Mike Napoli’s solo home run off Justin Verlander was all the Red Sox needed to beat the Tigers in Game 3 of the ALCS. Naturally, Napoli was the subject of Erin Andrews’ postgame interview on Fox. Andrews started with a question that referenced Napoli’s last home run against Detroit Tigers starter, but when naming Justin Verlander, Andrews briefly stumbled over the last name. This led some to believe she had a certain Canadian pop singer on her mind.
EA saw the whispers about her Bieber infatuation on Twitter and quickly dismissed them.
1. The five additional o’s in “so” were more than enough to convey sarcasm, thus making the hashtag redundant. Still, this further proves society’s need for a sarcasm font.
2. It’s indisputable that Andrews wasn’t going with “Verlander” in her initial pronunciation, unless she was using some sort of medieval Gaelic pronunciation of the name.
3. Let’s quickly run through the most famous Justins in history, minus the aforementioned Bieber and Verlander: Timberlake, Tuck, Morneau, Rose, Theroux, Gatlin, Long, Vernon, Guarini, Lin, Pitt and the Roman Emperors Justin I and Justin II. There’s not a whole lot to choose from. Considering that, is thinking about Bieber really so bad?
4. All that being said: Erin, it’s no shame to have the Biebs on the mind, even if subconsciously. I’ve never heard a Bieber song in my life, but that didn’t stop me from having a very weird dream last week in which I was having coffee with him and my third-grade teacher instead of attending the college exam for a class I hadn’t attended all semester. You’ve been jet-setting all over creation over the past few weeks. If that somehow leads to the dulcet melodies of Baby getting stuck in your head, just go with it.
