I love lots of sportswriters, though. I love 'em like fans love athletes. They're my heroes. I love reading lots of people.
My two favorites in Tennessee have always been Gary Lundy (my hero as kid, and I still miss him)

You can't be too bad after all if you liked Gary Lundy. He was a great friend and a wonderful journalist. Top notch human being. Can't believe he's no longer with us.

What are the chances we could suit up Montravius Adams and sneak him in the rotation this weekend?

Better chance of the 2012 Cubs sneaking into the World Series, IMO.

What ever happened to Charlie the delivery guy for Gus?

Good question. Not sure.

Tennessee sports overall is 2-6 when I am in attendance, covering three sports. Should I stop attending? Am I the problem?
Defense Saturday appeared to be okay covering unless asked to adjust to motion. Do we stand a chance against a team like Mizzou that will throw it eleventy billion times? Would you expect future opponents to try and motion across the formation I ruin Tennessee's world?
Ever play Football Manager?
What should I do tomorrow? Work is the wrong answer.
Favorite Pringles?

1) You're not the problem.
2) How will Mizzou stop UT, though? That's the other part of it. I think UT can/should win that game at home. I would run formation, misdirection and perimeter stuff on UT all day.
3)I have not.
4) Sleep. I would sleep if I could. I'm so tired. Have been all week. Still have to do the matchups box tonight and think I'd rather stick a rusty spork in my eye.
5) I actually like the Lay's version of Pringles better. JMO. But I like Pringles just fine. Sour Cream and Onion, probably. Stays on your breath for 37 years, but whatever, I can brush my teeth and chew gum.

How long is this rain delay going to last?
Who is winning the world series this year?

People keep laughing at me, but I keep saying I like the Giants. They pitch, they hit when they need to hit, they get outs late in games and they just know how to win. But the Cardinals never die, either, so I think whoever wins the NLCS can take the title.
Facing Verlander 2-3 times in a series sucks, but the Giants and Cards have pitching, too.
The Giants are the team that just finds a way to win and leaves you wondering, "How did THAT team just beat me in a 7-game series?" That's just who they are.

Where is shoeless? I went to Afghanistan for five weeks and he disappeared... Have you seen him lately, or do we need to put out an APB?

That's a great question. Where the heck is shoeless? Did I miss something, too? I work a lot and forget things, so this could have been explained to me and I forgot.

I work a lot and love my girlfriend, so that keeps me occupied, but I assume other people drink and/or do drugs.
