I think you're still missing the fucking point. It really has nothing to do with how he paid for the fucking thing! His mom had cancer, he took care of her while going to college and now he bought (or had it given to him) her this to honor that. If the fucker got repo'd tomorrow it would still be a dramatically…

Great point! Let's parent a grown man, whose financial situation we don't know but will infer from a TV show we once watched, and who if he did put himself in a financial hole, did it to honor his cancer survivor mother, which is exactly like someone blowing their money on champagne, strippers and Lear jets! "Hey…

"Dude bought his cancer survivor mom a pink Cadillac after he had taken care of while going to college and playing football? Meh, but how could HE pay for it and what's the APR?"

Are you in or do you work for the prison system? What do you find to be the most egregious misrepresentations of prison by the media are, if you don't mind me asking? I don't think the people who actually make decisions regarding the purpose and conditions of prisons have a clue as to what their decisions mean on the…

I apologize for my quip in light of this new info. I would delete it, but unfortunately I have no idea how. And I agree, that would be awesome, especially from this gentleman. Maybe it will be a series!

Poor guy appears to have a drinking problem.

This was extremely fascinating, it's great to get perspective from someone who actually lived through 10 years of prison (which just sounds like the scariest thing in the world to me). Me personally, I love that you focused on weightlifting, especially because you were able to explore the culture surrounding the…

Great point! I have no idea why he didn't write this essay with you in mind!

"Repercussions? I'm not totally concerned with that" - Emmitt Smith after being asked about fears of lingering issues stemming from hits to the head.

I don't think Jay Z has much to worry about, unless the Stern brothers get involved.

I'm doing my part by destroying my DVD collection of Just Shoot Me!

Thanks for the story! Hahaha! He wasn't called Will the Thrill for nothing!

I like the part where it's the NCAA's duty to enforce federal drug laws.

I'm on the physics committee for the Nobel Prize, and the way it's looking right now Colin may want to learn how to pronunciate 'laureate' for his next rant on the apparent intelligence of John Wall. See, aside from being the world's foremost expert on African American modern dance and a club basketball player, Mr.…

Whatever happened to Deadspin? I used to come here for the dong shots, now all I see is a hipster's version of Runner's World.

I think Black Jesus's ability to walk on water was an unfair advantage, although the crown of thorns did have an adverse effect on his visibility.

Uh, you do know that this year's Boston Marathon is being run in Boston? You do realize that, right? So maybe you should lighten up on all the Boston bashing, or someone who likes baked beans might just be tempted to throw you in the trunk of their their car parked in Harvard yard and dump you in the Harbor.

I'M LISTENING TO THE SONG MANNEQUIN BY THE BAND WIRE!!!!

Glad someone else likes this song, it's my favorite Wire song.

I think he's more upset about having just given up a home run then he is about donkey basketball, but who really knows what's going on in the mind of a hot blooded Latino?
