ESPN changed a link on their front page from:

Yanks' Wang out at least 6 weeks with injured foot

to:

Foot injury to cost Yanks' Wang at least 6 weeks (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3446851)

Why would they do such a thing?

Contest: And by changing two words or less, please turn the original headline into something Hell Atlantic would be proud of.

I'm not sure if you're serious with your question. But if you are, read the sentence with the word "Yanks" as a verb instead of a noun.

All of a sudden the link is about a guy that used his injured foot to yank his wang out for 6 weeks.

"Injury Forces Yanks To Be Without Their Wang For At Least 6 Weeks"

a long time to be out of commission.

The real headline at ESPN is better now:

Yankees' Wang shelved until at least Sept.

That's gotta hurt.

More then you know. It was probably the wife's fault.

Clearly, the push to pronounce it "Wong" is not having the desired effect amongst the peanut gallery.

You're not fooling anybody, Chien-Ming!
