TODAY’S QUESTIONS
TOPIC 1: DID YOU EVER DOUBT BEN GORDON?
Jimmy Greenfield: Of course.
Phillip Thompson: I would never bet against him. But let’s say I did, hypothetically. Ben, could you loan me $500?
Leo Ebersole: I’ve said all along he’s the steadiest streaky scorer the Bulls have.
Mike North: I will never doubt him again! Is my nose growing?
Bag Boy: I did once. It was a Friday afternoon.
TOPIC 2: UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD YOU YANK REX GROSSMAN?
Jimmy Greenfield: Dinner and a movie would do it.
Phillip Thompson: One more bad half, and he’ll tap-dance out of there faster than you can say “Sandman Sims.”
Leo Ebersole: I’m going to defer to Jimmy and Phil here.
Mike North: Huh, when he plays bad.
Bag Boy: I’m sorry, but I refuse to use that word and “Griese” in the same sentence.
TOPIC 3: BEING KNEED IN THE GROIN IS LIKE …
Jimmy Greenfield: … watching the Blackhawks play.
Phillip Thompson: … a date with Serena Williams. If you play your cards right.
Leo Ebersole: … a cost-effective version of being a Blackhawks season-ticket owner.
Mike North: … being kicked in the nuts. Ouch.
Bag Boy: … losing two games in a row. SO DON’T LET IT HAPPEN, BEARS!
TOPIC 4: JOHN DALY IS DIVORCING WIFE NO. 4. WHO WOULD BE A GOOD MATCH FOR HIM?
Jimmy Greenfield: Pretty much any Wal-Mart clerk.
Phillip Thompson: Minnie Driver. Huh? Huh? C’mon, Minnie DRIVER. You people are no fun.
Leo Ebersole: Someone who parties and knows how to swing. What’s Bill Clinton up to tomorrow?
Mike North: Maybe it’s time to switch to men. How about an evangelist?
Bag Boy: Oprah. It just makes sense.
TOPIC 5: NOW THAT BARBARO’S HEALTHY, WHAT SHOULD HE DO NEXT?
Jimmy Greenfield: Offer some of his fermented urine to Borat.
Phillip Thompson: A New York cop show from the horse’s perspective. And it’s about time.
Leo Ebersole: Suit up for the Raiders. The sooner the better as far as they’re concerned.
Mike North: Doesn’t Lou Piniella need a bench coach?
Bag Boy: Well, if Oprah doesn’t work out …
