The Loneliness of the American College Transfer Student

I read this the day it was posted. I’m not a transfer student but I know that loner feeling on a college campus after having the whole experience hyped up to you throughout high school. I’m fine with it overall because I’ve always been the loner type, didn’t have any close friends in high school, but on occasion you’re left to feel like you’ve done something wrong and it is troubling.

"Well, if you want a one-person sample to represent all of MLB, you should definitely choose a 215-year-old cigarette-smoking slab of craggy granite. If Jim Leyland were a game, he would not be fantasy baseball. He would be cribbage. And if Jim Leyland were a magazine, he would be a copy of Parade from 1988 that’s all warped and sun-faded and moldy."

They’ve still got it.

Super Bowl 44: Most Watched TV Thing Ever - Super Bowl XLIV - Deadspin

Over 106 million American people watched the Big Game last night, breaking the U.S. audience record held by the series finale of M*A*S*H since 1983. Finally, someone put that smug Alan Alda in his place!

I hate football and love M*A*S*H, but…snerk.

Via Deadspin:

A KHL game was canceled after 3:49 of the first period when a brawl resulted in 691 penalty minutes and not enough players left to finish the game.

Makes the 2008 Stars/Bruins game seem downright polite, eh?

"Custody cases are never pretty. Next thing you know the McCourts will compete for the Dodgers’ love via Christmas presents, with Frank buying them Chien-Ming Wang, and Jamie McCourt upping him with a PSP."

All Steeler Fans Are Basically Puppy Murderers - Pittsburgh Steelers - Deadspin

Completely and utterly fucking appalling.

Mario, Luigi Wanted For Assault, Battery - Video Games - Deadspin

This took place on Halloween, but it’s funnier if you pretend it didn’t. Two men dressed as a beloved video game character and his much-less-beloved brother assaulted a cab driver on Staten Island not with the red shell, but with their fists.

Investigators are on the lookout for the two and their suspected accomplice, a bipedal mushroom. If you’re wondering how they’ve eluded capture this long, it’s suspected they possess the Tanooki suit, and have been mistaken for statues by police.
