« Orioles: Trade deadline dead ahead | Main | Today's other featured comment »
Today's featured comment comes from a poster named John Porter who thinks he sees a resemblance between me and a TV star:
John's take: Has anybody ever told you, you look like Bruce Cambell kinda?
Pete's reply: I wish. I'll let all of you decide. Here's a picture of Campbell, who stars in the USA Network series Burn Notice. Other than the shirt, I'm not seeing it.

Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.

You're correct, Pete. It's just the shirt. All though you're just as funny as Bruce Campbell is. I'll let you decide whether that's a compliment or not.

As far as I know , there is only one and the only Schmuck , my favorite turtle man !
Pete-Have you seen Mike Flanangan around Warehouse lately ? Maybe that will give you topic for a rainy day .

Pete's reply: I'm going to guess that situation clears up in the next few weeks, now that John Angelos has the spring training thing pretty much out of the way.

I've met Bruce Campbell. I've talked with Bruce Campbell. I've been genially ribbed by Bruce Campbell. You sir, are no Bruce Campbell. Though I still think you're a stand up chap.
Of course, I've never met you in person Pete, so how would I really know? There is the slight chance that you look nothing like your picture and everything like a picture of Bruce Campbell.
PS - Has anyone ever told you that you look like 80's glam metal lady killer and Tiger Beat appearance maker Kip Winger?

I see alot of Barbara Bush in you Peter with some turtle urine. Does Rocco still have Steve Kline's signed shaver?

Pete's reply: I don't know. I'm still trying to get that image out of my head.

I don't know, Peter. That pic makes Campbell look like a bad case of indigestion.

Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?
I would say Pete looks more like that Screamer on MSNBC Chris Mathews!
Pete really hope your feeling better and getting around a little!
Have a great weekend.

Pete's reply: Not a bad call. One of my fondest media memories was appearing on Hardball with Jose Canseco and his lawyer.
