What makes southern Wisconsin so rugged?
Southern Wisconsin It is not rugged, southwest Wisconsin is. West of Madison, particularly north of the Wisconsin River to a point just south of I94. Because it's unglaciated.

See, for me it's not what he says, it's how he says it. He constantly makes grunt/snort/groan noises and I just find it unbelievably annoying. Maybe if I grew up with him, I'd find it charming. Instead, I find it repulsive. He sounds like he's some sort of mutated pig monster from a children's cartoon. If he's my only option, I don't even bother listening to the game at all.
I was listening to him the other night during a rain delay, and he sounded a lot like John Madden.
Brandon Phillips can't be all bad:
One Ohio little leaguer got a big league surprise during his game.
Cincinnati Reds All-Star Brandon Phillips showed up to a little league baseball game Thursday night after 14-year-old Connor Echols tweeted him, asking him to come.
"I said, 'Let me think about this.' His game was at 6:15. When I got finished eating, it was like 6:10 and I thought, well shoot, I'm going to go to his game. I had nothing else to do. I thought, 'Let me go out and support the little man.' I went out there and he had a great game. I met all his teammates. I met everybody in the park. It was fun. I had a great time," Phillips told the Cincinnati Enquirer.
My parents are season ticket holders at a Frontier League team in Kentucky. They said last season Phillips showed up to watch a game. He didn't go up to the owners box to watch the game like all other figures do, he sat in the same section as my parents with his girl friend to just enjoy the game. Then dozens of kids flocked to him immediately. He kept a smile on his face and signed autographs for every last kid.
I don't think he "hates" the Cardinals or St. Louis, he's simply trying to draw attention to the "rivalry". The Reds struggle to draw 20,000 to a game, they need any bit of excitement they can get.
I've said it before, Gomes and Cueto are the only Reds players I don't like. I mainly dislike Dusty Baker. He can go eat a fat turd.
