If You Find Yourself in That Nostalgic Rage

Jonathan referred to it in a comment on the post from earlier today, but I would be doing myself and the rest of this band a disservice if I didn't promote the heck out of The Sports Guy's record-breaking 7 hour, 4 minute chat today on ESPN.com.
For those of you who are loyal and ardent Sports Guy followers, you've probably already read the chat transcript, but for those of you who have not delved into the madness, I'm warning you.

This is like picking up War and Peace and thinking that Leo penned a tome that could be vanquished in less time than it took Howard Dean's presidential campaign to fall apart after the "Yeahhhhhh" speech in 2004.



Reading the entire transcript is going to require whatever fortitude, gumption, moxie, and mojo that you possess, but know this: You will be a better person at the end of the madness.

Just as my father constantly reminds me of the musical supremacy of the 10-year stretch from 1965-1975, my children will one day grow tired of my stories chronicling the moment when The Sports Guy vanquished the record of Rob Neyer.

I think the most impressive fact about Simmons' accomplishment hasn't even been discussed anywhere until this moment. More words were exchanged during the Simmons marathon chat than eight politicians and television news anchor could manage during the Republican debate by CNN and YouTube. Nevermind that Simmons' chat ran 5 hours longer than the Republican debate. This was one man's quest at immortality, and he and his questioners managed to exchange more than 24,000 words, while eight Republicans, Anderson Cooper and the YouTube questioners couldn't top 22,000.

Score one for the Sports Guy.
