	6:02pm Studio B Ben: My bracket may be BUSTED, but I have a very SPORTSY reason to be cheerful now!
	♥ 6:02pm Caryn: I really enjoy the 2014 edition of this song with Charlie Brooker.
	♥ 6:02pm Carmichael: Ian Dury! way to go, Sportsy folks! Go UCLA, lowest seed still in the running (#11).
	♥ 6:04pm Danne D: Your bracket can be busted Ben, I already engraved your name on the imaginary trophy
	♥ 6:04pm Jeff: Sportsy Murders: The Immolation of Mr. Met www.flickr.com...
	6:04pm glenn: hey caryn - www.thestar.com...
	♥ 6:05pm Greg from Bloomfield: Great job last night, Sportsy Talkers!
	♥ 6:05pm Danne D: @Greg - you were a monster on stage last night sir :)
	6:05pm Studio B Ben: @Danne D: Good thing it's imaginary, then! You can erase it as easily as Villanova erased my chances for a repeat!
	♥ 6:06pm Marcel M: Sportsy talkers!
	♥ 6:07pm Greg from Bloomfield: Aw, thanks Danne! That might have been the most fun I've ever had.
	♥ 6:07pm BriJet: Hi y'all! You Sportsy Talkers were great last night!! :)
	♥ 6:07pm Danne D: Ooooh studio guest no less :)
	♥ 6:09pm tomasz.: i posted Mr Met's immolation on FB and my friend said "don't be a hater, you're not even from here"
	♥ 6:09pm Danne D: Big News - the NFL is making the worst game ever available for free to anyone in the world next season: sports.yahoo.com...
	♥ 6:10pm Caryn: @glenn: aw... well, I can't help, all my money went to WFMU :/
	♥ 6:10pm Jeff: Bronwyn was mightily amused. www.flickr.com...
	♥ 6:10pm Danne D: Mascot abuse is a legit problem
	6:11pm glenn: but finnish solidarity.
	6:11pm Ralphine: What do y'all think about that nine-point-play idea that the Colts came up with?
	6:11pm angry Mets Fan: And I really hate the Red Sox. Maybe I'll by a signed David Ortiz jersey and burn it
	♥ 6:11pm Danne D: Mascot abuse: jonathanturley.org...
	6:12pm Cecile: Stream died.
	6:12pm Studio B Ben: Jim is the big winner of the bracket contest no matter what.
	♥ 6:12pm Caryn: @glenn: I will sing Finnish workers' songs and hope for the best in their honour!
	♥ 6:12pm Danne D: @Ralphine - almost as bad as the NHL Shootout and loser-point (almost)
	♥ 6:12pm Kat in Chicago: You two were adorable.
	6:13pm Carver: The crummy, early digital game reminds me of when NBC made a meaningless late-season Dolphin-Jet game into a highly-rated event by running the game with no announcers.
	♥ 6:13pm Skurky: $4,022 left. Mr. Met can go screw.
	♥ 6:14pm Matt from Springfield: "Pants on the Ground: The Opera"
	6:14pm Ralphine: I quit watching hockey when they got rid of the flame-tail behind the puck for hard shots on TV.
	♥ 6:15pm Danne D: what happened to Skirkie?
	6:15pm glenn: we canadians DESPISE the flame shot.
	6:15pm glenn: although my cat liked it, come to think of it.
	♥ 6:15pm Matt from Springfield: Social Darwinist violence streak in Bronwyn C!
	♥ 6:15pm Carmichael: Glenn, how do you feel about Ted Cruz, the Canadian -born US presidential candidate? :)
	♥ 6:15pm Danne D: and the fox robots. It was always weird seeing the puck superimposed over the people in the front row when it was by the near boards.
	6:16pm Ralphine: How do you know if a shot was hit hard if there's no flame behind the puck?
	♥ 6:16pm Skurky: You got a problem with phoeneticism?
	6:16pm Carver: I think Rabbit Maranville was the answer fed to Richie Cunningham when he was on a crooked game show answering questions about baseball.
	6:16pm Cecile: If Cruz was born in Canada, then he can't run. Has no one told him this?
	♥ 6:17pm Danne D: Liverpool's version of Skurky is stomping on other players: www.bbc.co.uk...
	♥ 6:18pm Caryn: @Cecile: well, it didn't stop Romney from running...
	♥ 6:18pm Kat in Chicago: That won't be necessary, Jim :) I fainted when I got the only tattoo I have, way back in 1984. I really want it covered up but that would be expensive. And also the fainting part.
