sports fans are dirty

Well-intentioned or otherwise, the hygiene report smacks of misguided, namby-pamby, mommy-knows-best paternalism. At best.

At worst, it reflects a clear and obvious hatred of freedom. And probably puppies, too.
Hruby has, over the last several months, become my favorite funny guy on ESPN.com, surpassing Bill "Sports Guy" Simmons, who after getting his dumb-yayas out as a writer for Jimmy Kimmel's show, is now falling back into old bad habits and leaning too heavily on the more horrible features of pop culture, such as pro wrestling and reality TV.
