ESPN.com currently has a headline making fun of now-ex Ravens head coach Brian Billick's quote indicating that he "know[s] quarterbacks".
That's all well and good, except they call BRIAN BILLICK Bill Bellick. If Brian Billick and Bill Belichick had a child, his name still wouldn't be Bill Bellick. In fact, that might be the greatest compliment Billick has ever received. It's a portmanteau of the best accidental value.
[A portmanteau is when you squish two words together to make one. Fantastic + Fabulous = Fantabulous. Bill Belichick + Brian Billick = Bill Bellick.]
ESPN.com, you are the Holy Grail of sports blogs. We expect perfection, and I keep getting less than perfection. My law school journal got more shit right than you do.
