d. My goal in life is to be a clue in the New York Times crossword puzzle. I've never told anyone that, but it's true.

Luckily, it looks like he got plenty of shit in the inbox following that pathetic and self-centered statement. Take it away TMQB...

From Andrew McGann of Chicago: "Saw your stated desire to be the answer to a clue in the New York Times crossword puzzle someday. Me, too, but you've got a better shot! I'll send [puzzle master] Will Shortz a suggestion ASAP. I'll suggest this for a clue: 'Ubiquitous commentator with overt East Coast bias.' No, that's too easy!'' Nice. You're not the only one to suggest that sort of clue -- or to suggest that perhaps I write a little too much about teams in Eastern Time.

Or that you write too much about Favre's musk... Or about Jeter... Or about your colon.... Or about whatever God awful coffee you just drank... Or about how you screwed a poor 8-year old out of a foul ball at a spring training game. Or about your first class flights... Or about the fancy hotel you just stayed in... Or about which movie you just saw that everyone else already saw... Or about which artist you just "discovered" that everyone else already knew.... Or about how great your life is despite these tough economic times... Or about what you just ate... Or about any of that other shit that nobody gives a flying fuck about...
