[edit] Beverly Sportsinterviews
Beverly "Bev" Sportsinterviews is the second-most-frequently cited Sportsinterviews author. Her name is a parody of children's author Beverly Cleary, and her books similarly seem to be targeted at chapter-book readers. Many of her books have recieved literary awards: The "Some Award" (Ewww, Claire!! Why??? and Laramie, Why?), the "Gold Circle" ("Cat," spoke Anne, "Wash!"), and the "Round Award" (Problem Brian and Scar, Let Moe!).
Beverly collaborated with Lem Sportsinterviews on Laramie, Why?. Apart from sharing their surname, their exact relationship is not specified — in a 2007 interview, The Brothers Chaps suggest that she is married to Lem or has since divorced him.
Beverly is credited as the writer for Stinkoman and the Challenge of the Crystal Shards as "Beverly Sportsinterviews-Chimendez", suggesting that she may have married fellow television writer A. Chimendez. This also implies that Beverly is a relative of Lem as opposed to an ex-wife, as the practice of hyphenating a last name is far more commonly used to retain a familial surname than a surname from a previous marriage.
