Boy, oh, boy. How long has it been since old Skip posted a Comment of the Week? Days? Weeks? Months? YEARS!? Mea culpa, ladies and gentlemen. Like a phoenix rising from Joe Altobelli’s ashes, I have returned for this week’s…





Few things make me chuckle more than a commenter who stumbles onto HJE, has no idea what’s going on, reads one article, and gets offended by it. Generally, that person knows someone from the B126 or the T79, and is here to defend his honor!

That’s why you are this week’s winner, Kyle Douglass. On the Ryan Klesko T79 entry, you penned this beauty:

I personally know Klesko and he is one of the only standup guys I ever met..He is sown to earth and cares about people..being a pro atherlete NEVER pretenious..loves kids and kicked ass on the field�get a life�what do you do for a living wwrite a sorry column�.come on buddie read a book and learn and dont waste anybody else time/energy on your jealous BS!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, Kyle. Kermit is jealous of Klesko, because he could use a flunkie like you. Writing HJE “for a living” isn’t paying the bills. With you running around defending his honor, Kermit would have time to get a real job! Maybe Kermit should read more books so he can one day be as smart as Ryan Klesko! If he reads enough, he may someday discover the meaning of the words “atherlete” or “pretenious” or “buddie.” Or perhaps he can unlock the mystery of how one man can be stitched TO THE EARTH ITSELF!

Congratulations, Kyle Douglass!
