In his
hilarious mailbag on November 13, 2008, Bill Simmons, The Sports Guy, accepted the "nomination" for Sports Czar in President(-Elect) Barack Obama's cabinet. On the first week of 2009, he will post a complete platform for his bid to become the first Sports Czar of the United States.
Among the duties he plans to faithfully uphold, he wants to create a college football playoff system (finally!) and have championship belts (a la WWF) for the reigning NBA champs to wear to every NBA game until they are dethroned (still gotta wear that collared shirt, though). He will forbid bullpens from emptying during baseball brawls (for some reason in baseball & hockey it's okay) and force NHL tickets to be no more than $75 (would I even watch the San Jose Sharks for free???). And my favorite,
Gus Johnson will be promoted to CBS' lead play-by-play announcer for March Madness (particularly the Final Four). We shouldn't even need the Sports Guy for that to happen. It's really common sense.
In a blog post a few days ago, I showcased the
Bill Simmons Mosaic Poster that I had created on ZAZZLE (it's pretty cool, check it out). Well, I'm so excited about the possibility of the Sports Guy becoming the Sports Czar, that I made an entire
Bill Simmons product line on ZAZZLE with new
Bill Simmons for Sports Czar gear.
I created a t-shirt that comes in many different styles and colors:
A nice ringer mug:
There's even a pack of 20 skinny cards to give out to spread the word!
Wondering what to do with that Obama/Biden bumper sticker (or even worse that McCain/Palin one)? Wonder no more! Cover it up, with a
Bill Simmons for Sports Czar bumper sticker! Yes We Can! Yes We Can!
But that's not it! There are also
ties,
stickers,
magnets,
buttons,
bags,
hats,
key chains,
mouse pads and
grilling aprons too! I also created real U.S. postage stamps, but they got rejected for "policy violations." I think it's because I had "Czar" on it. Not a very American-friendly term. The USPS doesn't fool around...
