interviews

Sometimes enough is enough. The amount of cringe that ensues when they actually up and leave is pure, awkward gold. 

Here are the highlights... if you could call them that.

In a bizarre incident on ESPN, former NFL linebacker Shawne Merriman walked away in the middle of an interview with Bomani Jones and Dan LeBatard on the show Highly Questionable. The show was taped a month ago and on LeBatard's Nov. 21 radio show the two TV hosts discussed the incident in detail. They also revealed that an earlier part of the discussion had focused on Merriman's relationship with ex-girlfriend Tila Tequila.

Merriman remained cordial throughout the interview, even while leaving, which made the whole thing all-the-more strange. When Merriman decided to leave the hosts were asking him pretty standard stuff so who really knows why he got up and left.

When asked what he was working on, Riff answered "Gotta keep my hands from floatin' up to the top, cuz ice rises." If anyone knows what the hell that means, feel free to educate us.
