FRIDAY EMAIL RESPONSES
Bryan,
I know you joked about Craig Wilson's hair before, but can you do it again? Would he look better if he wore his hair in a pony-tail?
Kevin, Santa Barbara

Kevin, thanks for the email. Let me make one thing perfectly clear...No man has ever looked good in a pony-tail ever. You can't name one, it's just not possible. The way his hair is now I think CW looks a lot like a professional wrestler. When you're in a sport that's actually respectable, I don't think that is a look somebody should go for.

Hey,
What did you think of Michael Vick proclaiming his heterosexuality on the radio?
Mitch Berry in the ATL

The best part of Michael Vick's statement was when he said "people who know me, they know how I get down." I think that this is a troubling trend that is taking form in professional sports. First Mike Piazza, then Jeff Garcia, now Michael Vick. It goes back to my "any jackass with a pulse and a computer can post things on the internet" theory. Somebody starts a rumor that some mega-star athlete is gay. It puts the athlete in a predicament because if you ignore the rumors people will think that they are true, but if you respond to them and proclaim your heterosexuality it sends the message that there is something wrong with being a homosexual. I don't really have a solution to the problem other than maybe people should have a little integrity and class and not post wild rumors on-line. Stick to something factual, like that time that I broke the story that John Elway and his Martian mistress had two secret alien babies. It's all about class, people.

Bryan,
Did you see Larry Brown in the post-game press conference last night?
Colin, Milwaukee

I'm guessing that you are referring to the "Charles Rogers jersey over the collared-shirt and tie" combo that coach Brown was going for. Yeah, I don't think that the Jersey/collared shirt combo is the best look for anybody, especially an 65 year old NBA coach. Whatever, at least it gave me a much-needed laugh after the Bucks got run out of the playoffs.

Bryan,
Thanks for the entertainment, Against the Grain is awesome. Do you think there is any possibility of the Brewers trading Ben Sheets?
Adam, La Crosse

Thanks for the email. I don't think they will this season. I just don't see how they could get a better value than a front-of-the-rotation type pitcher for 2.4 million. He's only 25 and still getting better. I read that there were rumors that the Yankees were interested in him, not the management, just the NY media. I don't know if that means anything, but Doug Melvin has said that he doesn't "feel motivated" to trade Sheets at this time.

Thanks to everybody who sent emails, I hope that the consolation prize of having me respond to them when I don't answer them on ATG is enough motivation to keep you writing. Thanks again, everybody.
