Last week, Request Line was ably administered by Low Commander of the Super Soldiers with an assist from Dan Snyder, with the topic being “all things stupid” (aah, it burns!). I think we can retroactively dedicate this one to the idiot groundskeepers of Tom Benson Stadium at the Hall of Fame in Canton, who deprived us of our first dose of sickly sweet football methadone. I ended up watching NBC’s stupid “coverage” of the Olympics, which consists of commercials, commercials, athlete profiles, commercials, and finally about thirty seconds of actual competition. I believe I’ll put the effort in to find a nice Canadian or BBC stream this evening and save myself the aggravation. I hope you were all able to survive the weekend without going bananas. Let’s set the doomsday clock back a week and let the countdown begin: five more days to go.
The Bears finally get their day and as much as I already hated their fans just from them crapping every WYTS comment section about not having a chance to bitch about the Bears yet, Dan’s email is the most heartwarming thing I’ve ever read on Deadspin or a Gawker network site (which isn’t much of a feat, but regardless).
“None of this seems like a revelation but I assure you: eating approximately $200 in tickets instead of enduring that shit changed me. I don’t have to go.”
Do you think he hugged his wife and cried like the equivalent scene in Good Will Hunting?
Yeah, I loved that one too.
IDIOT noun
A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human affairs has always been dominant and controlling. The Idiot’s activity is not confined to any special field of thought or action, but ‘pervades and regulates the whole.’ He has the last word in everything; his decision is unappealable. He sets the fashions and opinion of taste, dictates the limitations of speech and circumscribes conduct with a dead-line.
