Around the Horn Gets Awkward Discussing Jay Mariotti Arrest

For those of you that missed Monday's edition of Around the Horn, here is the panel of Bob Ryan/Woody Paige/and Kevin Blackistone discuss Jay Mariotti's worst day ever.Essentially, everyone on the panel sticks up for Mariotti (well, not for his actions, of course) and continue to rag on the ever present blogospheric media/players/coaches throwing him under the bus.Man, I still would have loved to hear how Tim Cowlishaw felt about it.

Political Correctness

I remember, a little bit ago, how we would laugh over the politically correct terms we were to use instead of what were common--and we would make jokes.  Of course, one of the jokes was that the politically correct term for 'short' was 'vertically challenged.'  'Bald' men were 'follicle-ly challenged.'  And so on.  Now, I'm not, by any means, trying to say we should go back to the days when 'those words' were used commonly--and we all know what 'those words' were--but it is getting a bit ridiculous.I recently read an article...
