Early life
Magary grew up in Minnesota and Connecticut and attended the University of Michigan before transferring to Colby College where he majored in English and was a walk-on football player. Early in his career, Magary worked in advertising as a copywriter.
Journalism
Magary was one of the founding contributors to the NFL humor website Kissing Suzy Kolber. He later became a contributor to the sports website Deadspin and has become the site's resident columnist, providing humorous commentary and answering reader mail in an irreverent and often profane style. In addition to the main Deadspin site, he also contributes to its culture sub-site The Concourse and humor sub-site Adequate Man. His annual "Why Your Team Sucks" columns are one of the most popular features on Deadspin, in which he roasts every NFL franchise and mocks the weaknesses of both the team and its city.
Magary has worked frequently as a correspondent for GQ magazine. In 2013 Magary interviewed Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson for the magazine and the article became widely covered for several controversial comments made by Robertson, particularly concerning homosexuality. He has also written articles for NBC, Maxim, Rolling Stone, Comedy Central, New York, ESPN, Yahoo!, Playboy, The Atlantic, and Penthouse.
Chopped
In 2012, Magary applied to appear on an amateurs episode of the cooking competition show Chopped. He posted the answers to the application's questions in an installment of his humor column on Deadspin.
In April 2015, Magary appeared on the ninth episode of Chopped's 22nd season, which featured other amateur home cooks, and won the episode's $10,000 prize. After the episode aired, his Deadspin colleague and former NFL player Chris Kluwe posted a satirical review of the episode.
