When Life Imitates Snark

Pretty simple blog post today, just want to bring to light one of my favorite satirists of American sports, The Heckler.  If you are a sports fan and you are not paying attention to The Heckler you are an idiot.  They were Onion Sports before Onions Sports was anything.

While reading The Heckler the other day a couple articles caught my eye.  The one linked here about the prospect of the Wisconsin Badgers football program plucking yet another post grad quarterback, this time in the form of former Notre Dame quarterback Dayne Crist.  Also the one linked here about a tasty strategy for Cubs manager Dale Sveum to lure free agent first baseman Prince Fielder to the Chicago Cubs.

Both of these articles are satirical and speculative and written well before these entries from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.  The first one linked here about Dayne Crist seriously considering spending his final year of eligibility as quarterback of the Wisconsin Badgers and the one linked here about Dale Sveum being used as a tool to help lure Prince Fielder to the north side of Chicago.

Stories so nice they made me laugh twice.
