Jay Mohr on Neil Diamond

Jay Mohr - you might better know him as Bob Sugar, Jerry Maguire’s nemesis and one-time protege - goes on a diatribe about the winter olympics. While I don’t think he’s particularly funny and usually find his SI.com articles to be pretty worthless, this one, which could have been much better if he had spent more than an hour writing it, is worth reading if only for the conclusion…

“…if you are a man, and you are wearing sequins, I just cannot take you seriously. Unless of course you are Neil Diamond. If you put Neil Diamond in skates and team him up with a cute girl and he sings Coming To America as he competes, you just won yourself a viewer.”

Check that. You won yourself two.
