The way I see it

- Bizarre comments about Robinson Cano that are patently wrong
- Bizarre comments about old time baseball
- Anything about the BIG RED MACHINE
- Comparing anyone who is actually good to Dave Concepcion, who sucked

and so on. You can also include awkward silence when Jon tries to figure out what in god’s name he’s talking about.

There are people in this world who can only afford a Hyundai.

So for them getting a brand new car for a couple grand is a pretty cool thing.

Oh sure

But then you can’t advertise that the Hyundai is the ultimate car, because on the macro level, anyone who buys a Hyundai is settling a little, just like I will be just a tad when I either get the Fiat 500 or Mini. I want an R8, but can’t.

Hyundai should have a “love the one you’re with” ad campaign, which would be both endearing and truthful. Nobody’s perfect car is a Sonata, so don’t bill it as such.

Due to no overwhelming reason

Manchester City, mainly because I’m a huge Joy Division Fan and that was Ian’s club. Fortunately I became a fan immediately before the Oil Barons took over, so at least I can support a functional club.

I have a friend here who’s a big Arsenal fan, he’s a good guy. And I finished up Fever Pitch recently, so I have some knowledge of the club.

Good stuff

Fever Pitch is the equivalent of Bill James over here.

I was absolutely gutted that Man City lost out to Tottenham for the last Champions League place; firstly because as an Arsenal fan I hate them akin to the MFY, and secondly because I had a bet with my friend that MC would finish 4th. Damn it.

Folks who can support the lower leagues fanatically

blow my mind. It’s one thing to go nuts over a big-4 club, but to go nuts over a tiny local club, that’s dedication.

Completely agree.

I mean, Arsenal was my ‘local’ club until the age of 15, so I haven’t really had the experience of supporting a tiny club like that. Guys in the stands at Stirling who have supported the same tiny club since the world was in black and white are fantastic.

Sorry I’ve got to go mate cos it’s 04.30am here, but nice talking to you. Next year for City! :)
