Lil Wayne Is Easily the Best Thing That Ever Happened on Around The Horn (Video)

Lil Wayne was on Around the Horn yesterday, becoming, by a Pacific Ocean-wide margin, the greatest thing to ever happen to that program (which is mostly a place for Jay Mariotti to close the gap on Skip Bayless for being the worst ESPN personality). A YouTuber has assembled a clip of the show that is exclusively Lil Wayne's comments, and while I disagree with him wholeheartedly re: hockey fights (if there weren't fights, Sydney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, and the leagues other stars would be slashed, hooked, and cross-checked into oblivion), he kept an even keel demeanor, cracked jokes about Lawrence Taylor, and was pretty insightful about sports topics without yelling over Michael Smith, or writing horribly lame jokes on a chalkboard, or saying that Woody Paige has a small penis near the end in a joke that played like a pile of shit telling a pool of puke it stinks (that was Mariotti, of course).

He's better than 90% of the sports analysts out there. I'm impressed.

Yeah, I think the guys that are usually on there should feel ashamed that he outdid them as hard as he did here.

'Lil Woody' Those are fighting words. I guess Lil Wayne doesn't like athletes on steroids, he just likes to be on syrup and cocaine while he watches sports on his home theater.

Hockey fights are criminal and I mean that literally.
The NFL is just as physical as the NHL. But you don't see any fights. Why? Hit Peyton Manning illegally, and the ref throws a flag. 15 yard penalty against the defense. Case Closed, you don't see any retaliation because there's no need for it, the refs are in control and player's respect one another.
Same thing in hockey. Hit Crosby or Malkin illegally and the ref penalizes you, no need for fights. Why fighting in hockey then? Because the small brains who run the league think it sells tickets. Sure it sells some, but for every ticket sold, 10 potential buyers turn away from what they see as a circus.
