What do Windy and Karl Gerbschmidt have in common?

[GullGuide]

Ok, Lets hear your comparisons!!!

Here's one to start it off-

They both believe that their teams are THE best in all of sports.

I have so many others but I'll save them for the rest of you

[Hooked On a Feeling]

Karl is plain stupid... Windy has a "tad" bit of foolish pride!... Just a "tad"!

Hooked

Milwaukee's Best is their main source of nutrition.

well just like every monday after a packer loss, you know kfan always gets the voice mail and not crazy karl, but if the packers win, whole nother story

every day after a white sox loss, you wont hear any wise a$$ comments from windy until the sox dont lose or he can throw out some useless stat in an attempt to make the twins look bad.

[Down to Earth]

Maybe both are really Dan Barrero's alter made up egos. Every time Gerbschmidt is on I have a hard time driving straight from laughing so hard.

[GullGuide]

It's funny you say that.

Every time I read one of Windy's posts, all I hear is Gerbschmidts annoying voice in my head.

Try reading Windy and thinking Karl at the same time. It's pretty scarry how well they go together.

ok this is probably the stupid question of the day, but who does the carl gerbschmidt bit. I have heard everything to some who actually think he is real, to all sorts of people doing his voice.

I dont live in the cities anymore, but he used to make some long miserable commutes worth while. I have always wondered who he is fact or fiction lol.

Yes his voice is very annoying, kind of like windy.

rundrave,

Here is some feedback I got when I posed the question a while back in the football forum.

Has to be Dan's buddy, Kevin Siefert, sp??

Sportswriter, that I believe is based out of Chicago, I could be wrong. Sometimes when Dan interviews him he gets excited and sounds like Gerbschmitt.

This is my guess. It is a great fictional bit.

Last years post playoff loss, when they called Carl was great, he was hyperventilating and yelling meaningless stuff.

The birth of Carl's nephew.

"I have a new nephew Dan." Carl

"Oh yeah, what's his name?" Dan

"Ahman." Carl

"Ahman Gerbschmitt?" Dan

"Could't see that one coming." Mr. Fun

I don't think it's Seifert ... I could be convinced that it's Common Man Dan Cole though, and I've heard a few others indicate that as well.

[SledNeck]

Well, one is a Minnesota forum groupie/troller.

[8-Ball]

Its Common Man...

[lots of luck]

Siefert, it has to be him, listen to him in an interview. I have listened to common's show for 3.5 years and I am not hearing it. No way...

[pikehunter]

I'll agree that Seifert sounds very much like Carl, but I have a hard time believing that he, or his bosses at the Star Tribune, would find it journalisticly ethical for him to mock Packers fans when he covers the Vikings. I also wouldn't think Star Trib powers-that-be would allow him to alienate the Packers portion of the readership. On voice alone though, I would agree.

I had never thought of Common before about three months ago when I heard him doing an imitation of someone and it sounded a great deal like Gerbschmidt. I could be very wrong though.

I went to high school with Jeff Dubay and lived across the street from him in high school (Hopkins) and unless he's pulling my leg it's COMMON MAN... that should help out eh?
