Around SBN: Dog Football! Which Breeds Are Best Suited For The Gridiron?

Nate Schierholtz makes an appearance in this weeks SI Pop Culture Grid.

The highlights:
1. Nate seems confident the Giants will take the NL West. Gulp.
2. He wants to date Megan Fox.
3. He recognizes Heidi Montag is desperate for attention.

The lowlights:
1. He's listening to the new Nickelback album. Kill me now.
2. He can't dance! (but he can knock certain catchers over)
3. He fails to pick up on the "True Blood" reference, claiming Sookie Stackhouse is "a giant sushi roll."

To round it out, he thinks GWB needs a hug, enjoys cooling off in the ocean, and surfing in the Caribbean.

All in all, a pretty decent dude, if a little bro-ish.

George Bush could use a hug, though. The way people booed him at Obama’s innauguration was way harsh (believe me, I was there)

True Blood = Sadly, not that good. :(

True Blood = Ain’t no Buffy.

A hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, it is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money.

When people talk about Megan Fox I get to make the excuse for not liking her that Megan’s my mom’s name, so it’d be creepy to fantasize about her.

But she’s nothing special as far as celebrity ladies go.

He must’ve just seen Transformers2. I agree with him except for the creepy tattoo of “Brian” on her, because its for Brian Austin Green. That guy always bothered me, and seeing his name on her just makes it worse

you guys are harsh. I’m not saying Nickelback is great. All of their songs sound the same, but there’s a lot worse crap out there.

Rather that post a bunch of replies

I am summing up my thoughts on this thread here.

1) Megan Fox is the most overrated chick this side of Jessica Alba. If she is still a star five years from now, I’ll eat two hats.

2) God, Nickelback sucks completely and utterly.

3) I adore Anna Paquin. I’d pick her over Megan Fox.

4) What the hell is Nate supposed to say? “Yeah, we might as well mail in the season, ‘cause there ain’t no way we’re catching the Dodgers.”
