Uhh, Otto?
There is playing poor defense, entirely blowing a play on defense, and not even trying to play defense ... and then there is whatever the hell Otto Porter was doing here.

Whiny Harvard Student Gets Skewered In Devastating Email
In the old days, disputes between Harvard students were settled one of three ways: pistols at dawn, a scullerman's joust, or trial by mayonnaise. Things have changed, though, and now the distinguished men of Harvard engage in combat like most millennials do: by sending unbearably long emails to ea...
