The only thing funnier than the Sports Guy may be the Sports Guy's readers, who have chipped in with a load of amusing questions in his latest mailbag. I love the way they draw connections between different aspects of popular culture with such accuracy. To wit, these two entries about Isiah Thomas:
As a Knicks fan, I'm dying here. The best parallel I can make with Isiah Thomas' tenure as GM is with Michael Jackson's nose. The more they try to correct the previous mistake, the worse it keeps getting.

With the Francis trade, has Isiah stolen the "laughably oblivious to how humorous the rest of the country finds him" mantle from Kevin Federline? Despite Isiah's on-court success, both guys owe their current stature soley to the benevolence of a misguided benefactor, yet both seem to honestly believe they actually bring something to the table. I wonder if they get together with James Woods' character from "Casino" every now and then for cocktails.
-- Mike, Chicago
Hilarious, especially the Federline reference. That video of him listening to "popo zau" and dancing with his hands absolutely shatters the unintentional comedy scale. Here's a link to the video. Don't drink anything during it.
Ed - You're so right about the Federline video. I watched that once a day for two weeks and it never got old.
Does anyone know what Simmons' e-mail address is? I've looked in his Page 2 section but I can't find it.
