Jim and Al are idiots, but all of us are way bigger idiots

Hey! You probably don’t know me. I used to write for this site, back in the salad days (131 posts in the first 13 months, 8 in the last three years). Clark Matthews refers to me as “The Sarah Palin of The Lost Ogle” because of my propensity to give up early.

Last week I was talking to Patrick and he told me wants me to start posting again and has a great idea for what I should write about: OETA. Seriously, dude – eight posts in three years. I’m as big an Angela Rosecrans fan as anyone, but I’m not leaving cushy post-obscure-local-social-blogging-retirement for freaking OETA.

But then I heard the Total Dominance Hour last Thursday and got so aggravated I had no choice but to see if I could remember my password here and write about it.

I tuned in in the middle of the conversation, so I don’t know how they got started talking about it, but they were talking about boxing. Do you know what Jim and Al think about boxing? After the flip, I'll tell you.

Jim and Al think boxing is nowhere near as popular as it used to be. Jim and Al are pretty sad that boxing is nowhere near as popular as it used to be. Jim and Al used to watch boxing on Wide World of Sports. Jim and Al think boxing is popular in the Phillippines because of Manny Pacquio. Jim and Al think boxing may be popular in Russia, where those one twins are from. Jim and Al think MMA may have affected boxing’s popularity. Jim and Al don’t know why boxers in the Olympics have to be amateurs. Jim and Al sure are sad that boxing isn’t as popular as it used to be.
