Hearing Dwight attempt to overthrow Michael in The Office

Wade Boggs Probably Has a Lovely Room of Death


We have Wade Boggs on SBL this week to plug Johnnie Walker and RADD's fight against drunk driving, so, naturally, we talked about baseball and the playoffs and riding around on a police horse in Yankee Stadium. Ho-hum stuff, really. But at the end of the interview, on a tip from our studio producer Brian, I asked Boggs about big-game hunting. That's when the fun began.

Wade Boggs

"Boggs: I'm the only professional athlete to ever take the Big Five and Dangerous Seven.

SBL: What's the Big Five and Dangerous Seven?

Boggs: Lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, rhino, and then the Dangerous Seven add the hippo and the croc.

SBL: Holy moly. What was the coolest one for you?

Boggs: Probably the elephant. Probably the elephant.

SBL: Which one puts up the best fight?

Boggs: Actually, they were all one-shot kills.

SBL: Yep, right down? Wow. That's insane."

That last quote was mine, and I meant it. Take two minutes to listen to the mp3 and have a good laugh while simultaneously recoiling in horror...

 Hear Boggs on big-game hunting (mp3).

 Hear the full Boggs interview.

Related: Hall of Famer Bruce Sutter will be on SBL this coming week, but you can hear that now. Highlights include Cards fans and Cubs fans managing to maintain the peace in Cooperstown this summer.

    And one more damn thing ... ELEPHANTS ARE ON THE ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST!  THEY ARE ALMOST GONE DUE TO THE ENCROACHMENT OF MAN, POACHERS AND JERK-OFFS LIKE WADE BOGGS.
    But I'm not angry, I'm really not angry ... THE HELL I'M NOT ANGRY!  (Apologies to John Wayne.)  Yo Boggs!  You like corks don'tcha'?  Here's a tip for you son.  Why don't you put a cork in the muzzle of your elephant gun.  You'll REALLY get a rush outta that, bitch.~Dawg~  www.therealbigdawg.com

    Wade Boggs is a chump.  Ted Nugent is a hunter, but at least he eats what he kills.  Nugent hunts with bow and arrow.  Did Boggs eat the elephant?  How 'bout all the other animals he murdered.  DON'T GET ME WRONG - I'M A GUN GUY.  I love to shoot - at targets such as tin cans or paper targets.  I have qualified on almost every weapon in the book.  I took the FBI weapons course in the late '70's.  Before that, I was in the military during the 'Nam War.  But, the ONLY way to go out and kill a wild animal for just a rush and feel all macho about it would be if these poor animals could shoot back.  
    Your photo of Boggs says alot to me about his commitment to drinking responsibly.
    Kudos to your producer.  What would we do do without our producers?
    Back to the point that your producer tipped you off to: Bogg's braggadocio about his "kills" makes me wanna bitch slap him - and DC, you can tell him that for me.  If he doesn't like the fact that I think he's a low-life and a coward, tell him (if he ever gets sober) that I will step into the ring with his ass anytime, anywhere or place ... Asian rules.  Proceed will go to charity.  Boggs would go to the hospital.  Boggs ... this is to you, boy ... you are a piece of Sh*t and I am ashamed of you.~Dawg~
