@Kid Canada: Especially since the guest editor didn't write the post, eh?

@Eamus Catuli: The only acceptable Cub-related name for a pet I can think of is if someone named a three-legged dog "Mordecai".

Last year's kid was Race Istedband Yeare.

I believe I did bat in a double

@UpstateUnderdog: I find the pastrami to be the most sensual of the salted, cured meats.

@Karlifornia: Their current coach thought it was a great idea to have Pat White, a fantastic running QB with a questionable arm, pass more and run less. Burning of the program is coming.

I'm surprised they're mad, considering the previous pregame songs' lyrics were just a couple of church hymns with "T. Boone Pickens" inserted in the lyrics wherever "Jesus" would normally be.

Maybe I'm a sap but Thome deserves a ring before his career is over. Wasn't going to happen with the Sox this year, but he's got a real shot with the Dodgers.

@Drunken Midgets: I'll be at Purdue-NIU, as my dad, his two brothers, and both of my aunts on that side all went to NIU, and my cousins were varsity athletes at Purdue.

Well done.

@HernandezStache: Hey now, don't short us those other two losses, we were 3-9.

I hope to bring back stories from Iowa/Michigan in October. Primetime games are prime territory for this stuff.Unfortunately, Michigan fans are supposedly too busy drinking wine and eating cheese to engage in such riffraffery. So hopefully the Iowa fans step up to the bathroom stall, er, plate again.

Kinda like it was a poor decision to let Rosenberg write an article on a subject that he's spent the last year and a half attacking in his columns, maybe it wasn't the best idea to have Dash write this when you have people who, you know, don't hate Michigan on the Deadspin staff? Any accusations of bias hitting…

@Gourmet Spud: Bravo. We also would have accepted Nat X, the host of the only 15 minute show on TV, but your answer has more perspective.

Since I have no clue who this is, I'm assuming that given the pictures and the name "Blazer Girl" that you've just sent the country's most prolific weed smoker to ESPN Happy Fun Day.

@Christian_Okoye_Dokoye: I imagine OSU fans needed an anti-emetic after those two national championship "games".

@Grib: And right back at you — Rudy Malnati, who actually invented Chicago-style deep dish, wasn't from Texas.

Soggy bottom crust? Check.

Your move, Los Angeles.

@Dashiell Bennett: They make a pill for that — it's called Consistenyl(tm). That damned Fremulon Insurance Company won't cover it though.
