The Return of Vinny Greenhead

The latest from the Sound of Nonsense newsroom:

Bill Simmons vs. Chuck Klosterman. Cage-match steel-chair battle royale of sports, pop culture, and music. To which I respond with the Homer drool face. Link

Music vs. Time. A good article on whether the ability to have piles of music at your fingertips is really a good thing. On a different note, Stylus just finished its "Top 50 Basslines of All Time," which strikes me as ridiculous, both bad ridiculous and good ridiculous.

Vinny Greenhead vs. Tecmo SuperBowl. There were seven when Jerry Rice retired, but now it's back to eight with the return of Vinny to the Jets. If I were one of the seven other players trying to outlast the others from the classic original 1991 version of TSB on the NES, I'd be furious about seeing Testaverde back in action.
But who are these other 7 senior citizens of the NFL? I'll give you the positions, sports dorks: OG, WR, CB, LB, K, P, and P/QB (this one's easy). Two will most likely be in the hall of fame. Only one is a Demon Deacon who unexplicably had a reverse to him in Tecmo's Phoenix playbook despite having the slowest footspeed at his position. Answers to come in the comments.

At left, a Ken O'Brien pass is intended for Al Toon but it will most likely be intercepted by Tampa Bay's Wayne Haddix. First down, Buccaneers.

Did You Know? The Internet in Minnesota is the same as the Internet in Northern Virginia, only more beautiful in the fall.
