Or possibly because bad writers misunderstand atheists' understanding of christians.

Seriously, Grantrand is a shithole of bad sportswriters who think that reading McSweeney's once or twice means they can throw whatever long-form free-thought bullshit on the web (unedited, mind you) and it will suddenly make them into the love-child of Herman Wouk and Ambrose Bierce. Let me drink enough to turn this rambling paragraph into a poorly formatted 3000 word article and Grantland will probably snap it up faster than Andrew Golota will go for your nuts.

  1. No really
  2. I mean I appreciate Bill Simmons for what he is.
  3. But good lord, I have yet to read an article there that didn't make me want to ask Bill James what the likelihood of me bashing his skull in is if I were to use a Remington typewriter on a Thursday night after a Wednesday night where the temperature had fallen below 60ºF.
  4. And I'm a man that loves shitty writing.
  5. Just not when shitty writing is passed off as something of quality.
  6. Read it, motherfuckers
  7. Am I hired yet, Bill? You and I can sip root beers and talk about the fall of Inari Vachs sometime.
