"Actual men's locker room talk," per JOHN BUSSEY of noted left-wing rag THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: "...ibuprofen.." "Who's your orthopedist?.." "..finally up to 3 miles..." "..taking the kids to Lion King..." OK, but he's not an athlete, how does he know? Fair enough. Several outlets including THE WASHINGTON POST and DEADSPIN checked the timelines of actual athletes who spend a good deal of time in actual locker rooms across professional football, baseball, basketball and soccer and found nothing but men defending the honor of those rooms, from the LA DODGERS' BRETT ANDERSON to the PHILADEPHIA 76ERS' KENDALL MARSHALL to the ATLANTA FALCONS' JACOB TAMME. Tamme tweeted that the way the presidential candidate and the TV presenter chatted on that bus is "not normal," even in a locker room. OK, but maybe all those guys are lying. It seems unlikely, but let's pretend they are. Here's the most important point of all, from Tamme, a 31-year-old tight end with 17 receptions this year, two touchdowns and a solid sense of right and wrong: "Even it were normal, it's not right"... More reflections on locker room talk, from The NEW YORK TIMES' BILL PENNINGTON... You can have your TEDDY BALLGAMEs, your YAZes, your PEDROs. For my money, DAVID ORTIZ, whose MAJOR LEAGUE career ended MONDAY night, was the most important player in the history of my hometown BOSTON RED SOX. A leader on and off the field, an inspiration to a city and an unflappable ballplayer who repeatedly rose to the biggest occasions. A deliverer of walk-off hits, grand-slam smiles and WORLD SERIES rings. Feared and respected to the bitter end. The historic record will show that in his last at-bat, where he was the potential tying run in the eighth inning of an OCTOBER game, he walked on four pitches. And then walked off the field to the sound of 39,000 people yelling "PAPI" and high-fived seemingly every hand in the Red Sox dugout. If he gets DH'd out of the HALL OF FAME five years from now—I don't even want to finish that thought. Just don't do it, writers... How to hit like a girl... RUTH BADER GINSBURG vs. COLIN KAEPERNICK... RIP BROCK YATES.
