I noticed you tweeted your request 13 hours ago but am wondering if it's still valid. Could you estimate the odds on the number of women who got your Chile/cross-country skiing joke? I mean, sports AND geography? Why not throw some long division in there while you're at it? Thanks, Twitter.com/GregVegas

More than you think.  There are a lot of women sports fans who follow me.  In fact, if I have any female followers left after my Fake Klosterman days, they’d have to be sports fans to stick with me this long.  And I never heard the stereotype that women don’t know geography, has anyone else?

It's really strange when I get a "poke" on facebook

illustratedexample:

like me and my friends have poked each other just messing around, and that’s whatever, but it’s a little strange to get one from some girl I used to work with and never really talked to that much.

She wants a V-Day booty call.  Poke her back, or you’ll end up in Drew’s Friday column.

You're probably sick of Deadspin questions (or not), but how long did it take for your account to be approved? I've been on there for awhile now and seem to be stuck. I don't always get to comment every day. Not sure if the lack of quantity is hurting me or if I am just not as funny as I thought. Thanks.

It took a few weeks.  I tried a few times by only posting one comment.  You need to post a string of good ones under the same account.  Here’s the one that got me approved.  Did you know that I’ve made over 3000 comments on Deadspin?  I really do need a girlfriend.

Oh, and I’ll never tire of Deadspin comments, even though you should really be asking Matt T or Chief Wahoo instead.

Why is your name Bobby Big Wheel?

In hockey, the guy on the team who talks a big game with the ladies but can’t back it up is often called Bobby Big Wheel.  Let’s just say I earned the moniker.  Thanks for the holiday-appropriate question.

C’mon, Matt T, Jerkstore, Redjeep et al, I know I can do this. Join me?

This is quite tempting.  Has anyone ever done this before? Tips?

My gig at NFP is over

So that’s why some of my prior links to columns might not work.  Regardless, I’m happy with the way things have turned out so far.  My real job is about to get busy, football season is almost over, and I had a creative outlet for a bit.  But ultimately, I’m a better lawyer than football writer.

Simpsons Compendium at NFP → bit.ly

Since there’s no way I could generate enough mail or Tweets about the Pro Bowl, my editor and I ran a back-and-forth on The Simpsons instead.  Even if you’ve never seen the show, read it so you can start getting jokes on Deadspin.
