Seems to me we don’t talk enough sports in The Corner. (Or is it on The Corner?) I know we do talk sports a bit, especially if certain nasty East coast baseball rivalries are concerned, but for my tastes we are still short of the mark. And you shouldn’t talk about sports these days if you don’t know Jim Rome.
Rome’s daily syndicated show is to sports-talk radio what The Corner is to blogging; i.e. how it should be done, in a field where it is rarely done well. He is hilarious, insightful, and frequently very critical of all things in the world of sport — and then every once in a while he will wander out of sports and into life, and he’s great there, too.
So a hat tip to the Jungle (the show’s nickname for itself; they tend to give things nicknames a lot) for this: “18 Month-Old Child Still Nameless.”
If I’d named my kids at 18 months, they’d be “Won’t Eat” and “Won’t Sleep.” (A sensitive nod here to John P. about the teething.)
