Oh, Man. The Pepsi Center Really Wanted to See John Cena Take on The Big Show

Here are tonight's top headlines from espn.com. Take a look at highlighted number 7:
"Pepsi Center Stunned as WWE Raw Goes to L.A." As Brother of the Blog Amir asks, who writes like that?

In truth, I would sort of love for the rest of the sports news to be written anthropopathically:
  • Quickens Loan Arena Distraught over Cavaliers 1 Point Loss; Blames Itself
  • Yankee Stadium Insulted by "Easy to Hit Homeruns" Talk
  • Jailhouse Feels Less "Rapey" Without Michael Vick
But why stop with sports news?
  • Guantanamo Bay Fearful of Terrorists; Wants America to Imprison Them
  • Craigslist Strangely Aroused by Prostitution Ring
  • Waterboard Tortured by Weight of Detainees
Nice. Internet Amused by Mocking of ESPN's Headline
