Very interesting story, thanks for posting Husker.
Don't really know why Joe Buck stated that he crosses his arms "in tribute to his father" after the game. It it obvious that his father had an influence on him, but the influence was more on the mindset and the persistency that he approaches every game with.
I really do like Brian Wilson. His antics are extremely out there and sometimes over the top to the point where they aren't extremely humorous, but he fully recognizes that the personality he displays is an act. In reality, as partially evidenced by this article, he is an extremely intelligent man who works very hard at his job and is dedicated to being the best he can be for his teammates. Everything else he does is secondary

Good summary right there. He is an interesting, and complex individual.
Brian reminds me of "The Most Interesting Man in the World" Dos Equis commercials.

Wilson has said (more recently than the 3 year old blog entry) that it is in tribute to his father. Maybe both sets of reasons are true; maybe his reasons have changed; maybe there's the long version and the short version.
Or maybe it just means "LOOK AT ME!"
But that would be redundant to what the shoe polish beard is saying...
Which would be redundant to what the shoes are saying.

Wilson pays tribute to himself, no one else. He's GaGa with a beard, and more talent.
Whatever happened to letting your game do the talking?

FYI BRIAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN QUIRKY---HE ALSO JUST ESTABLISHED ASCHOLARSHIP FUND FOR KIDS OF MILITARY FOLK AND THE FOUNDATION BEARS HIS DADS NAME--BRIAN PLAYED FOR US DURING HIS HS DAYS THUS I KNOW A BIT ABOUT HIM--MY WIFE THINKS THE WORLD OF HIM
The game would not be as interesting without some of the "characters" playing in the Major Leagues and Brian Wilson is one of those, that's for sure!
