NY Times exodus to SI continues

So it's been eight years and, with this as a rabbit, no one has matched or topped it yet?

This is why we need writers on 'roids.

 

IMO, the rest of the gamer minus the lede is great. I don't know why, but I feel the lede is a little bit overdone. If that wins you awards and gets you noticed, call me Captain Hyperbole.

 

The lede was so overwritten, I stopped reading.

 

Given your handle, Turbo, I feel compelled to offer up some advice: In writing, as in humping, it's sometimes better to circle the object of your affection for a little while before trying to jam a fist up its ass.

 

Maybe so, but circle too long, you won't get the chance to score. And while I generally think Selena is very good, she didn't score with me on this one.

 

Nice, guys. Very classy.

 

Easy, my friend. The Jones was recently voted "Most Likely To Punch A Fella In The Face For Any Joke Whose Humo(u)r Depends On The Words 'Beavertail' Or 'Poutain'" by the readers of the Thunder Bay Edition of L'Esquire Du'Nord. He also holds the Partial Transverse Redaction of the Large Bowel Chair in Non-Fiction at the prestigious SportsJournalists.com Writers' Workshop, which is a wholly-owned academic subsidiary of the esteemed Can U Draw? Matchbook Art Schools, LLC. He knows whereof he speaks.

 

This post is beautiful on like 16 different levels.

I wouldn't trade it for two Selena Roberts leads an a Gary Smith anacdote to be named later.

 

That would be "poutine," my friend. You don't want to know what "poutain" means ;-)

 

And yet how can any Ottawa boulevardier have the one without longing for the other? SJ styleguide sez stet.

 

That is an excellent point, M. le Boulevardier - one only a male could possibly conceive of and make. ;-)

 

No. It really isn't.
