Hmmm...

So while I was soaping my well-defined pectorals in the shower this morning, a commonly used exclamation from SportsCenter popped into my head.

"He's country strong."

Now, in and of itself, that doesn't tell us very much, other than that said player is probably capable of lifting large amounts of weight. But let's delve deeper.

Are Stuart Scott, Neil Everett, Dan Patrick, etc... saying he's strong because he worked on a farm and ate corn while growing up? Or are they saying (I think this is probably it), that said player is as strong as entire nation? That's one hell of an exclamation.

Are they going to start identifying which country? And if a player is bad, are they going to shout, "He is weak like Ukraine!" ??? I sure hope so.

And maybe, just maybe, they will reference a newly formed country in such an exclamation and say, "Adam Dunn, like the newly formed nation of [insert Eastern European country here], shows the World what sovereignty means as he crushes a curveball into the seats in left field."

Wow, this was much funnier in my head...
