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, hit us with those mailbag questions @SoBrosNetwork on Twitter, email ’em to me anonymously at thesobrosnetwork@gmail.com. And, holy shit, I need to update this terrible intro paragraph that I’ve been using literally ever since I started writing this column…
Question, from Dom via text:
In your blog regarding your fall trip to Knoxville, the final line mentions that you can still feel the chill October wind blowing through your hair. My question is – which particular hair, and why is it so susceptible to a windchill which occurred months before?
Answer:
The hair on my bare chest and back. Going shirtless makes me chili, and every time I get that chill, I think of the cool breeze between the Smoky Mountains, nestled in the valleys of Cades Cove.
Question:
Should the Titans take on Aaron Rodgers and his massive ego?
— Ed Helinski 🇺🇸🇵🇱 🌴 (@MrEd315) February 13, 2025
Answer:
I don’t think so, Ed. To me, this is a young locker room that needs to have its own leaders emerge and grow into those roles. I’m not sure it’s a stable or mature enough locker room to withstand all of the shenanigans that come along with Aaron Rodgers. But, I’m not ready to rule it out just yet in case the Titans end up in a spot where they can’t do any better. Buckle up for one hell of an offseason.
Question:
Everybody wants a 1st round qb. But who's your favorite 5th rounder you'd take to develop into a long term backup for the franchise.
— eddie (@wondernomma) February 13, 2025
Answer:
I’m going to go with Max Brosmer. Caught my eye a few times watching the Aireontae Ersery tape, and supposedly stole the show at the Shrine Bowl. I haven’t caught up on his actual tape yet, but I’m intrigued and I really don’t like the depth in this quarterback class elsewhere.
Question:
1) If you had to sleep with one male character (human or not) from the Star Wars universe, who would it be?
— Eldon English (shrike113) (@shrike4113) February 14, 2025
2) What is your Yankee Candle Origin story?
3) Like @eastonfreeze and @Sam_Phalen, do you also think “Livin’ La Vida Loca” was a song by Enrique Iglesias?
Answer:
- Yoda, ’cause he’s small and wouldn’t take up too much space.
- Walked into the Mount Juliet store when it first opened just to check it out. Discovered Autumn Woods, and really enjoyed the feeling of how festive a fragrance made things feel. I’ve been burning ’em and coming up with my own weird burn schedule to accentuate any given season ever since.
- No way – those young guys don’t know about Ricky Martin.
Question:
4) If you could only play one bar game (darts, pool, etc) for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?
— Eldon English (shrike113) (@shrike4113) February 14, 2025
5) Do you ever have the random thought of “how many ants would it take to fill my entire bedroom”?
6) If you could make one cartoon real life, what would it be/why?
Answer:
4. I’m going to count ping pong because I’ve played ping pong in a few bars even though it’s not in every bar. I love the flow of the game and the physical exercise you get with it. If not ping pong, then foosball.
5. No, but now I’m going to think about it every time I enter my bedroom.
6. Hey Arnold because I was always jealous of his room and would love to live there and turn it into my office.
Question:
Thoughts on Saints hire at HC?
— McCash (@MC_Cash75) February 14, 2025
Answer:
Kellen Moore is long overdue for a head coaching gig. I’m a fan. He has a successful track record, and should do some fun stuff with some of that Saints personnel.
