I came across this reading Bill Simmon’s mail bag today:
Q: After watching Game 2 of the World Series, I suggest that Scott Podsednik’s home run may be the single greatest black ink producing sports feat of anyone with the first name of Scott, at least in this country. Can you think of any competition? Unless not, I conclude that, for a fairly common name, we Scotts have collectively come up way short in helping sports bloggers do their jobs. For sheer pub value, we’re worse than Edgar Renteria’s 2005 season.
–Scott Silveira, Ann Arbor, Mich.SG: Oh, boy. Right now, everyone in Buffalo is banging their desks, whipping books across the room and kicking their dogs. May want to steer clear of upstate New York for awhile, Scott Silveira. That was downright cruel.
The thing is, Bill’s right.
I shouted aloud “ASSHOLE” when I read the question, not reading the response yet. And I was proud.
Oh to be a cursed sports fan.
