Poor Richard.
It's so difficult to get those fabulous ESPN gigs when the Houston teams just won't cooperate. The Yaoless, Macless Rockets are a snoozer, the Texans never get over the hump while the Astros are in decline. And all three teams are filled mostly with clean-cut good citizens. What's a poor muckraker to do when Houston is his beat? Bait Brett Myers into a shouting match, that's about all I can think of.
BTW, am I only the only who looks at Richard's blog photo and thinks "You know, if penises had faces, his is what one would look like."
