    Don't think he (or she) said any colors were offensive. Just ugly.

    Which colors are ugly?

    That's the second Spencer Hall column this month that does nothing but name-call another well-known columnist. Is he really that insecure about his position in the world? Spencer: You're doing fine.

    LTL, what issue is there with the substance of the column? It's something people are talking about and he's offering a pretty smart take. That's what a lot of blogs do. It's not like he's wasting valuable internet space with that column.

    Tattoos are the wave of the future for NFL quarterbacks, so, looking ahead, I'm interested in how ESPN will factor such personal flaws in decision-making into Total QBR.

    Does anyone here have one?

    I don't. But I always say that if I complete either the Boston Marathon or an Ironman Triathlon, my first stop after the finish line will be a tattoo parlor.

    I'm getting ready to take my son to gym class while showing off my lower-arm tattoos. I'll report back when I return. Hopefully the other parents will not shun me.

    I don't find the take all that smart. I also don't find the characterization that he's lazy and should work harder at being a racist all that smart. Plus with the ridiculous Wetzel hit piece I think it's establishing a pattern. Not uncommon for the blog world, they laugh with each other about how they took down the old guys.

    That's not why they'll shun you.

    That's a new discovery for ya? (While making it clear that Whitley's take was stoopid).

    Unless sj is considered a microcosm.
