    All right, Deadspin commentariat, you got in a solid hour of heckling. Now I must return to mother's basement to burn towels and breathlessly await regular season football.

    In return for reading and disseminating the Manifesto, what sort of honorific position can I have once the coup is carried out?

    Does this book finally reveal the exact amount paid by Pittsburgh to the referees prior to the Super Bowl against Seattle?

    "About half the teams in the league have policies that require PSLs. That's half a league ready to dry-hump their fans for the sweet release of the green. Why anyone would allow themselves to be fleeced by these organizations, no matter how much you may love their product on the field, is beyond the bounds of reason. Fandom knows no quit, but it does know a shit deal when it sees one."
    If only you wrote with such passion for the KSK fantasy/sex mailbags.

    Is the page numbering system in the book easy to comprehend? I can't follow those lower-case Roman numerals they put in the front part sometimes.

    What advantages does this book have over, say, a train—which I could also afford?

    At the risk of raising the level of discourse, does the chapter include a solution to the problem?
    PSL don't seem to be going anywhere in the near future, particularly in light of the Double J's multi-billion exercise in penile compensation, and professional sports are still a business. Who pays for the stadiums? Do we go back to public funding? Do we even need new stadiums?

    @JimEverettsPhantomSack: I would say the need for new stadiums for one manufactured by the owners themselves for the sake of "staying competitive". Fans need to make it clear to owners that such a move is something they need to bankroll in full. Sadly, that's not an easy groundswell to create.

    Where did you find such a highly-flammable Ravens hat for the [shudder] Terrible Towel-burning video? Speaking of which, can we start a tiki torch craze at Baltimore tailgates?

    How thick is the book? Could you, say, fit it in between the goal line and the football that Santonio Holmes caught against the Ravens last year?
    Could you fit two copies of the book in that space?
