You’re 6 foot nothin’, 100 and nothin’, and you have barely a speck of athletic ability. And you hung in there with the best college basketball players in the land for four years. And you’re gonna walk outta here with a degree from Brigham Young University. In this life, you don’t have to prove nothin’ [...]

Way out west there was this fella… fella I wanna tell ya about. Fella by the name of Jim Fredette. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. Mr. Fredette, he called himself “Jimmer”. Now, “Jimmer” – that’s a name no one would [...]

Who is Jimmer Fredette? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real.

Of course our goal here at NoPepper is to drop knowledge of America’s pastime. That and La Russa DUI jokes.
