The absolute best summation of the Matthew Johns controversy I’ve read all week: “It’s the gayest thing ever.” And she means it in the literal sense. HA!

The photographs from the Mother’s Day Classic are now up! How hardcore am I? And check me out blowing past a couple guys pushing strollers. I’ve grabbed the others from the site as well.
