Happy Hernia Halloween

Wishing all of you a very Happy Hernia Halloween.  In celebration of this bizarre day, here's a picture of the popular Ron Washington kid, who will yell "play ball" tonight at Game 4 of the World Series.  And yes, our source in Dallas has confirmed he will be snorting Fun Dip.

CRITICAL NOTE: If this were the Hernia's kid, he would've had a rolled up dollar bill, a credit card, and an Aaron Neville CD as his props.

NY Post takes expected gentle route over Romo injury

We're genuinely impressed that the New York Post didn't go full throttle with "ROT IN PIECES!" or something more befitting like, "LOL! LOOK AT TONY HOMO!"  A spastic round of armpit noises are certainly in order here, folks.

Plea to Vince McMahon: Hire this man immediately

For the first time in the history of the world, we've found someone worthy of Macho Man's storied entrance music.  Make it happen, Vinnie Mac. 

And eat your heart out, Slick.  Or better yet, join Mr. McMillan as he bravely fights for Rent Revolution in New York City.  We're pretty sure his mustache/beard masterpiece has super powers an ex-WWF manager could only dare dream of.

Tony Reali nails "Metrosexual/Mad Men/Jersey Boys/Chelsea Pony Boy" look

Pardon The Interuption's Tony Reali was kind enough to unveil his daring new "Metro-sexual/Mad Men/Jersey Boys/Pony Boy" look yesterday on ESPN.  While we're certainly appreciative of his bizarre journey back in time, there were some glaring issues.

Errors and Omissions

Errors: Use of toxic hair gel; Neglecting to look in mirror

Omissions: White t-shirt, black leather jacket, Soda Pop, Dallie, Pony Boy, the rest of the Greasers, and quite obviously, Tobias Wolf.

Bonus points to Tony Kornheiser for calling him Ed Grimley.
