    Is Tyler Bray the first QB to train with 12oz as opposed to the NCAA regulation 14-15oz footballs?

    Not the first or the last.

    1. What's the first thing you do after the Cards sweep the Cubs in a series?

    Depends on what time of day it is.

    Usually I'm OK by the time the final game's over because the Cubs fall over and die like pansies when they're about to get swept and usually fall behind 4-0 or 5-0 by the 3rd/4th inning, so I have time to move on by the 9th inning.

    I don't get nearly as mad at the Cubs this season, though. I knew they were gonna be turrible. I'm thinking long-term, finally. The new leadership allows me to think good thoughts about the future and not have to lie to myself to do it.

    2. How much money do you think Dooley spends on hair products a week?

    Not sure exactly, but he spends a lot more money and time on his hair than he claims he does. That's for darn sure.

    March Madness or Champions League

    March Madness. Barely.

    March Madness, the World Series and the Champions League are probably my favorite things in sports.

    I really don't care about the NFL all that much, and the Super Bowl isn't a big deal to me. It's usually a fun party with food and beer, though.

    3. Eric Berry or Peyton Manning... Which one rebounds off of their injury to have a bigger season this year?

    Sheesh. Tough one.

    I'll go with Peyton. When in doubt, it's usually safe to take Peyton.

    4. Have you ever tried to take a leak on an electric fence to see if it would shock you?

    No, but I did put on a collar and walk through an electric dog fence. It stung.

    5. Which linebacker will have the most tackles this year?

    Lathers will edge A.J. Johnson, IMO, assuming both stay healthy.

    Who do you think is the fastest player on the football team is now?

    Rajion Neal or Justin Hunter.

    I think Neal would run a faster 40 by a nose and Hunter's long strides would give him the edge in the 100. But both can fly.

    Who has a better season between Mississippi St. and Auburn this year?

    I'd have to look at both schedules. Wanna post 'em both on here and help a brother out?

    Do you keep the redhead from buying junk at the grocery store, or is it the other way around??

    Pretty sure we both get whatever we want and throw it in the buggy — but I gag when she buys soy milk.

    SOYS DON'T HAVE NIPPLES!!!
