Sports Guy at it again

[Rob Graff]

Take this Mailbag letter/answer:

Q: Yo, Sports Guy, me and my friends tried to do a drinking game where we did a shot every time we saw the Melencamp commercial. Two of us died from alcohol poisoning, one choked on his own vomit and my liver exploded by halftime of the 4 p.m. game. This really is our country.
--Ken, Buffalo, N.Y.



SG: From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is ouuuuuuuur country

I'm glad I'm not the only one that hates how much that commercial is played.

I love his response to this question...

Q: Don't know if you saw John Goodman on "Studio 60" this week, but my God the man must be pushing 500 pounds. Apparently Dunkin' Donuts has been paying him for his voice-over work in bear claws. Seriously, if you are preparing for a 2007 Dead Pool, Goodman is a first rounder in all formats.
--Mike P, Taunton, Mass.



SG: Excellent call. I kept expecting them to come back from a commercial with Goodman wearing those black wrestling trunks that Andre the Giant used to wear, the ones with the one strap going over the right shoulder.
