The title of the topic does not do it justice, but Spencer's thoughtful piece on the nature of college football coaches and alcohol is definitely worth your time on this Friday afternoon.
College Coaches, Drinking, and Two Men at the Rail
(yes, I realize most of you read EDSBS every day, but this is a great piece of writing.)
How does Orson

By the last quarter of that...
...piece, I was reading it with a slurred voice in my head.
Hit me, barkeep.

Don't get me wrong, I love
Don't get me wrong, I love love LOVE the sort of highbrow yet childish humor that Spencer dishes out every day. But when he gets serious it's some of the very best the internet can offer. I still regularly read his article on Miami apropos of nothing because it's just that damn good.

Complete agreement. I really
Complete agreement. I really liked the piece linked in the OP. It was poignant, well-written, and (for me) not the kind of thing I expect from Orson. And the last paragraph is very good.
Great read.
First I read the article, then the article read the article, then the article read me.

In a lightening counterpoint
EDSBS also has their taxonomy of coaches feature up today:

Their choice was a bloat of Hokes. I would have gone with a pointer of Hokes. Also, please know, it is and always shall be a tremendous of Carrs.

Great article.
Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being sought. It always defeats order because it is better organized.
Spencer
Spencer consistently brings it. He's great at coming up with ridiculous memes (FUCK CLEMSON, Purdue's non-existence, the .gif he has for Delaney), creating an environment for absolutely hysterical commenters, doing incredibly creative columns (some of his Schnelly columns are inspired), and then every once in a while dropping a bomb like this.
This was good. I think the piece he did when Urban Meyer left was better, but this is good.
Orson's great, but I'm not
Orson's great, but I'm not sure I'd agree that Holgerson may not have gone over the edge. He'll be 40 this month and is getting tossed from casinos for being a belligerent drunk. His actions may hurt his day-to-day life's work. He's got issues.

There is no time, sir, at which ties do not matter.
