    It's not like this is something new with him. A few weeks after September 11, at Hefner's roast, he started his set by saying he had to catch a plane but didn't get a direct flight because they had to connect to the Empire State Building first.

    The lesson: Tweeting something is worse than speaking it.

    I'm just glad he didn't cheer in the press box.

    If that happens, I'll make a joke about you, then delete it after a few days of people telling me I'm an asshole.

    Perhaps Aflac finally realized that the damn duck had run its course.

    I know that it would eventually happen after Geico stepped on that lizard.

    Gilbert is a very socially inept person who is hilarious on the Howard Stern Show.

    That said, the man is a profesional comedian, and I would think he would have a better fastball.

    Like (and, yes, I am going to burn in hell)...

    I guess the new national pastime of Japan is treading water.

    Wouldn't AFLAC have all they ever would need from Gilbert in the can by now?
