Knowing Magary I expected it to be "I fell off a ladder" or something dumb, but I know he was traveling to the Deadspin awards so it's probably something like that. Hope he's OK and already has the Haters Guide to the WS Catalog in the can. I'm gonna be sad if I don't get to read that this year.

Yeah, I assume that too. I know what my completely uninformed guess would be and I really hope its not that.

Same. Some of his stuff is tedious/repetitive but he's really good at coming off as a human/dad which makes this shittier.

The comments after the Deadspin piece are pretty good, people expressing genuine concern while also busting balls. The one asking if BIG CATALOGUE was responsible for this made me laugh.

Yeah, phrased weird because I didn’t want to use “self-inflicted”, but I wanted to include like a DUI accident or OD or anything like that where he fucked up. Logically(?) you don’t request privacy after a car accident.
I feel like if it was a DUI we would have seen news break on it. He's prominent enough that that info would have come out.
I agree, especially with how Drew, and Deadspin as a whole, come out with the knives when high-profile people commit similar acts.

I hope he didn't end up in a horrible, thumb-based accident.

It must not be anything too bad, since they referenced it in the FUnbag today, too.

I should also go to the doctor. I haven’t been to the doctor in six years and I feel stupid about it every day. I’m convinced that when I finally go for a checkup the doctor is going to tell me that I have some terminal illness that could have been cured if only it had been discovered one day earlier.
That's me in a nutshell.

If you read the comments, most people took it the other way and think it confirmed this is real bad. I know my guess but even on a message board read by like 40 of us, it feels like a shit thing to write out.

Also that little blurb at the end of the funbag referencing Drew wanting to go to a bar makes me think this has to be an accident and that alcohol was not involved. There's no way he was hammered and they're making light of it if he is as banged up as we seem to think. Hope he gets better soon.

I guess I'm thinking it was probably a significant vehicle crash/fall/fight with a mirror, but I just don't think they'd be making fun of him if it was something malicious he did or caused.

I think it sounds like they're trying to show him how much they love him and he was presumably alone in a hotel that night.

The video of the Deadspin awards is up. Of course it doesn't mention anything specific, but again, seems weird if this is something really bad.

(I watched it half expecting this to have been a weeklong con.)

That was great. I'm not really thrilled if that was the big leadup to "drew had an accident". That's still kinda shitty to do to a reader base.

That' my theory.

Take solace though, I have never once been right. So he probably killed an asian hooker and the best fixer in town was unavailable.

So that speaks either an extended medical stay (or a hoax that would kill deadspin).

I think as long as your first thought wasn't "hung himself in his hotel room" it's probably a fairly reasonable speculation.

They are being relatively light-hearted about it, so I'm guessing it was a not-life-threatening accident.
