Take a page from the Oklahoma playbook

Now you know what to do when you happen upon a Villanova fan in a bar...

Ben, you must appreciate the fantastic stock photo with this version:

It looks like they took that photo in the back of the press room, right before the story went live. Is the hand supposed to be grabbing a crotch? I can't tell.

By the way, since when does grabbing and squeezing a guy's crotch become the first line of defense in a bar fight? Were there no bottles nearby to break? No fisticuffs? That guy apprently didn't get his lessons from this guy.

Post all the sports related injuries you want, but that story is just too painful to read. Having a pregnant woman in the house already leaves me susceptible to sympathy pain. I don't want that kind of sympathy pain.

When I lived in Texas I was told to avoid the Red River Shootout at all costs - now I see why.

Perhaps the second-most disturbing thing about this story was the quasi-eunuch's attorney's dismissal of claims that his client may have antagonized the sack-grabbing Sooner as "total malarkey." Is that a standard term in the lexicon of jurisprudence or did this guy just happen to clerk under Foghorn Leghorn?

I'm glad that Safari has a built in dictionary for Jared's comment.

Fine, Ben, here's a condensed and somewhat "dumbed-down" version of my comment for any other vocabularily-challenged persons out there:

Nearly ball-less man's lawyer sounds as stupid as cartoon rooster.

Frankly I think it loses something in the translation, but the troglodytes among you should appreciate the fact that I left out as many pesky verbs and articles as possible.

Me fail English? That's unpossible.
