    Both Honey Badger and Johnny Football were pretty sweet nicknames, in a vacuum.

    Once the media latched on and beat you to death with it, they started to wear thin.

    Do you know why I put up with this 'pitiful job', Mr. Donaghy, why I fetch these folks' lunches and clean up their barfs? Cause they make television. And more then jazz, or musical theater, or morbid obesity, television is the true American artform.
