]]> <![CDATA[The Middle America Team Defeats The Houstons]]> I think Weintraub is kinda funny.

And, in fact, it's fairly simple not to click the link if you don't want to read his stuff. It's very little trouble at all. Just keep scrolling.

Unless you all click the link wanting to bitch abou...

Wait.

That's what it is, isn't it.

]]> <![CDATA[The Middle America Team Defeats The Houstons]]> Fine. Fine. You take Grantland Rice, and I'll take FPA:

These are the saddest of possible words:
"Weintraub has posted today."
Our sparkling punchbowl's filled up with turds:
"Weintraub has posted today."
Ruthlessly writing the prose that displeases,
Which lingers too long, like infectious diseases,
I'd rather read writing puked out by a Rhesus,
If Weintraub has posted today.

]]> <![CDATA[The Middle America Team Defeats The Houstons]]> For what it's worth, this is probably the best of the four "Purple Prose" pieces that Weintraub has posted thus far. And yes, I understand that by saying that I'm admitting to having read all of them. In their entirety.

]]> <![CDATA[The Middle America Team Defeats The Houstons]]> All these "It sucks" comments = people are paying attention to it!

"It sucks" comments = page views
page views = money
money = a bigger dick

Therefore, you're all just making Weintraub's dick bigger.

]]> <![CDATA[The Middle America Team Defeats The Houstons]]> @CIALIS COOPER: even betterer!!!

Dan Levy

]]> <![CDATA[The Middle America Team Defeats The Houstons]]> Ole' "12 To 6" offered 127 pills to the mostly bedazzled men from Space City.

How the hell did the nickname "12 to 6" get given to Andy Reid's son?

Doyle McPoyle

]]> <![CDATA[The Middle America Team Defeats The Houstons]]> Is there a point to this? Is it a recollection of how effusive sportswriting had to be in the days when you couldn't see every game? Is it mockery of the old style of writing?

Or am I nuts for just wondering what the point is?

]]> <![CDATA[The Middle America Team Defeats The Houstons]]> Dear Mr. Weintraub:
I actually said I liked last week's piece. But in this one, you're trying way too hard. Not every ballplayer needs a cutesy 50s-style nickname. "The Tarzana Tarzan?" Really?
Thank you for listening,

]]> <![CDATA[The Middle America Team Defeats The Houstons]]> I would rather read a Buzz Bissinger column that a Weintraub column anyday.

REally why in the hell would Deadspin post a Weintraub column today. With some new visitors possibly visiting the site you dont want them to see something like this.

]]> <![CDATA[The Middle America Team Defeats The Houstons]]> @Rob Iracane: True enough. However, if said server would not eat comments immediately after their posting OR entire posts, I and many other would not place blame on He Who Is Not To Be Named.

I have only read their work here... and it ain't all that.
