FanHouse's Top Five: That's Not English, Not Even in South Carolina



FanHouse's Top Five scans the sports blogosphere for the best posts of the last 24 hours so you don't have to. Got something for this feature? Hit us up at fanhouse@googlegroups.com.

People, it's OK to be stupid. Stupidity is fun. It's carefree. It's completely devoid of the concerns many have for this world, including "U.S. Americans" and "some people" like "the Iraq, and other people like, the such as" so we will be able "to build up our future." Because when intelligent people all trying to fix the world and such as get stuck, who will they come to?

Well, not Ms. South Carolina. But I've heard arguments for keeping the confederate flag on the statehouse that were less well-reasoned than this. (Great find, PostGameHeroes.)

Good friends the Mottram brothers got a shot of DeAngelo Hall's message for Chad Johnson last night, a haircut that said "I Own U 85" in considerably blocky letters. Unfortunately for DeAngelo, Chad Johnson had five catches for 83 yards and a score, and Hall got particularly burned on a slant-and-go that saw Hall leave the TV frame entirely while Johnson streaked down the sideline. It was only preseason, but it's time to get a haircut, Hall. Immediately.

3) Mr. Met is a thug. I know most of us like to apply that term only to basketball players, or football players (whichever sport you're trying to compare unfavorably to the college game that day), but far too often does the blatant thug-ism in Major League Baseball go unchecked. The latest example? Mr. Met goes on a Kyle Farnsworth-esque tirade and gets himself hauled away by stadium security as furtively as possible. What next? Mr. Met shows up at a random wedding and gets his freak on the whole night? Oh, yeah ...

4) It's a few days old now, but this Airing of Grievances post on the Rucker Tournament over the weekend is a must-read. Rucker remains a basketball pilgrimage I've yet to take, and in the meantime, posts like this will have to suffice as my experience. Great stuff.

I'm all for an appreciation of the fairer sex, but methinks Darren Rovell -- he of the usually detached, reasoned business sensibilities -- is really developing a crush on Ana Ivanovic. Like, really developing a crush.
