audiogeek Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Each week, Sports Illustrated interviews four athletes, asking them quick, sound-byte questions. For instance, a recent issue asked for "Best Tearjerker Movie", "Bottles of water I drank today", "I get the chills when I think of...". This week's issue one of the questions was "Wilco is..." along with a picture of W(TA). The four answers: "Unknown in my world", "I have no idea who that is", "No clue", and "I don't know". You gotta hand it to Sports Illustrated for trying, I guess. What does this ultimately tell us about Sports Illustrated, the athletes who were polled, or Wilco's popularity (or lack thereof)? Not much, I suppose. But it was kind of fun to see the band mentioned anyway.

DAngerer09 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 i think the athletes went 0-4, not Wilco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

barbkm Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Well, if you look at what they are playing on thier ipods (Michal jackson, Ken Chesney, Beyonce) it's no wonder they haven't heard of Wilco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OOO Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 That, or he realizes it's not a big deal if a topic gets posted twice. You're 0-for-1 in reading comprehension, since he already mentioned that he mistakenly reposted this. (And I'm 2-for-2 in dickish posts!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
