The Big Suey: Smiling At The Idiocy

Brett Favre announced yesterday that he has Parkinson's Disease at a congressional hearing regarding his fraudulent spending, and Dan is comparing the plea for empathy to Kevin Spacey's interview with Piers Morgan. Tony explains how he didn't know Rickey Henderson stole a lot of bases and his explanation actually sorta kinda makes sense. Then, we have a Behind the Bit about how the Phlegmbrandt came to be and Billy is not very happy that he was not selected to talk about it. John Fisher released a letter to Athletics fans as they are set to move out of Oakland and David Samson is here to discuss it. We also have a great rant from Larry Beil in response to the letter and Izzy and Stu have some great ideas for a Larry Beil podcast name. Then, Jeremy bores us all to death with baseball talk, David Samson loves that the Pirates cut Rowdy Tellez four plate appearances shy of a bonus, Colton Cowser had a pizzookie and David discusses the new Ellen comedy special.
