SI.com's Tortured Crawl Toward Relevance
Poor SI.com. Two years ago, ESPN.com's Page 2 took them so far by surprise that by the time they realized what had happened, Page 2 had already become stale and boring. (Except for you, Bill! We love you, Bill!) The undignified pant continues with a Sports and Star Wars: The Connection, a sad, tired attempt to fill space. (We know the feeling.) Among the discoveries SI.com makes:
—-Tom Brady is like Luke Skywalker. —-Phil Jackson is like Obi-Wan Kenobi. —-Johnny Damon is like Chewbacca. (The hair, you see.) —-Earl Boykins is like R2-D2. —-Barry Bonds is like Darth Vader.
Honestly, we don't have the heart to go on.

Update: The death crawl is official: Nick Bakay had the same idea.
