"Deadspin Funbag" by Drew Magary - Deadspin.com
This cat Drew Magary wrote a book? About what? What? I'm confused.
Anyway, dude likes cake better than pie, and that's the important part. Cake is so much better than pie it's not even funny. Cheesecake, carrot cake, chocolate mahfuckin mousse cake? Git off me. It's not even close.

"Sportsguy Mailbag" by Bill Simmons - Grantland.com
Sportsguy is kind of "mailing it in" lately (his phrase). But still, the mailbag is very readable. This email must have hit home a little for him. Guy just feels lazy these days.
"Q: You have officially made me want to become a sports writer. The fact that someone might actually pay me to write random bullshit that crosses my mind like you do is both amazing and awesome at the same time. Thank you for the inspiration.— Lewis, San Ramon, CA"
Ouch?

"Summer of Mailbag: The Revenge" by Bill Simmons - Grantland.com
A new Simmons mailbag. Still good stuff. These back-to-back questions killed me:
"Q: I haven't even begun to read the mailbag yet I just wanted to tell you how happy it made me to see the mailbag has "gloriously" returned. I will spend however long it takes me to read the mailbag ignoring my mom, her alcoholic brother, my stoner brother, the whitest black dude you will ever meet, my girlfriend who already feels like technology is ripping us apart ( its like the plot of one of those twilight movies which incidentally I am forced to watch every time they come on one of my 100 movie channels I get with my direct tv package) and my other idiot buddy whose life is in such shambles it makes Charlie sheen look like muhat ma Gandhi. Thank you for bringing it back and if it wasnt for you i wouldnt be on espn half as much as I am … DP show and bs reports get me through my day.
From,A hammered fan a day before his 25th birthday— Anthony, Bensenville, IL
SG: Uh-oh …
Q: You should try yelling Texas Forever! while you are getting in on with your wife. I did, and she liked it.— Cody, Oregon
SG: I can't fight it …"

"Sportsguy Mail Bag" by Bill Simmons - Grantland.com
Simmons is claiming he's doing a mailbag every Friday for six weeks straight. I hope so. Poop Reads was made for this.
