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.
Wow. That's...sure...something.

I am really having to work even to come up with decent snark in response to that article. The best I can come up with right now is "whoa - even I could have done better than that."

I made it about two screens in and gave up. Was that a 7th grade school assignment?
Dear lord that was bad.

I was going to post last week's column by The Secret Footballer in the wake of Gary Speed's untimely death, because it dealt with depression among professional sportspeople. However, The Guardian site pulled it soon after. The Secret Footballer has, however, written a follow up which covers much the same ground, and references the cases of Gary Speed and Robert Enke.

Possibly the single-worst article written about baseball that I have ever read.
This makes Bleacher Report look like the New York Times.
There are a couple of good ideas in there, but it just reinforces the "every blind squirrel finds a nut" theory. Even the good ideas are effortlessly butchered with punctuation, grammatical, and historical inaccuracies.
