Talk about some weird and funny news!  Last weekend, the leader of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and announcer for Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, Dicky Barrett went over to the house of his friend Bill Simmons (ESPN’s The Sports Guy) to watch NFL football.  At some point the police were called by a neighbor and seven armed officers showed up at the house.  The reason?  Apparently the neighbor had thought that Simmons was out of town and witnessed tough, tattooed, menacing figures enter the home, presumably to rob the place.  When the police arrived, they found four guys sitting in the living room watching football.
