    Who knew Charlie Weis was facing such a raging, unforgiving puberty.

    So I realized the link to my blog is messed up. Since I am amazing at typos I'm going to assume this is my fault. Here's the link if anyone is interested. [girlsdontknowsports.blogspot.com]

    @GirlsDontKnowSports:


    From your blog:


    "The one thing I am not excited about is the new Speedo LZR suits. Part of the fun of watching swimming was the mostly naked men with the Adonis bodies."


    Hmmm, in your Waxing Off post you said that although most women prefer a "strong, athletic guy", you were into "undernourished" guys. Playing to your audience, perhaps?


    You are dead to this emaciated Deadspin reader.

    @WanderingBear: No, just very suspicious of women who blog about sports who claim to like undernourished guys. If they truly liked undernourished guys they would blog about comic books or the crisis in Darfur.

    Seriously, I'm getting crap for a typo and no one is questioning the crush on Charlie Weis. Come on deadspin, spread the criticism around. I stand by my choice.

    @GirlsDontKnowSports:


    Hers was a poor attempt at comedy. The others seem actually legit, for better or for worse.


    Also, how is Faldo unconventional? He's a relatively good-looking rich successful golfer with a thing for younger women and a British accent.

    @Texy: Yeah, I was a bit puzzled by the Faldo choice as well. If you're going to go "unconventional choice" and "golfer," you really need look no further than John Daly.

    @Steve_U: Faldo is unconventional because he's not Adam Scott or Sergio Garcia. He's not even Padraig Harrington.


    But I would seriously question the sanity of anyone who picked John Daly. There's "unconventional" and then there's "clinically insane".
