Dave Zirin Working the Morning Joe Crowd

Our fellow (and much more famous, much more respectable) Macalester Alum, Dave Zirin of Edge of Sports was on MSNBC's Morning Joe some weeks back.  I mean, he writes books, whilst I sit around and wonder, "Can I really rhyme Jim Plunkett with Him Funked It*?"

I caught the last few minutes of this when it aired, but it never occurred to me that there would some html code that would allow me to put just Zirin's interview up for air.  Here it is.  I'm pretty sure he's making eyes with Mika.  I would too.  Who doesn't want to tag the daughter of Carter's National Security Advisor?  You are only going to get some many chances in life, right?

But seriously, folks.  Dave is awesome, and as articulate as we are for sportsbloggers, Dave is a one smart cat.  We know from experience that given the opportunity, he'll blow your mind with his hip-hop knowledge as well.

Yeah, Dave is good beans. He sure seemed amped up.

Can we start a methamphetamine rumor?
