. Definitely.

If you are a runner, it's very easy to relate to what the professionals are doing- you can run the same marathons they run and compare to them. If you have a stud marathoner in your home town, he might be a 2:30 marathoner, which is a 5:44 per mile pace. The winners at major marathons are doing 4:44 per mile, which is…

Des Linden has a much better chance of winning NYC than Meb had of winning Boston. Meb won Boston. Can you believe Meb won Boston? I can't believe Meb won Boston.

My wife has Celiac disease, so we LOVE the fad- there's gluten-free shit everywhere we go now. But yeah, it's ridiculous.

Every time he runs!

Fuck you.

Awesome description- great to see a profile like this on Deadspin!

More Sammy!!! Awesome post, thanks.

Yeah that is a good point- I wouldn't work your shift so that you can get your long run in for the week, so why should I be willing to pass out water to thousands of people racing a marathon? Good point. You win.

In the Midwest, my company's parking lot is filled with $40-60K trucks, but if someone showed up in a new 328i or CLA or ATS there would be rumors about secret bonuses and money laundering.

That has literally nothing to do with my example. I love a lot of things that I don't voluntarily give time or money to. I love the pants I'm wearing, but I'm not going to volunteer for J. Crew. I love the website I'm reading, but I'm not going to donate to Deadspin. I love my house, but I'm not going to volunteer for…

No, because I don't have any connection to the people who eat at McDonalds. I would volunteer at a marathon because I know the people running it woke up two hours earlier than most people for months so they could get their miles in. I don't care if the race is raising money to fight cancer, or supporting a mega…

They're not idiots- we volunteer at running events because we love running, love supporting other runners, and find pleasure in helping them finish a race.

"And the entrance fees might not need to rise significantly." Oh! If this random guy on the internet doesn't think the costs to run an event will change despite having to pay thousands of more employees, it must be true!
