ESPN, you're my dirty girl

I called Bill Walker a dick about a week ago.

I'd watched this You Tube video of the Boston Celtics rookie and former Kansas State Wildcat getting handsy (but not Reggie Evans handsy) with Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming.

I called out Walker's moves because he was nearly inciting a brawl in the first freaking quarter. I figured I'd get shit from watchers of Willie the Wildcat and maybe some Celts fans, and then my own dickishness would disappear on the Internet. But no.

Thanks, ESPN.

The Disney-owned "Worldwide Leader in Sports" splashed the "Bill Walker is a dick" headline on Walker's player profile page. And, as Both Teams Played Hard says, "hilarity ensued."

Check NBA Fanhouse's Brett Edwards' superb recap of what Both Teams calls the "now-infamous post."

Special thanks to Basketbawful for nabbing the screen shot. See, I'm not a total dick.
