Sports Guy Reader Mail

The Sports Guy has a new mailbag today and, as always, it is hilarious. In the tradition of his Dr. Jack breakdowns of Seinfeld vs Cheers and Deniro vs Pacino, he breaks down the OC vs 90210. And he also has this little snippet:

Q: You made a comment in your Ramblings about letting Isiah Thomas
run different things into the ground. Well, we're living through just that right now. It's called "The Life of George W. Bush". Running multiple oil companies into the ground? No problem. Trading Sammy Sosa when he ran the Texas Rangers? No problem. Running the U.S. economy into the ground? No problem. And I didn't even touch the whole Iraq thing. Quite a resume he has -- much more impressive
than Isiah, don't you think?-- Kevin B., Phoenix
SG: I'm not sure I see the comparison. For one thing, Isiah doesn't owe much of his career to his father; people keep giving him chances over and over again, for no reason at all, really. But more important, I think he would have one-upped Dubya as
president by being able to hunt down Bin Laden ... it's just that Isiah would
have immediately offered him a six-year, $70 million contract and screwed up
America's salary cap for the next five years.
