About SMISLT

I, Rick, am your host and emcee for this weekly trip through life, which keeps providing us with an Infinite Number of Idiots. I will keep taking a skewed view of what they do and how it, in some zany way, enriches our lives.

How did I get the idea?

First you need to know I am true homer for Cleveland sports teams. Through their best and worst years, I followed the Indians, Browns and Cavs. Being forty years old now, I have closely followed my beloved teams for the last thirty-five years. I’ve laughed; I’ve cried; I’ve cried; I’ve cried…you get the picture.

Fast forward to 2006, when I started blogging and my two young children really started watching football games with me. Seeing how throwing the remote at the TV or using curse words during the games would set a bad example, I just started using the word “idiot” to describe the bad play. This turned into my wife and my mother having friendly bets about how many times I would say “idiot” during each game, which turned into converting my rants into blog posts about my beloved idiots.

Not satisfied with covering only the local sports idiots, I eventually blogged about the BCS system, the dominance of the SEC over Ohio State, and other not-quite-Cleveland-based-idiocy. The posts were well-received, and I had a good time doing them. I decided to take the idiot show on the road. But since I can’t be everywhere at once, I need your help.

Nominate away, and let’s enjoy all the useful idiots that are in the world!