	6:18pm Cecile: ay yi yi.
	♥ 6:18pm Folsom: Not aaron?
	6:18pm Cecile: Aren't these guys supposed to be constitutionalists? They should read it some time.
	♥ 6:19pm Matt from Springfield: "The Most Trusted Team in Prison Sports Commentating"
	♥ 6:19pm dale: i'm not far from otisville - if you end me a file i'll put it in an entenmann's coffee cake and take it to him.
	♥ 6:19pm dale: ....that or some porn.
	6:19pm glenn: you can have him. goodbye, good riddance, don't let the door hit your moronic rightwing ass on your way out.
	♥ 6:19pm Caryn: The burning of Mr. Met has clearly had an effect on Bronwyn. If there's a rash of mascot and stuffed animal burnings in the NJ/NY area, you all know who's to blame.
	♥ 6:20pm Danne D: Dave Hill can tell you about doing a show in prison (seriously)
	6:20pm steve: Dave Hill has done a number of comedy shows in prisons... ask him!
	6:20pm Cecile: mmmmm entemanns
	6:20pm Robert: Otisville is in Mt. Hope.
	♥ 6:21pm tomasz.: +1 on the OB from prison
	♥ 6:21pm dale: it's a town away from mount hope.
	6:21pm Cecile: well, have a great day all.
	6:22pm glenn: he has ZERO chance of even being nominated, anyway. he wants to abolish the I.R.S. for fuck's sake.
	6:22pm Ralphine: Denny McLain was Comeback Player of the Year when he went to prison for the second time.
	♥ 6:22pm tomasz.: the comedy pizza guy should run again. he was entertaining
	♥ 6:23pm Caryn: @Cecile: oh, it doesn't concern them. They just blame others for infractions they're guilty of themselves. US-born Obama is supposedly not allowed to run for President, but foreign-born Cruz and Mittens are A-OK. There should be voter ID laws because blacks, latinos and other Dems are clearly crooks, while GOP politicos keep getting caught voting several times at the same election.
	♥ 6:24pm Matt from Springfield: @glenn: Abolishing the IRS is a minimum requirement for candidates in today's GOP.
	6:25pm glenn: welp, then they shouldn't be too shocked when a democrat wins the presidency for the next 300 years or so.
	6:25pm Robert: It's harder to make a FM receiver; can't do it w just a xtal AFAIK as the only non-linear element. BTW, I'm the same as registered user Listener Robert. But there's already a registered user Robert -- who may also be me.
	♥ 6:25pm tomasz.: Danne, i hope you played it off to your friend like "oh, yeah, that's Jim, he just likes to dress that way"
	6:26pm JakeGould: Is North Carolina like the new “Canada” for girlfriends.
	6:26pm drewo: 'Monkey' was great last night. Not to worry, we were all drunk too.
	♥ 6:27pm Matt from Springfield: @glenn: But they'll have the satisfaction of knowing that, through it all, they are the real conservatives!!...
	6:27pm Ralphine: I tried to read the cricket column on ESPN.com, but it was gibberish to me.
	♥ 6:28pm Matt from Springfield: @Jake: What is "Canada for Girlfriends", besides a future indie rock band?
	6:28pm Robert: If you want to preview Aussie Rules, just come to the Bronx & watch Gaelic football. It's almost the same thing.
	6:28pm steve: i am simply incapable of understanding cricket.
	♥ 6:29pm tomasz.: i have lived in the UK for 31 years and cover cricket as part of my job and i still don't have a clue
	♥ 6:29pm Danne D: (I tweeted the Aussie rules football guest to the Sportsytalk account guys) :) I have to hit the road but will be enjoying the interview from the car :D
	♥ 6:30pm Danne D: (I use the BBC app for cricket world cup coverage btw)
	♥ 6:30pm Danne D: Bye all :)
	6:30pm glenn: maybe north carolina is where girlfriends go when they don't want you stalking them anymore?
	6:31pm steve: damn. well that makes me feel better tom, haha.
	♥ 6:31pm Matt from Springfield: See ya Danne! :) @tomasz: It's like card game "Bridge" advice columns--just mix and match the same gibberish over and over again and no one will complain ;)
	♥ 6:32pm Caryn: All you cricket-impaired people, look at it this way: even Thatcher managed to make a fool of herself by trying to make a "clever" cricket reference that went awry. So always better to honestly admit you have no clue.
