PARENTHETICAL OF THE YEAR NOMINEE:  Congratulations, NJ.com, for your article today relating NY Football Giants defensive back Antrell Rolle's comments on how devout teammate Prince Amukamara's off-season marriage, ending his life of celibacy-by-choice, changed him on the field:
"There are a lot of things different about Prince. For one, he's married, so he's (enjoying some things that he wasn't experiencing before he's married). For a man, that could definitely help him out. For a man ... I'm just being honest ... it's helping him out. He walks around with a little more swagger, which is something that we need, which is something that we love," Rolle said.

    Nominee? Let's just go ahead and present the award now. I can't think of anything that could top that.

    Deadspin reached out to find out what the actual phrase was: http://deadspin.com/antrel-rolle-prince-amukamara-is-good-because-hes-fina-1641591046

    (The answer: "he's getting some cutty now.")

    I had no idea
    1. "Cutty" could mean that
    2. The character's name was Cutty and not Cuddy
    3. OMG WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT HIM

    IIRC, in HBO's Rome it was "cunny".

    yes, filing a joint tax return will put a little pep in your step.

    Also, note that by beginning with an "-ing," the parenthetical does follow proper standards and form for The Bluebook.
