Re: Deadspin
I read the latest funbag and I think I have turned into Drew Magary. Every thing in that was me.

Re: Deadspin
Yeah. Those have been pretty great for a good while now. Between Funbag this week and the annual Williams-Sonoma catelogue article, a good week for reading Magary.A_B wrote:I read the latest funbag and I think I have turned into Drew Magary. Every thing in that was me.

Re: Deadspin
His takedown of "tweetstorms" in the last Jamboroo column was awesome.

Re: Deadspin
The two things that make Drew hard to read for me even though I still do it in one sentence: His CONSTANT use of ALL CAPS and fake names like GLENNLYN.
Re: Deadspin
He was on Jonah Keri's podcast recently.
And if he's having a good week, it's nice to see he bounced back from this.

You know he fisked that column after what happened, right?Johnnie wrote:He was on Jonah Keri's podcast recently.

Re: Deadspin
No idea what 'fisk' meant until I googled it. And further googling isn't showing how he fisked the column. Link, plz? I'm unaware of said fisking.

Re: Deadspin
Good for drew. The self-fisk is the hardest fisk of all.
Who knows? Maybe, you were kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom.

Re: Deadspin
Why do parents threaten their kids with coal for Christmas? At least coal has a physical, tangible form. And despite what BIG RENEWABLE ENERGY tells us, it's as clean and as efficient as ever. If we really want to punish our kids, we should give them lump of sunshine or wind in their stockings.
That's right Tannynn, you shaved the dog, you get NOTHING!

I can deal with the Black Pepper and Olive Oil ones, but they aren't my favorite. Cheez-its way too low on his list.

Take a brick of cream cheese, put it on a plate, pour worcestershire sauce all over it, and scoop/carve with a triscuit. Delicious.

Re: Deadspin
I commented on the Deadspin post, but I'll repeat it here: In my neighborhood, there is a super old-school broiler/steak house restaurant (home of "The Best Rob Roys in Town!") that uses Cheez-its as croutons on their salads.A_B wrote:I can deal with the Black Pepper and Olive Oil ones, but they aren't my favorite.

Triscuits are great.

Re: Deadspin
They should have stopped at the cracked pepper and olive oil. Those things are snack-fection.

Also normal wheat thins are subtlety sweet and I don't dig it, but if you can find the multigrain ones, total game changer.

There is no better cheese-delivery system than a Triscuit.
I would like expensive whiskey.

Re: Deadspin
Not for nothing, Deadspin has been great recently, in my opinion. It kinda always (I'm a fan) but in the last few weeks, extra good. And this is fascinating:
http://deadspin.com/the-fallout-from-sp ... 1797691830
http://deadspin.com/the-fallout-from-sp ... 1797691830
Writes DeLeonibus in the tenth paragraph: “Sparkman started last year and will be back on defense. He plays a very physical, tough-nosed brand of soccer.”
Yawn.
Writes DeLeonibus in the eleventh paragraph: “Watson started last year as a defensive player. He works very hard and has good speed.”
Yawn.
Writes DeLeonibus in the twelfth paragraph: “Dixon sucks donkey dicks and doesn’t wipe the shit off before practice. We like to keep him at the sweeper position so his sperm breath will stop people from penetrating to the goal. Speaking of penetrating, he prefers tall, red-headed guys. Told me to tell Kris he said ‘hello.’”
Wait.
What?
What?
The story of the most flagrant mistake in the modern history of sports journalism begins with a 21-year-old editor. His name is Kris Freeman. He has red hair and a soft southern drawl and an earnest belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Back in the early 1990s, he was the kid at Portland (Tenn.) High who dreamed of one day becoming a reporter, and devoted his weekends to stringing prep football games for the News Examiner, the local thrice-weekly 12,000-circulation paper. A workmanlike scribe with a love for the craft, Freeman was smart and dogged and precise and as reliable as running water. He submitted clean, on-time copy, and local coaches came to enjoy his work.
