TOPIC 1: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF CUAUHTEMOC BLANCO’S DEBUT?
Let me repeat: I. Don’t. Follow. Soccer. EVER.
I’m speechless. That’s partly because not much of thealphabet’s left.
You’re asking the wrong panelto talk about a guy scoring inhis first chance.
By the end of next season, Becks will be eclipsed by Blancs, baby!
Ever play baseball, Blanky?
TOPIC 2: WITHOUT LOOKING IT UP, WHERE IS ARENABOWL XXI?
Cuauhtemoc, Wyoming.
Bag Boy gave me directions: Go to 100 miles south to East Bumble … hey!
Right next to the plungers and the toilet flanges at the Home Depot.
Indoors.
Might as well be on Plutowithout the Rush!
TOPIC 3: WHY HASN’T ROGER GOODELL SUSPENDED MICHAEL VICK?
Vick kidnapped his dog.
Don’t worry, he’s on a short leash.
Um, because of sheer terror?
‘Cause he only cares about strip club patrons, not dogs.
Maybe he plans to give him a slap on the wrist. Allow me.
TOPIC 4: ARE THE WHITE SOX AT A CROSSROADS?
Yep. They’re at the corner of Sad and Pathetic.
I’ll say. The White Sox are the Bone Thugs ‘N Disharmony.
They’re on more of anexpressway to hell.
Sure are. The kind where you sell your soul to the devil for a bullpen.
I sense the hand of fate.Nice guy.
TOPIC 5: DO YOU EVER GAMBLE ON SPORTS?
Only when it involves money.
No. If I ever feel like losingmoney, I’ll just buy a Sox ticket.
I learned it from watchingyou, Charles Barkley!
I gambled my future on a career in sports, so yeah.
Every time I make a callto our bullpen.
