Poison Ink
LAST WEEK FORMER Penn State receiver Allen Robinson (now with the Jags) debuted a tat showing a key catch he made in a 43--40 four-OT win over Michigan in 2013. As much as it celebrated Robinson's heroics, the image singled out the DB he beat, the Wolverines' Channing Stribling, introducing the sports troll tattoo. Here are a few others that could follow.
1. Tattooee: Nick Faldo
Tattoo: Scott Hoch missing a two-footer that would have won the 1989 Masters.
2. Tattooee: Bill Parcells
Tattoo: Scott Norwood going wide right in Super Bowl XXV.
3. Tattooee: Mookie Wilson
Tattoo: Bill Buckner booting a grounder in Game 6 of the '86 Series.
4. Tattooee: George Lynch
Tattoo: Chris Webber calling a TO he didn't have to end the '93 NCAA title game.
THEY SAID IT
