The JoeSportsFan trio of Sebek, Bacott and Imig were finally back in the studio together after a week off. Bacott saw "The Hangover" which features a cameo by Mike Tyson and began to wonder if there are any athletes, like Tyson, who we largely underestimated as children for various reasons.
After a rigorous interview last week with Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch, we returned to our usual antics. The weekly "Wiffle Ball" round table features Greg Wyshynski (Yahoo! Puck Daddy) and Matt Ufford (WithLeather.com).
Topics for this week's round table included:
1.) You're named Creative Director for EA Sports and have the ability to pick any "backyard sport" as the next big video game production for 2010. What are you choosing and why?
2.) You can contract one team from any of the major sports. Who's your team and why.
3.) What is one sports record that completely fascinates you? Could be completely random, insanely weird or ridiculously impressive. Whatever you want.
4.) You're held captive in an Al Qaeda terrorist cell. Your freedom depends on victory in a game of pickup basketball. You also have the ability to bring inanimate objects to life. What one video game athlete are you teaming with to ensure victory for the free world?
5.) What is your favorite sports uniform (real or fake) that has appeared in a television show.
