Aussie With World's Largest Collection Of Antoine Walker Memorabilia May Also Have World's Only Collection Of Antoine Walker Memorabilia

This Is What Happens When ESPN.com Attempts To Fight Back
At some point this evening, the ESPN comment moderators lost their minds and decided to attempt to deal with the Greater Than Tebow meme that's been raging on a Bill Williamson post for the past three days.

The ESPN.com comment section is a den of iniquity and misspelling, and for the world's largest sports site, it's curiously inessential.
