Grant is Very Funny, ESPN.com Notices

I don't know if this has been posted or noticed, but ESPN.com's Jonah Keri has an article on the site's Page 2 that links to Grant's Onion parody.

Here's the link

ESPN.com finally says something truthful, not annoying, and relevant.

Is the world ending?

Strikeouts are boring. Besides that, they're fascist. Not boring: Emmanuel Burriss. Not fascist: SF Dugout

Of course it's ending...didn't you get the memo?

"This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions."
"What do you mean, "biblical"?"
"What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff."
"Exactly."
"Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling."
"Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes..."
The dead rising from the grave."

"Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria."

Generally you don't see that kind of behavior from a major network newsource.

The Onion parody was amazing, but this is still Grant's greatest achievement.

If you root for the Dodgers, the terrorists have already won.

Haha, yes, that one was absolutely brilliant!

Re: Grant is Very Funny, ESPN.com Notices

I was wondering why a friend of mine (and Red Sox fan) randomly forwarded me the Onion parody.

And here I thought he was sitting at his desk at work googling, "The Dodgers are Evil."

Do they know to win the game a team has to actually score at least once?

Congrats, Grant. A step up from Kruk and Kuip's name-dropping the site on FSN last season.

FWIW, Jonah Keri's new baseball column on is quite good. It's already one of the few must-read sections of that site, along with Bill Simmons and Paul Lukas' Uniwatch.
