8:59 p.m. Dan Patrick takes the mic to reaffirm his pre-season prediction that the Patriots will win the Super Bowl, and furthermore that the Red Sox will win the World Series. He introduces McDowell as someone who "flipped off the Yankee fans, as a Yankee." Patrick then segues into a strange anecdote: "Then Biggie Smalls includes Black Jack in a music video as if he wants to put a cap in Black Jack's ass," Patrick says. "And look who's still alive!" Puzzled laughter in the crowd.

Scott Radinsky interview up at BP:
I saw the Minutemen. They were entertaining, but I don’t think I ever got it when I was younger. I was looking for fast, rebellious music, and they were a little different. I mean, I’ve always liked the Minutemen--I love the Minutemen now--but I think I can appreciate them a lot more now than I did back then. We were actually on tour in '85 when D. Boone died--we were in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and we tried playing a Minutemen song. We played “Party with Me Punker, In a Winnebago,” but it didn’t go over very well.

TS: Ten Foot "Dick" Pole vs. the Minutemen.
Hmm. Tough one.

Scared Straight >>> 10ft. Pole

Justin (DC): "Wincing the Night Away" was a great album, but it's not as majestic as Wilco's "Sky Blue Sky".
Rob Neyer: (12:45 PM ET ) Wilco's my all-time favorite band and I love SBS, but not quite *that* much.

I knew it.

The ESPN music chat questions are inevitably embarrassing. Keith Law's liked some decent books though.

Neyer's taste is pretty innocuous compared to the dreck Gammons likes, and one can only imagine what John Kruk listens to.
