Rank Journalism
From yesterday's Pioneer Press, sports columnist Bob Sansevere, on the Vikings' recent play:
There's a reason the Vikings have one of the NFL's worst-ranked defenses. The reason is, it has a tendency to reek like underwear that hasn't been changed in three weeks.
Ba-boom! Upon first reading that, I admit to laughing out loud. For all the wrong reasons.
How much time did Sansevere spend crafting that simile? Ten seconds? Five seconds? No seconds?
I fear it's only going to get worse. Remember, the Packers come to town on Friday. Bringing with them one Mr. Najeh Davenport. The nature of his criminal past and the nature of Sasevere's prose, it's the perfect storm of scatological references. Parents, keep the kids away from the Pioneer Press sports section on Satuday morning, it could get very ugly.
