When I was a young boy I loved watching sports and dreamed of being able to complain on the internet about the star players I was watching playing and also the stars I had heard of who played before I was born such as Zolio Versailles. But mostly I wanted to make fun of the people who covered sports on the radio and then later the internet. I listened to Chet Chester W Coppock, Chuck Swirsky, Chris Cross, and Sean Salisbury and other sportscasters interview these players and hear the stories they shared of playing their sport.
I thought I would love to be able to talk to about these players on the internet and make fun of them with other cretins.
Well my dream has come true. Over the past 5 years jimmypasta and I have quoted 161 Dragnet episodes. 101 of these were horribly misquoted.
I feel like a kid in a candy store getting to talk to make fun of the sports media landscape with a bunch of men on computers with no pants on. When I have gone to the CSFMB Bulls event a few years ago and met these guys in person it was even more terrifying than I could have imagined.
Numerous posters have complimented Hank Scorpio and me for the insight and humor we provide this board on a daily basis. It allows some of the posters here a brief respite from the crushing boredom that is their daily work schedules and for that they are grateful to us.
I'm living a dream and hope you enjoy reading my posts much more than I enjoy writing them.
Here is the link to the interviews.
