Jeff Pearlman finds Sports by Brooks, scraps article

Outside Sports wrote about Jeff's 2009 blog post and at the bottom, to tie this thread together, is a nod to Sports by Brooks.

SI columnist rips swimsuit issue

 

I was in the same class in college with Molly Simms. Anyone who says she's not dropdead gorgeous has abdicated any right to comment on people's looks or what's attractive to others. Still, point taken, Jeff has been a wienie in print for a lot longer than I expected.

 

Then shouldn't they have a real job by now?

 

Pearlman has a right to his opinion. Ms. Sims is very pretty but she definitely is skinny. More to the point, in the age of free instant internet porn, why the issue continues other than nostalgia. ESPN the Body has much more interesting nude picture of real athletes.

Anyway I would love to see a profile of Brooks Melchior who was one of the first pioneers/stars of online sports entertainment and gossip.

 

I dunno, there's something to be said for the tantalizing element and not seeing the goods. Then again, I hate strip clubs and always have, so maybe I'm in the minority. Is that an unpopular admission?

 

You're responding to an imaginary ... everything.

 

The go to comment for SJ's who lack...everything
