And I, in a less-than-exceptional moment, went on television and called Ernie Provetti a terrible father. I said I’d be embarrassed to have such a wimpy daddy and suggested it would be okay if somebody gave Ernie a good hard smack.

Until Ernie did what guys rarely do when it comes to sporting passions. (via Michael Wilbon - Michael Wilbon: After ‘Big Baby’ Uproar, ‘CryDaddy’ Gets a Grip - washingtonpost.com )
