    Finally got around to reading this article by Will Leitch (twice in 2 days!) about his experience on Bob Costas' HBO show from 8 months ago. To set the scene, Costas had on Leitch to semi-debate Buzz Bissinger on the amorphous topic "The Internet". Also along for the ride is Cleveland wide receiver Braylon Edwards, though he remains silent for the 2 minute thrashing for which I was able to find video.

    I was going to write a couple paragraphs talking about how Unlikely Words doesn't really do a lot of opinionating, and so hopefully Buzz Bissinger will keep us in his RSS reader, but I lost my steam. Sorry about that. I'll try harder tomorrow.
