Listing 650 Random Athletes on a Flight Is the Future of Travel

The latest trend out there is dudes "raw dogging" flights — just sitting there with no form of entertainment from takeoff to landing — but this is a far better way to spend a few hours. Everybody knows there's no better way to pass some time with your boys than sitting around and naming random athletes from 15-20 years ago, but this guy has changed the game by putting pen to paper solo.

This is what the male brain was built to do. What good is watching Chase d'Arnaud play professional baseball while simultaneously being the frontman for the Chase d'Arnaud Band if you don't have a place to pull that piece of trivia out at some point?

I just want to know how many athletes I could sit down and name right now. It's obviously a pretty arduous and mundane task if you're really going for it and trying to max out, but I think I have to do it after seeing this. This guy's 655 sounds like a lot until you figure you can do five a minute pretty easily for a good while and look at his list of names. There aren't really that many deep cuts on there. You obviously start with the big names, but I've got Joey Terdoslavich and Perria Jerry in my bag. I firmly believe I could put up 2,000.

Next time you're on a plane, don't pay the $8 for wifi — that should be illegal, by the way — and try this instead. Put your ball knowledge to good use.
