Mitch Albom's Giant Ears

As I type this, I'm watching The Sports Reporters on ESPN.

I think Mitch Albom is a fine sports writer, okay novelist and pretty good interviewer.

But those massive friggin' Ferengi ears are freaking me out. Can you get Lobe Reduction surgery?

(Yeah, I know. I'm no GQ cover boy, either. It just weirds me out. Kinda like Giada De Laurentiis's oversized head.)

Sorry. I've held that in for too many years. Please continue with what you were doing.

I think they are artificial, covering some kind of congenital defect, maybe?

Mitch's Left Ear said...

I just googled "Mitch Albom ears" and found your post...because yea...his ears are fuckin HUGE. I'm his left ear. He tries to cover us up with his hair...As he ages they will only get bigger...Luckily, for Mitch's sake ear size is a predictor for genital size.

I too was so outraged by his ears that I was compelled to google them. They look like some kind of grotesque frittatta.

The ears are insane. We need some real data as to what the hell is going on. That toupee is clearly designed to cover up those monsters.

Add me to the list of people that Googled his ears. Wow.

I, too, googled his ears. I think Mitch has fine points and I enjoy listening to him on the Sports Reporters, but they are so friggin distracting. Sports Reporters might be better as a radio show.

Add me to the esteemed list of those who have Googled Mitch Albom's ears. It's comforting to know I'm not alone.

I watched him on the Colbert Report last night and I could not believe those ears. I too, googled Mitch Albom Ears. I asked my husband about them but he knew nothing, had never noticed them, which is weird because he's met him a couple of times. It bodes well for me though, because if he didn't notice those ears maybe he won't notice me aging.

I too goggled his ears after seeing him on the Colbert Report.

I have never seen cauliflower ear before, but could that be what he has.

He is a great writer!

Do his ears get this smae attention every Sunday? Thats the only time you see them. Have you also noticed his left eyebrow and the forehead wrinkles on just that side?

I had to quit watching the show because of those beastly ears. I have never seen such a savage external organ. I need to talk more about this so I can learn to live on.

I Googled 'Mitch ears' and found this site. After hauling those monsters around all his life, I'm surprised Mr. Albom is well adjusted enough to have a high profile job and isn't working at some obscure company hiding in the IT department.

Oh, the humanity! Mitch Albom is more alarming than the Yak Woman at the circus.

I just finished arguing with my husband over the fact that those ears look fake. My husband told me I was crazy & if I was so concerned that I should call him and ask. So, I picked up the laptop to google those ears & was pleasantly surprised to find that I was not the only one crazed by this....

I have been getting nauseated every sunday morning over his ears for the last three years. My boyfriend wishes to give him a buzz cut while I snap a quick photo so we can see what those massive beasts look like in the flesh. Glad I am not alone....his ears freak me out!!

you guys are all just jealous because he can save so much money on airfare. Of course, he needs a helipad at his house to land, but it pays for itself in gas savings!!!

I had to know was I the only one in the world pre occupied with the meat frisbees attached to Mitch's head where his ears should be. . . . Now I know

They certainly are freaky, but if they are, as some have suggested, artificial, WHO WOULD WANT TO GET ARTIFICIAL EARS THAT LOOK LIKE THAT???
