Woke up this morning, and somehow stumbled upon the following piece of news. I only could shake my head in disgust. From the DC Sports Bog post, here's the rundown.
A reader emails this: "I am pretty sure I just saw Lastings Milledge do the 'I can't feel my face' after an RBI single in the bottom of the 2nd inning. After his hit the camera panned to him at first base, and right then I saw what appeared to be Milledge waving his hand in front of his face."
Dan Steinberg goes on to say this:
Nah, couldn't be...I got ready to ask him about his face feeling during his ESPNZone appearance this afternoon, waving my hand in front of my face to demonstrate.
"Oh, the DeShawn Stevenson?" he said immediately. "Yeah, man, gotta keep it going."
Huh, keep it going? Keep what going exactly? Then Steinberg goes one to make some point about how DeShawn Stevenson's stupidity is somehow good for the game or the playoffs or something like that. I don't know, I didn't get it. But here are a couple thoughts that popped into my little head as I read this article.
1. Okay, this is Lastings...um...Milledge we're talking about here. Who? Yeah, that's what I said.
2. This "can't feel my face" (CFMF) incident occured when Milledge hit an RBI single in bottom of the 2nd inning. Let me repeat that. It was one RBI. And it was the bottom of the second inning. ONE RUN. BOTTOM OF THE SECOND INNING.
3. DeShawn Stevenson ripped off this whole "CFMF" thing from WWE wrestler John Cena. Cena has been doing a move called "You can't see me" for years now. Rumor is it actually originally came from Tupac Shakur and that's where Cena got it from, but I can't find anything solid on that. But either way you look at it, it ain't original.
4. Ooh ooh, I have a great original idea. I'm thinking of starting an all new never-seen-before trash talking move where I wave my hand in front of my face. Yeah, it'll be really cool dude. And I'll call it something cool like "You can't see the big screen door that's in front of my face, punk." Yeah, I know it's looks like the "You can't see me" and the "You can't feel my face", but it is totally different. Yeah, homie, that's how I'm gonna roll from now on.
