In an attempt to at least do something remotely productive in my mixed/manic phase of my bi-polar II this a.m., I decided to go on a quest to discover the meaning and origin of the title "sportswami" -- having at one time been noted to one and all as a "sportswami wannabe".

A quick "google" reveals no easy answers. But, I did discover that this was/is a "handle" on AdultDVDTalk where some XPT posters [or those using the same IDs] have also posted [eg., Cleetus VanDamme, Dean Wormer].

So was this a poster here or elsewhere who committed suicide OR was so irritating that you only WISHED s/he would OR is there an entire other explanation?
