Fellow SMU alum, and I couldn't agree more. Dickerson is the much cooler half of the Pony Express.

What is your first sports memory?

First sports memory DUAN...

Hey, is it a sign of horrible times that the best option we had for the franchise tag is a fucking kicker?

Patrick Kimberlin's interests include, among other things, Taylor Swift, White History Month, and Deadspin. Interesting dude.

What time zone are you? I'm in Singapore, so 13 hours ahead of the east coast which makes it tough, but always up for a game on Xbox.

It was an excess of hubris, not a lack of it.

That's just the point though - there isn't anybody in America who is aware of Lebron who isn't also aware of The Decision. He made sure it would be that way because he's an egotistical jackass with zero self-awareness, and that's why he's so easy to hate.

WHY MUST YOU ANTAGONIZE PATRICK KIMBERLIN?!?!

As a lifelong Bucs fan (and as Facepalm Bucco Bruce will attest), I can sympathize. Sure, we won the Super Bowl a decade ago, but the team's performance for many years on either side of that makes it basically an anomaly. The temperamental thundercunts that are the Glazers could up and move the team to London or…

...and Steven Stamkos breathes a sigh of relief.

Fuck it, I'm going to answer now AND next week, because I know my answers. I'll put Bob Schneider at the Bowery Ballroom at the top, with Explosions in the Sky at Metro Theatre in Sydney as a close second.

Good point. I wonder how Bill's buddy Tim Thomas feels about him hanging out with Obama.

Yeah, it's really annoying. I actually like when sportscasters have their own loyalties - it legitimises them a bit in my opinion. But with Simmons, he's so fucking over the top. It's like, "we get it, dude, you're THE BIGGEST SOXPATSBRUINSCELTS FAN EVER". So combine the Boston fanboyism with his generally sketchball…

I thought the same thing. That can't be an accident - it looks exactly like her.

I watched a little bit of the Simmons-Obama interview, and I think it was the first time I've actually seen Simmons doing an on camera interview.

How far back are you looking? Because I'll bet that being a Pharaoh was fucking sweet.

Yeah they definitely do. The Pacific Northwest seems to give a massive shit about soccer, and that's really cool.

If you want to include MLS, I think Seattle Sounders have the best fans there, and I say this as an ardent Red Bulls supporter.

Jesus I don't miss that (even though I'm now in Singapore where it's 85 and humid ALL YEAR). How was the "winter" in Tampa this year? Did it drop below 60 ever?
