The only case of college basketball tampering you could pin on these guys is trying to steal cable during March Madness.
TOPIC 1: GEORGE FOREMAN WILL BECOME A REALITY TV JUDGE. THOUGHTS?
Jimmy Greenfield: Do you mean George, or his son George, George, George or George?
Phillip Thompson: Perfect man to grill people.
Leo Ebersole: I assume the show is “Top Bacon Chef.”
Adam Caldarelli: None.
Strick Figure: I’ve heard about this thing called “reality,” and I don’t I like it’s tone, not one bit.
TOPIC 2: GIVE SOUTHERN ILLINOIS SOME ADVICE GOING INTO THE KANSAS GAME.
Jimmy Greenfield: When you lose to my Jayhawks, try not to cry.
Phillip Thompson: If things aren’t going well, play dead and they should stop attacking.
Leo Ebersole: Control the tempo. And, for a bit of a psychological boost, wear Bucknell jerseys.
Adam Caldarelli: Next year when you’re back to being a 12 seed, don’t complain about your hotel.
Strick Figure: There’s a new game called “Kansas”? Ooooh, does it use marbles?
TOPIC 3: WHO IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT SCARES YOU?
Jimmy Greenfield: My Jayhawks.
Phillip Thompson: Illinois athletic director Ron Guenther, whom I now call”Gun-Thar the Barbarian.”
Leo Ebersole: Billy Packer’s face. Curse you, high-definition TV.
Adam Caldarelli: Billy Packer.
Strick Figure: The tournament is just like the circus, only the big red shoes have “Nike” on them.
TOPIC 4: HAVE YOU HAD ILLEGAL CONTACT WITH KEVIN DURANT?
Jimmy Greenfield: No, but according to Gen. Pace, Leo has.
Phillip Thompson: Who hasn’t?
Leo Ebersole: Is handcuffing him to a seat and making him watch Washington Wizards highlights illegal?
Adam Caldarelli: Yes, but on advice from my counsel, I’m not supposed to talk about it.
Strick Figure: When I close my eyes, you all go away. How do you DO that?!?
TOPIC 5: WHO SHOULD THE BEARS GO AFTER NEXT?
Jimmy Greenfield: Lance Briggs. Resolve this like men, even though Briggs isn’t acting like one.
Phillip Thompson: Brett Favre, thus tearing the fabric of the universe.
Leo Ebersole: It’s time to bring a voice of reason into the locker room. It’s time to trade for Randy Moss.
Adam Caldarelli: Peyton Manning.
Strick Figure: Honey! Yay!
