Boobie Fumbles.
I don't have much to add or say about the embarrassing spectacle of Friday Night Lights author Buzz Bissinger crapping his own pants on teevee in an attempt to show up Will Leitch. I've been around long enough to know that anytime somebody goes into a windup for a big hatin' on the blogs rant,…
