The Morning Tailgate

Today, we present this morning’s ceremonial tailgate bratwurst to three men; AJ Daulerio (Deadspin.com), Jamie Mottram (MisterIrrelevant.com) and Dan Steinberg (DC Sports Bog).  Take a piece and share, boys.

You see, the aforementioned gentlemen were kind enough to join us for the first official episode of The JoeSportsFan Show on Tuesday night.  You can download this fine weekly program by subscribing to the iTunes podcast.  By subscribing, the latest episodes (posted weekly on Thursday nights) will automatically be downloaded to your iPod, iPhone, or iSomething.

Daulerio, Mottram, and Steinberg were nice enough to join the inaugural episode for a little something we call “Wiffle Ball” - a critically-acclaimed “round table” segment which touches on topics from the “obscure” to the “more obscure”.

As you’ll find out from listening, Mr. Steinberg actually prefers veggie sausage, but we don’t have any of those at this tailgate.  Sorry, Dan.

February 13

1947 - Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski is born.  JSF would never be the same.

1974 - James “Cool Papa” Bell is elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame.  The legend is that Cool Papa could flip the switch in his bedroom and be under the covers before the light went off.  Had he known that he could have just bought a clapper, he probably could have saved the energy.

1990 - Larry Bird’s streak of perfection from the free-throw line ends at 71 games.  Thankfully, his streak of unruly mustache lasted much longer.

You Should (DANCE), Because (KURT WARNER) Said So…

Kurt Warner’s career, life, retirement status, relationship to God, and whatever have been discussed ad nauseum over the last few weeks - especially here in our resident St. Louis.

The video above featuring Kurt Warner on the Ellen Degeneres Show is pretty darn good. Warner dances - as every other white person does while on the “Ellen” set, and tells a few good stories about life away from the football field - including one interesting story about dinner before the Super Bowl.

It’s Friday the 13th, people. That means we all need be accepting of hockey mask-wearing serial killers everywhere.

Top 7: People who wear No. 13. Yea that’s right.

Shameless Promotion - Probably something else later in the day urging you to subscribe to our podcast feed through iTunes.  All of the cool kids are doing it.