	♥ 6:33pm Carmichael: I have heard the phrase "sticky wicket", and have no idea what that means.
	♥ 6:33pm tomasz.: here is a good summary of cricket www.intermain.org.uk...
	6:34pm JakeGould: @tomasz.: In Park Slope in Prospect Park there are small cricket leagues. I would spend hours just watching and it seemed like automaton magic. They were having fun, but I still didn’t get it.
	6:34pm Robert: If you're ever coaching children's football in a draft league, and you get to the late rounds & there's a girl, if you know nothing else, draft her. They tend to be underestimated. We drafted one in 2010 & were not disappointed.
	6:34pm steve: a few nights ago i fell asleep to an asmr video of an Indian man sharing his collection of cricket trading cards. that was nice.
	♥ 6:34pm Caryn: @Carm: occasionally, wikipedia can be your friend: en.wikipedia.org...
	6:35pm steve: hahaha that is hilarious tom
	6:35pm Studio B Ben: I used to wear a batting glove when playing co-ed softball, and everybody'd see it and back up. I could always hit a single that way.
	6:35pm glenn: if you think a baseball's hard, wait until you get hit by a cricket ball. mega-ouchy.
	♥ 6:36pm tomasz.: @Jake: i always wondered about cricket's level of recognition in the States. i suppose if it was going to happen anywhere, Brooklyn would be a good guess.
	♥ 6:36pm Caryn: @tomasz: all that's missing from that description is "and this will all take several days".
	♥ 6:37pm tomasz.: @Caryn: ha ha, yeah. "pack a lunch. pack more than one lunch."
	6:37pm glenn: brooklyn's had a cricket league for something like 200 years, if i remember correctly.
	6:38pm JakeGould: @tomasz.: Well, this was Park Slope in the early 1990s. Not when it was “hipster” Brooklyn but more just mixed immigrants from India and elsewhere playing.
	♥ 6:38pm Carmichael: Thanks, Caryn. I think it must have been Hogan's Heroes where I heard it.
	♥ 6:39pm tomasz.: @glenn/Jake: oh fair play! makes good sense, i'd never heard of it before
	6:39pm Robert: I taught Angelina & a couple other players how to cut block. About 15 min. later the head coach calls her into a scrimmage-type drill, and on the 1st snap she puts our star athlete, son of the head football coach at SUNY Maritime, on his face. They both came up giggling, but it earned me a lot of respect.
	6:41pm JakeGould: @tomasz.: In hipster Brooklyn, nobody would play cricket but instead embrace kickball, shuffle-board and bocce ball. It’s got to be weirder, and not a deep commitment yet quirky. Bowling teeters on that edge, but is too formal for some.
	♥ 6:41pm Caryn: I miss the days when British tv used to show the Kabaddi league from India. I could watch that for hours. Simple, and so entertaining!
	6:42pm Robert: BTW, SUNY Maritime's a football power in NCAA 3.
	♥ 6:42pm Carmichael: I can't find any free cricket broadcasts in the US, at least on Comcast or DirecTV. It's all subscription only.
	6:43pm Robert: They actually televise kabaddi?!
	6:44pm glenn: i bet you can stream the india premier league for free.
	♥ 6:44pm Matt from Springfield: Fast Zombies vs. Slow Zombies - this is classic Thunk Tank era Bronwyn chat!
	6:44pm Robert: I thought kabaddi was strictly a participant sport. Fun to play, wish it'd been available around here when I was in better condition, but never thought many people would enjoy watching it.
	♥ 6:46pm Caryn: @Robert: they used to. in the late 80s or 90s. It is oddly enjoyable to watch. I think part of the enjoyment comes from thinking, "this seems simple and fun, I might like to do this myself!" Nowadays, I mostly watch female kabaddi if I can catch it somewhere.
	6:49pm glenn: i was in a local bar when a t.v. came off the wall and landed on charlie o'brien.
	♥ 6:50pm Carmichael: I'll check it out, Glenn.
	6:50pm Robert: If Permanent Twister isn't enough, I suppose we could play Terminal Kabaddi, like the cops w that Garner guy.
	6:52pm glenn: try here. -www.facebook.com...
	6:53pm Kenji: This might be the most trusted team...period.
	♥ 6:54pm tomasz.: there's a great sport magazine show that airs in the UK called TransWorld Sport and they go out of their way to cover the whole world of sports. i've seen kabaddi coverage on that before.
