WORD OF THE WEEK: BLOVIATE

blo-vi-ate
[BLOH-vee-ayt], intransitive verb:
To speak or write at length in a pompous or boastful manner.

It wouldn't be spring without the bloviating John Sterling, who stated during the Yankees opening day broadcast today that Robinson Cano was "the BEST #8 HITTER IN BASEBALL HISTORY".

(Strangely, I didn't miss baseball as much as I missed the awkward dynamic of the Sterling/Waldman Lowe's broadcast booth.)
