Only because it’s televised all the time, I’d say Boston-Yankees. I grew up in Massachusetts watching it, so I don’t really know our rivalry (Giants-Dodgers) that well except playing in it. I don’t even think it’s a rivalry anymore. I think it’s just grown into one.
...what?
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

But… uh… wait, so there’s no… but it’s grown into… I… what in the…?
Brian Wilson just singlehandedly brought down a Borg Cube.

East-coast bias.
..so allow me to present Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain as two sweet, sweet bottles of warming hooch.

Fuck. Wrong reply button.

TB: Then maybe what’s one thing people need to talk more about?BW: In baseball, one thing people need to start talking about more in baseball… need to start talking more about Christ.
...

I agree. That Christ guy can seriously hit, and he gets basically no coverage in either local or national media.

He’s a weird, intense guy, okay? Deal with it.
I can’t hate on anyone who describes the Beach Boys as “one of the sickest bands ever formed.”

BW: And I could be the only person in baseball with an IQ of over 150. We’ll see, though. We could take an aptitude test or something.TB: OK. There’s some pretty smart guys in baseball.
BW: I’m sure there are. Can they do the USA (Today) crossword in less than a minute? I don’t think so.
Sounds like a dick.

Yeah, I really don’t think Brian Wilson has an IQ over 150.

You should probably take into account that this is directly after he claims he can levitate.
Trent Kline: Decentish. Also, my website is called ChatterBalks Dot Com and on it I make jokes about things.

my cat can do the USA Today crossword puzzle in a minute

This. Come back to me when you complete an end of the week NY Times puzzle, Brian.

Well, crosswords are essentially a developed skill and not a sign of intelligence.
By the same token, aptitude testing is largely a developed skill and not a sign of intelligence.
So he could be right.

I can’t decide if it’s for real, or he’s just messing with the interviewer.

Brian Wilson is actually a Sacha Baron Cohen character.

Well….I still think his tattoo is cool.

Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

I'm calling shenanigans
TB: In that case, I have to ask you about the tattoo (you can kind of see it here, but it’s got a big blue dragon and a lot of brilliant colors). How long did it take?BW: 24 hours. Three sittings. Yeah.
First, very few people can sit for 8 hours. Wilson may be one of them, because he is an intense and weird dude, and loves Jesus. But NO half-sleeve in the history of the world should take 24 hours, Hell, my entire backpiece took less than 10. Either he’s exaggerating, or his tattoo artist is lame.
But I do totally believe that he can levitate.

Don’t you see? JESUS gave him the power to sit in a chair with tiny needles poking into his skin and not have his ass go numb. That’s the true power of the Lord.

Plus I’m sort of ambivalent about getting a tattoo myself. On one hand, I’ve wanted a few for about four years now. On the other, I’m not sure if I can just sit there for a few hours and not lose my mind from boredom while the artist does his/her thing.
Might just stick to piercings. I got my last one done in like 15 minutes.

wait that is literally what she said. I’m so confused.

the pain will distract you from the boredom
it’s very effective that way

So much to look forward to.

WTF?!?
He professes his love for Owen over Rooney, then claims that with a few tweaks some team is better than the Brazilians. Dude?!? Come on now. Step back into reality.
Adoptive papa to Omar...so basically I'm screwed.
