Because the British have a notoriously elegant sense of humor, they've been quite taken with the names of Olympians like luger Semen Pavlichenko and ski jumper Andreas Wank. Wait 'til they get a load of this guy. Sadly, there is no athlete with the mellifluous moniker of Cunty Spunkfuckshitpiss. And no, the BBC did not run somehow run that name on its chyron.

It was no use. Whenever the Bengals play a playoff game, my brain sets itself to INSTAWIPE because it knows it the game will not be worth preserving in memory. The Bengals have lost in the first round of the playoffs for four straight years by a combined score of 103-43. They have…
