Who will be the pleasant surprise for the Tribe in 2015? (Don’t bother guessing)
April 7, 2015
Baseball is better than football
April 7, 2015A seminal moment for in the high school experience is going to prom. Despite the strides we’ve made toward gender equality, asking a girl to prom is still a rite of passage for largely male American teenagers. For many, it’s a harrowing experience seemingly designed to make the stomach turn, the palms sweat like a cold glass of iced tea on a hot summer day, and the connections between the brain and the mouth become temporarily severed, so that words awkwardly fumble out in no particular order. To be answered with a Yes is a triumphant victory on par with planting the flag on Iwo Jima; to be told No is devastating and registers as total humiliation in the still-undeveloped high school brain. Related fact: high school is a very silly place.
But it helps to have some help from Browns cornerback Joe Haden.
Joe Haden posted a Youtube video to Twitter on Tuesday, in which he reluctantly informs a young girl that, despite her affection for the Browns Pro Bowler, Haden is already taken. Instead, Haden asks the young girl to attend the prom with “the second best option, [his] boy Derek.” (Oddly, his Twitter handle is @REGGIEMAYER.) Set up with a great assist from Haden, Derek knocks down the shot.

Awwwwwwww. Did Joe Haden deprive this young gentleman of the character-building exercise that a solo solicitation requires? Probably. But it was so cool, and such a classy gesture from Haden, that it doesn’t matter. Needless to say, my high school experience would have been very different had Joe Haden been assisting me in my romantic endeavors. But alas, we can’t all be so lucky. Oh, and from what we can tell, she said Yes. This Kayla must be a very special girl.

He could have just texted her.
Isn’t that how all kids “communicate” today?
Kyle: Not sure how old you are, but would Joe Haden actually have helped you? Depending on when you went to prom, Joe might have been a kid. I know he wouldn’t have helped me. Some random 2-year old kid stumbling over his words wouldn’t have helped at all. I was just fine stumbling over my own words, thank you. Unless, of course, he was a particularly cute 2-year old kid. That might have gotten some points, I guess. Alas, I think my prom rejection was destined, 2-year old Joe Haden or no.
Andrew Hawkins kid has never been denied on a prom question.
