Perhaps she’s still gun shy in the aftermath of Gundygate — or maybe she really is just a terrible journalist —but Jenni Carlson’s recent profile of OU’s new tennis coach left out some important information. The information regarded boogers.
When John Roddick powered up his cell phone after one of the biggest wins of his brother’s career, he had a load of text messages.
Not about the match.
The messages were instead about his shirt. The huge block letters on the front — OKLAHOMA — were hard to miss on Centre Court at Wimbledon, not to mention the world-wide television broadcast.
That’s the way he wanted it, too.
Yeah, I’m sure that’s the way he wanted it. But more likely, the texts were teasing him about this:
But that’s just me. And Deadspin. And just about every other person in the world who now knows who John Roddick is only because he was a booger eating spaz during the biggest event the sport of tennis has to offer.
The fact that she pointed out Roddick’s attire actually was important. Only Chad Istook did a worse job of promoting the University of Oklahoma over the past few weeks, but you would have no idea of that after reading Carlson’s rundown of events. According to her, the failed diver/wrestler/tennis player who is trading on his popular younger brother’s mojo was a great hire to the university because he dudded up in Sooner gear while coyly munching on snot.















You forgot the ‘!’ that is supposed to be in front of the ‘=’ in line 1. Otherwise, good piece. 91/100
How much alcohol did you have to consume to get you to write a headline that included “Jenni Carlson” and “Great Journalist”?
Boogers are underrated as a snack food.
