“Best of all, many college football fans are college age men between the ages of 18 and 22. And lemme tell you something, there are no better haters out there than men that age. You talk about a worthless and vile segment of humanity. Guys that age are fucking DICKS. They get drunk. They yell. They start fights. They bite women. They’re spectacularly awful human beings. And every Saturday, they huddle up at Delta Fuckface Douchilon at 7AM to drink Popov and paddle each other on the ass, specifically so that they can be as drunk and obnoxious as humanly possible once game time hits. They say some of the meanest, dumbest, most horrible shit you can imagine. And that’s what makes college football so pantshittingly kickass.”
I often have to tell myself that I’m not the target audience for Deadspin, even as I enjoy many of its features and the dubious benefits of Denton’s pay-for-scoops regime. I mean, the above sounds freaking terrible to me. I hate it. Am I getting worn down, though, by accepting and still reading these pieces? I don’t think so. I mean, not to compare Drew to Schopenhauer, but the only thing I recall from reading Schopenhauer (beside his interest in the now-antiquated philosophic concept of force qua will and his role as precursor to the mediated continental idealism of phenomenology) is that he said women make the best teachers because they’re like large children. Everything has its ups and downs, I guess.
