— Lolo Jones (@lolojones) January 11, 2016 I tried Lolo Jones’ raw clove-of-garlic cold remedy and it was horrible idea
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
We are totally cool with you, Lolo. Remember us? We were the ones trying to set things right over all that ludicrous, “You could last in the ring with Ronda Rousey” garbage back in August. That said: We need to have a chat.
Most of the morning we were trying to work out what the heck you did to yourself with this cold remedy. Did you drink a bottle of hot sauce? Perhaps you ate an entire ghost pepper. Scorpion venom? Home-grown mold? A mummy’s curse? Something warranted that reaction. Then we found out ...
Watching @lolojones eat a clove of garlic with JB playing in the background is the most hilarious thing ever.

A GARLIC CLOVE?!
We love you, Lolo, but this is not a reasonable reaction to a garlic clove. Garlic is delicious. You can put an entire head of garlic in the oven and make spreadable garlic in 15 minutes (Note: I have been banned from doing this by my wife). It’s delicious, it’s nutritious -- it’s not something to scream over.
JB on the other hand? Totally scream worthy.
UPDATE
So my SB Nation coworkers thought I was being way too harsh over this. That a raw clove of garlic is so much worse than a roasted or cooked piece. I thought they were wrong and wanted to prove it. They were very right.
