Slow Clap.

Weintraub can bring his foppery to Deadspin whenever he wants. He can leave the Oracle of Textual Porn's accumulated intuitions on the cutting-room, though.

What would be really funny is if Weintraub turned the concept on its head and had one of today's young hip writers covering a 19th century game of rounders in their cool contemporary style.