	♥ 6:55pm Caryn: Hmm, now I want Sportsy Talk to cover kabaddi some day. Like the differences between the international and 4 different Indian versions. Rectangular or circular pitch?
	♥ 6:56pm tomasz.: your audiance has spoken, Sportsies. find kabaddi!
	♥ 6:56pm tomasz.: eurgh, "audiEnce", obviously
	♥ 6:57pm Matt from Springfield: @Caryn: You'd have to write a couple paragraphs introducing the hosts (and all of us!) to kabaddi ins and outs, but after that we'll take it up like kabaddi fanatics!
	♥ 6:57pm Caryn: For instance, the Iranian women's team is a major player in kabaddi. I find that fascinating, considering the challenges female athletes face in Iran.
	♥ 6:58pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks Bronwyn and Jim and Jill and callers and commenters! Have a good evening Sportsypeople!
	♥ 6:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Bronwyn, how's your massive bruise coming along?
	♥ 6:59pm SeanG: isn't the show over in 1 minute?
	7:00pm Robert: Oh, I sure hope they don't hit the station goal during Dr. Gameshow. It'd be like when the Iron Curtain fell during George Bush Sr.'s presidency.
	♥ 7:02pm SeanG: Oops, I was listening in the past!

	6:41pm JakeGould: @tomasz.: In hipster Brooklyn, nobody would play cricket but instead embrace kickball, shuffle-board and bocce ball. It’s got to be weirder, and not a deep commitment yet quirky. Bowling teeters on that edge, but is too formal for some.
	♥ 6:41pm Caryn: I miss the days when British tv used to show the Kabaddi league from India. I could watch that for hours. Simple, and so entertaining!
	6:42pm Robert: BTW, SUNY Maritime's a football power in NCAA 3.
	♥ 6:42pm Carmichael: I can't find any free cricket broadcasts in the US, at least on Comcast or DirecTV. It's all subscription only.
	6:43pm Robert: They actually televise kabaddi?!
	6:44pm glenn: i bet you can stream the india premier league for free.
	♥ 6:44pm Matt from Springfield: Fast Zombies vs. Slow Zombies - this is classic Thunk Tank era Bronwyn chat!
	6:44pm Robert: I thought kabaddi was strictly a participant sport. Fun to play, wish it'd been available around here when I was in better condition, but never thought many people would enjoy watching it.
	♥ 6:46pm Caryn: @Robert: they used to. in the late 80s or 90s. It is oddly enjoyable to watch. I think part of the enjoyment comes from thinking, "this seems simple and fun, I might like to do this myself!" Nowadays, I mostly watch female kabaddi if I can catch it somewhere.
	6:49pm glenn: i was in a local bar when a t.v. came off the wall and landed on charlie o'brien.
	♥ 6:50pm Carmichael: I'll check it out, Glenn.
	6:50pm Robert: If Permanent Twister isn't enough, I suppose we could play Terminal Kabaddi, like the cops w that Garner guy.
	6:52pm glenn: try here. -www.facebook.com...
	6:53pm Kenji: This might be the most trusted team...period.
	♥ 6:54pm tomasz.: there's a great sport magazine show that airs in the UK called TransWorld Sport and they go out of their way to cover the whole world of sports. i've seen kabaddi coverage on that before.
	♥ 6:55pm Caryn: Hmm, now I want Sportsy Talk to cover kabaddi some day. Like the differences between the international and 4 different Indian versions. Rectangular or circular pitch?
	♥ 6:56pm tomasz.: your audiance has spoken, Sportsies. find kabaddi!
	♥ 6:56pm tomasz.: eurgh, "audiEnce", obviously
	♥ 6:57pm Matt from Springfield: @Caryn: You'd have to write a couple paragraphs introducing the hosts (and all of us!) to kabaddi ins and outs, but after that we'll take it up like kabaddi fanatics!
	♥ 6:57pm Caryn: For instance, the Iranian women's team is a major player in kabaddi. I find that fascinating, considering the challenges female athletes face in Iran.
	♥ 6:58pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks Bronwyn and Jim and Jill and callers and commenters! Have a good evening Sportsypeople!
	♥ 6:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Bronwyn, how's your massive bruise coming along?
	♥ 6:59pm SeanG: isn't the show over in 1 minute?
	7:00pm Robert: Oh, I sure hope they don't hit the station goal during Dr. Gameshow. It'd be like when the Iron Curtain fell during George Bush Sr.'s presidency.
	♥ 7:02pm SeanG: Oops, I was listening in the past!
