Hottest Geek Guys of Winter 2014
#3
The winter blues are sticking around longer than usual, so here are "Geek To Me's" Hottest Geek Guys of 2014 to break the hold of the polar vortex! Among this year's hottest geek guys we have the voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi; a rock star; two radio personalities; a geek from MTV; the official "geekologist" from a major LGBT site; and an NFL player who has started his own comic book company. (Elliott Serrano, for Redeye)
Connor McKnight is a host, anchor and reporter for 670 The Score AM. He also co-hosts the Score's venerable (not vulnerable) Sunday morning baseball show, Hit and Run. Connor's been geeking out about baseball since he was little but also found time to build an X-Wing, TIE Fighter and Millennium Falcon out of LEGOs. You know, before they started making all those custom pieces.
In his opinion, sports and general nerdery work together like Iron Fist and Luke Cage. Sure, some of the hardcores in sport will tell you their sacred realm has no room for the geek. Listen to a few of them break down the 6th and 7th round of the NFL draft as though their very lives depended on it, however, and pretty soon it's indistinguishable from a conversation dissecting the finer points of David Lynch's 1984 epic and criminally under-appreciated adaptation of Dune (Long live the fighters!)
Before lucking out with The Score, Connor worked as a college football reporter (his Hunter S. Thompson phase), a high school English teacher (think Dead Poets Society), a bouncer (Swayze in Roadhouse) and a peon in minor league baseball (Jonah Hill in Moneyball).
He also suffers delusions of grandeur.
As soon as baseball season starts you can hear him on The Score, Sundays from 9am-1pm.
