SportsFilter: The Friday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

Miguel Batista is a genius. Well, almost.
Today, I'm going to attempt to insult Miss Iowa in partial jest.
But instead of sending her flowers afterward with an apology as Batista did, I'd like to hand deliver them.
From what I can tell, a meet and greet opportunity with Miss Iowa would be well worth the long moment of public ridicule I'd have to endure.
