The SoBros Mailbag: 54th Edition – 90s Hip Hop and Paying Student Athletes

Share This Post

Let’s face it – every day we are routinely bombarded with questions. When you’re an emerging media company in Nashville, people just want to know what your opinions are on everything. It’s only natural. And, since our duty is to serve the people, well, we have no choice but to be present. That’s the SoBro Way. Also, aren’t mailbags just a barrel of laughs anyway? Welcome to the newest weekly recurring feature up in this bitch: The SoBros Mailbag. As always, use #SoBrosMailbag to hit us up on Twitter.

Question, from our guy Joshua Huffman on Facebook:

What would a dream SoBrosMania card look like? Here’s a start: 

SoBros Four Horsemen vs Has Been Sports vs WKRN 

Joshua Huffman vs Brandon Vick

Undertaker & Tim Kelly vs Kane & Dennis Kelly 

Curt Hawkins vs Jesse Sandow

Clay Travis vs Dave Portnoy

EDIT: Since Undertaker has a $25,000/hr appearance fee, we probably need to make that match the opener so we’re not just paying for him to stand around waiting on other matches. 

Answer:

Love it – the story of your match with Brandon…..man, we can bill that as what? 18 years in the making? It would be like the street fight between Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania XIX.

If we don’t want to go that route, we can do us with former Titans we’ve taken photos with as a special attraction match. Eddie George and me vs. Jevon Kearse and you.

I’m also going to make the main event WAR GAMES.

Question:

Answer:

I’ll take my grandma walking in on me having sex eight days a week, Stan. Maybe then, she’ll quit asking me if I have a girlfriend yet.

Question:

Answer:

Give me “Gin and Juice,” “California Love,” Make ‘Em Say UHHH,” and Mase’s “Feel So Good.” Shout out to “Hypnotize” as well….but I have to give Mase the nod because that song is what actually got me into hip hop as a kid.

“Gin and Juice” is THE jam for me – it’s the first thing I think of when you say 90s hip hop.

Question:

Answer:

I’m going with Jules Winfield because he’s a sociopath on a mission. Nick Fury because he’s…well…he’s a superhero…..and the hold up man from Coming to America.

It’s not really a fair fight to me. I desperately want to say Jules Winfield would be the last man standing out of all of these characters because he’s such a badass, but I think Nick Fury defeats them all. He just has a knack for survival.

Question:

Answer:

For the sake of brevity, I’m just going to do the OG Avengers, but this is a fun question that might be worth exploring in a full article, Brett…

Captain America – Mel Gibson
Iron Man – Johnny Depp
Thor – Nicolas Cage (lol)
Hulk – Brendan Fraser
Hawkeye – Freddie Prinze, Jr.
Black Widow – Uma Thurman

Question:

Answer:

I think we should just embrace the culture of Nashville and call our baseball team the Nashville Bachelorettes. Their mascot will be a drunk woman with a pink sash. As a GM, I’m building around Frank Thomas, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Unfortunately, I’m going to be tending to the day job today. But, I’m heading over to a co-workers place (we can work remotely) so I’ll at least be able to watch the games while “working.” Cinderella? Gotta be Murray State.

Question:

Answer:

Po farmer, that’s a big question. I think it just sort of naturally comes with the growth of a city….especially considering how rapidly Nashville is growing. It’s easy to spend other people’s money, but shoring up the police force would be a start.

Question:

Answer:

I haven’t seen it yet, Bromondo, but everyone keeps telling me about it. This is such a complex question – in short, yeah…I think the kids deserve a cut. But, I understand how difficult it would be to regulate that. Is it really, “all players paid equally” or what? I don’t know – this is far too complicated an issue to fully address in the mailbag, but generally speaking, I think people should be figuring out a way to give student athletes their cut.

Keep the questions coming – catch y’all next week!
