I Saw My Ghost Dragged By Carpet

Found February 01, 2011 on FreeDarko:

Here's a piece I did for The Good Men Project about what I like to call "sports criticism". That would be the intersection of sports and criticism. I wrote it a while ago but couldn't get it published until now. You can tell that from how heavily it leans on a long-ago Simmons column. Enjo!

UPDATE: This video is new to me. Thanks, Extra Large!
