The end of an American institution

With the end of 2007 comes the end of the Internet's greatest weekly column, A.J. Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker over at Deadspin. Every Friday for the past while, Daulerio crunched the numbers and gave us betting lines for sport's most wacky improbabilities. And he did it with a command of the English language rarely seen in today's media, especially considering his equally impressive knowledge of obscure sexual feats. Highlights from his time at Deadspin include a trip to the Super Bowl, meeting Andre Rison and Kordell Stewart and one particularly great Oddsmaker column, which includes a real life shout-out to yours truly.

Everything he wrote on Deadspin made me laugh out loud. That's about the highest praise I know how to give. If you have some time to kill and would like to laugh with me, check out his Oddsmaker column HERE and his other Deadspin work HERE.
