Around SBN: Super Bowl XLVI: Eli Manning And The Meaning Of 'Elite'

OT: Coffeeshop Ballers w/poll

I just needed to get this out there, and I figure this is the best place:

I am sitting at Coffeetime on NW 21st at one in the morning, and there are two full tables of dudes spanning the age spectrum loudly and heartily debating the NBA finals. Thus far, no less than two people have prominently declared their love for K*be and the L*kers, and are STILL IN THE BUILDING. I figured they'd get booted. I know that's what I'd do if I were in charge.

I am into this because it doesn't happen to be typical coffeeshop banter, especially at such a volume. If I knew the first thing about basketball, I might try to get into the row, but as it is, I'll just be the eavedropping bystander, the one who looks least like a sports fan.

Okay, the conversation has finally turned to KP and how 'there's no way KP's gonna draft another no-defense... (inaudible).' Good to know we got some homers in the house.

It occurs to me that some of you might comprise this group of total dudes. Do it up:

In my mind's eye

I’m the guy grabbing the fire extinguisher off the wall and hosing the Laker fans.

Is that photo really you?

You look like Michael McDonald before Satan took away his hair color.

OH MAN

I have never made this connection, but this particular image is SUPER EERILY SIMILAR to my visage, especially the PLACEMENT OF HIS MOLE.

You think that maybe it’s over; only if you want it to be!

Except you are wearing lipstick.

Dude, what’s with that? Were you eating wild berries out there in the forest?

I'd kill for your beard.

It’s so thick and full, it actually looks fake! Must be the berries…

Doesn't it itch?

I don’t think I’ve ever grown facial hair over .5 inches. It gets too itchy.

It does

To high heaven, to a certain point. Then it just gets in the way of everything you eat.

(PS it’s gone now, but will be back in, say, 3 hours)

Agree with you here

So I was right?

Were two Bedgers really there that night? Awesome.

More people want to draft Bowie than I expected, which is just great.
