I’m Pat Suley, one of the occasional contributors (and Canadian correspondent) here at Midwest Sports Fans. And for the month of November I’ve been participating in “Movember” where people grow mustaches to raise money for prostate cancer.
Aaron Rodgers: Still ‘Stachetastic
August 30, 2011 By 4 Comments
Some posts go up on MSF for the education, edification, or entertainment of our reader base at large. Other posts go up simply to entertain Amanda Lawson.
This post is an example of the latter.
Behold, the super new ‘stache of Super Bowl winning signal-caller Aaron Rodgers.
MSF Podcast with SI’s Jimmy Traina: Meeting Derek Jeter, Chiding Chip Caray, and the Greatest SI Swimsuit Model Ever
October 28, 2009 By 3 Comments
Earlier this afternoon Myles and I had the great pleasure to host SI.com’s Jimmy Traina on the latest edition of the MSF Podcast.
We are grateful that he was able to take 30+ minutes out of his afternoon to talk with us, and impressed that he was able to be so composed…what with his beloved Yankees (especially Derek and Minka) preparing for Game 1 of the 2009 World Series tonight.
But I guess when you’ve already won 27 of them and can buy your way into the playoffs every year, it’s easy to stay even keel. (Actually, more on this topic later.)
If you are not familiar with his work, Jimmy Traina runs the Hot Clicks blog on SI.com and is an editor of the always entertaining Extra Mustard section of the site, which fuses sports, pop culture, and humor. Hot Clicks is one of the most visited sports pages on a daily basis, as any publisher knows who has ever received a link from Traina.
Let’s just say it can put a strain on your server.
LOTD: With Adam Morrison Now a Laker, Who Has the Best Mustache in L.A.?
February 10, 2009 By Leave a Comment
I am a sucker for a good mustache post.
Former college basketball superstar and current NBA bust Adam Morrison was recently traded from the Charlotte Bobcats to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Splog over at NationalLampoon.com, and more specifically writer “douchelarue”, is wondering where Adam Morrison will go in the esteemed mustache hierarchy of L.A.
(And for the record, there were so many great mustachioed pictures to choose from for this post, but Jason Lee looks like the spitting image of our very own KVB, so I chose that one.)
Here is a quick excerpt of a couple of the funnier mustache descriptions from douchelarue. Then your LOTD link so you can enjoy the post for yourself:
- Magnum P.I. – A mustache so damn awesome that he doesn’t even need a cord for that phone
- Burt Reynolds – A stache so cool, it has no problem outrunning Smokey and may keep you from being brutally sodomized by hillbillies
- Jason Lee – Earl Hickey – His name is Earl. His mustache is named Suspected Pedophile.
