Joe Posnanski writes for the Kansas City Star and happens to be my favorite sports writer. His sense of humor makes me look like a crazy person because I’ll sitting at court or in a library laughing all by myself at the newspaper.

Anyway, he runs a blog that’s mostly about baseball. His most recent post includes this:

OK, it’s 5 a.m. in the Oakland Airport — yeah, 5 a.m., this is what I’m going through so I could meet Dave Eggers — and I am staring straight at one of those little mini-airport billboards for something called “Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley.” The Laser Eye’s spokesman of choice? Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell.

The billboard reads: “Best Arm, Best Vision. JaMarcus can throw 80 yards with accuracy. Dr. Gary Kawesch enhanced Jamarcus’ vision in July 2007.”

I have to wonder if, in retrospect, Dr. Gary and the good people at Laser Eye regret putting all their commercial faith in the church of Jamarcus Russell Accuracy. What’s he hitting these days, about 45 percent of his passes? I mean, the guy could overthrow Wyoming. I’m not saying they should have completely abandoned the whole JaMarcus sales strategy, I’m just thinking they could have toned down the accuracy part just a little bit, you know, maybe gone with something a little more subtle like, “Great Arm. Improved Vision. JaMarcus can throw 80 yards. And if you think he misses receivers now, you should have seen him BEFORE Dr. Gary Kawesch enhanced his vision. I mean, seriously, the guy was like almost blind. He kept calling Dr. Gary, ‘Al.’ At one point, he tried to eat one of our coasters because he mistook it for a delicious cinnamon bear claw. Believe us, it could have been a lot worse

The rest is equally funny.
