That's how fucking stupid Spiegel is. bernstein is smart enough to know that he can't use his regular race-baiting shock radio persona when he is in the grown-up world of something like WTTW.


I don't think he meant this one how it sounded. I think he was saying hockey players look like average Joes and it makes them more approachable. There are a ton of guys out there that are 6"1 200 lbs in good shape. I was suprised how similiar in my husband and Patrick Sharp are in height and build. You can spot a basketball player by height and you can spot football players by height/size/build. I don't know why he used white to make his case though. I think baseball players are fairly unspectacular but he wouldn't because he thinks baseball is really popular.

It was kinda dumb for him not to realize where he was or what he was saying though.

I think he is clueless about hockey and said the first thing that came to his remedial senses.

Yeah, I would have said it about baseball players. There's a guy named Franklin kicking the shit out of the Sox right now who looks like he's the waterboy for a junior high football team.

Unless it were a very popular player I doubt anyone would recognize any baseball players regardless of size or ethnicity. The only thing that could give them away are those stupid phiten double braided necklace.

But he doesn't see it that way because baseball is important to him.

And I agree with Seacrest, I don't get the impression he is really bright.

That's about the nicest thing you could say about a husband. I may just nominate you for third place behind Darkside/wife and doug/fiancee on the "Relationships that Embiggen Humanity" category of the board. The current rankings are as follows:

1. Darkside/wife
2. doug/fiancee
3. Keeping Score/dealer/aging wisconsin libertine

The easy answer for Spiegal would have been that they blend in because no on watches the sport so no one knows who these guys are.

Dustin Pedroia is a midget, as Stoneroses has reminded us many times.
