Someone tell Jared to not tuck his shirt into his boxers. There has to be a degrading name for this. Anyone?

Yao Ming and his family still hold the record for worst high-five. I will not argue this.

Most random white people high 5 I've seen was during the 7th inning stretch at an A's game. After the crowd got done singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" two white guys high five'd each other on the jumbotron. And it wasn't because they were on the jumbotron because they didn't know that until after the high 5. Oddly, they didn't high 5 to celebrate that their original high 5 to celebrate successfully singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" got shown on the jumbotron.

I blame Wilbon. But I do like watching once-respected journalists go crazy in front of our eyes.

At least, thanks to Big Daddy Drew, when I saw the topics of Bissinger and horse sex, it didn't take long for me to put 2 and 2 together.

On the other hand, if Wilbon thinks blogs are devoted to cruelty he's obviously never read a Leitch-penned Ankiel post.
...
But yet again, those posts often can be cruel to the reader, so maybe he has a point.
