But aren't we supposed to be beyond the gratuitous homophobic comments and all? Seems to me some athletes have been beat up over this sort of thing, and by sportswriters, no less. Based on what I've read of you, Joe, you seem like too thoughtful a guy for this. So, they’re funny, and I like cursing as much as the next guy.

Seriously, I doubt that Jordan even knows what "felch" means (although he likely performed the act in at least one locker room, in a vain search for a protein source that would make his fastball exceed that of Tom Seaver.). Raab, on the other hand, is almost certainly a veritable felchaholic, not in the sense that HE IS ADDICTED TO FELCHING (calm down, ass-slurping degenerates), but rather in the sense that he, in all probability, carves up his opponents with frequent references to their proclivity for the felch. And if he doesn’t…well, then it’s only a matter of time, now that I’ve made the suggestion. Nonetheless, “swearing” be damned, I still curtsy at the oozing wake of the following passage: “As for Jordan, I’m a fan. Pat Jordan can write, and Pat Jordan can swear — and he also gets full credit for the seven decades he has spent milking his stunted minor-league career. The pride he takes in having learned to swear before, during, and after showering with other men is well-earned, and I have no doubt that, despite the homoerotic yearning at the heart of his oeuvre, his own sphincter, like the rest of his muscles, is still as supple as his prose.” Pat Jordan hasn’t displayed anything in same fucking zip code; at least not in the pinch. We’ll never prove that there’s such thing as a “clutch” hitter. But Scott is most assuredly a “clutch” writer. Despite Pat’s exhaustive background, I say,”Out with the OLD, and in with the NEW!!!” Now help me unzip, an’ lemme know if this thing looks infected, would ya????

Kudos to both for participating in the fun. Despite harsh words earlier both contestants definitely provided some choice lines that I will be stealing for use in my own conversations.
