First-Name Basis, Single No. 2: Jock Jams

It was a winding road from our #FirstNameBasis finale to our favorite jock jams, but we hope y'all ARE ready for this contemplation of sporty hype tracks -- as well as county fairs, Snuffy Smith, Yankee Stadium's unpredictable PA loyalties, which song is the ur-JJ, the apparent international exchange program at work in early JJ albums, early-'90s rappers who are both ignorant of and apathetic towards decent flow, NKOTB's "hard" period, and Gary Glitter in purgatory. Strike it up, Cotton-Eye Joes!
