Why do I do this to myself?

The Bad Tooth over at the Lemur today, questioning the close NYG-Philly line:

The most perplexing line of the playoffs. Because Philly shocked New York in a must-win Week 15 game that meant nothing to the Giants -- when they were dealing with the single biggest distraction of the season (Cheddar Plaxgate), no less -- that means Week 19 will be tight?
Well, two points.

1) It was Week 14. Which took me five seconds to check online.

2) The Giants were playing for the division and the #1 seed against a team they probably hate more than anyone in the NFL.

He then closes with, surprise!, a Rocky reference. Which was tired 15 years ago, dead 10 years ago, and just plain necrophilia now... and is done to especially inflame, since his pick is against the Philly team. Why not just go all the way with your wrestling heel self and just wipe your ass with a Dawkins jersey? And people wonder why Boston Fan is hated. (And yes, Boston Fan, he's *yours*. Own it.)

Seriously, Lemur, do you not make this guy use an editor because he cries too much, or because everyone keeps poking the Tooth for ad impressions regardless of content?
