I’m not really much of a talker (as you may have noticed in the podcast)… especially when it comes to talking about myself. It’s just not something I enjoy. But the fine people at The Blog Reader wanted, for some reason, to profile me and my little web venture here. So I did an interview with them, and… well, here it is.
I do appreciate it, and I think the writer/interviewer P.G. Sittenfeld did quite a commendable job (although he does kinda make me seem like some sort of a Salinger-esque recluse). But again, I’m just not that comfortable talking about myself, partly because I can’t imagine why anyone would want to readabout me. I hope I don’t come off sounding like a sanctimonious prick. If I do, feel free to hate me.
Many many thanks to The Blog Reader, and to P.G. Great job.

Way to publicize yourself, you attention-starving whore.

“Mostly I just kept at it…”
I think that quote probably struck a nerve with Danks. He has trouble with the whole keeping-at-a-blog thing. Vacation anyone?

Just kidding. Great interview dude. Can I send my wife your way to learn about how to deal with sports as part of a healthy lifestyle?

I don’t know about Salinger, but this is obviously Couric-esque:
“I liked the Chargers uniforms better so I’ve rooted for them ever since”
I weep for you buddy. I do.

I never realized how childish and juvenile this site was, til Bloggy McBlogger there wrote up these humorless capsule summaries for a few of them. I am ashamed to like it so much.
And yeah, that wasn’t so much a bio as a two page plug for your site. Though I confess, I had no idea you were a 29 year old black guy from the hinterlands of Virginia.

i don’t know what you’re worried about, the interview seemed fine — just normal. which is good.
did you win anything for the half-court shot?

JD Salinger is rolling over in his cave. He would never do a blog interview. Seriously, you deserve the pub. Just don’t start trying to sell me shoes. Stick to being the wonderful finger-in-the-eye of the sports world that you are.

The man, the myth, the legend. Do you really have conversations with women on how to date men who like sports? That doesn’t sound like a fun way to spend your time.

How did I miss the first “You suck”?? My apologies Dookie…
As far as I can see while perusing that site, you’re the only person to get a second page. How does that make you feel?
And how does it make you feel to not be this woman?
“Mommybloggers”?? Why does everything have to have a title? As if the name “bloggers” isn’t bad enough…

lopey thought you were 18? I figured well over 29…you’re pretty good with your sports history. You must have been glued to the TV as a kid! Oh yah, IMHO, there’s NOTHING wrong with getting some free publicity.
