EXCELLENT Bob Ryan column on the harshness of pro FB

He's still got his fastball. This is as fine a read as I've seen in a daily in a long time.

That... was... awesome! Not a single wasted word, and a thorough analysis without being too preachy. Columns like that are just delicious.

 

I wish. I'm just a nobody, unqualified to criticize anyone as I clean erasers and pine for the field hockey story at the HS paper. Just ask two-bit.

 

Gotta like an Agincourt reference.

 

Good get, BYH.

And a hell of a column, Mr. Ryan.

 

Sharp column.

 

Not as big a fan as some of you are about this one. Takes you one direction, then rapidly another, and to the detriment of his decent prose, which is put to service of a point that is a shock to zero percent of people reading it.

 

Dooley, you' re just a contrarian dickbag.

 

What would a contrarian dickbag be? A dickbag not big enough to hold a dick?

 

Wait...there are bags that hold dicks?

Is that like a bowl of dicks? Only portable?

 

Yeah, a Porta-Dick.
