Hello folks, and welcome to the Weekend Five On Five. OMG! Is that Fantasy Phil?! Sign up at redeyechicago.com/fiveonfive.
TOPIC 1: COWBOYS WR TERRELL OWENS IS A BIG TALKER. TALK SOME TRASH WITH HIM.
Jimmy Greenfield: Kiss. Devin Hester’s. Ass.
Phil Thompson: You’re a natural born Cowboy. In my world, there’s no greater insult.
Leo Ebersole: Objectively speaking, Terrell, the art direction on your TD celebrations is slipping.
Supriya Doshi: My garbage could take your garbage.
Bag Boy: Taken any good pills lately?
TOPIC 2: WHAT WILL WE BE SAYING ABOUT THE BEARS ON MONDAY AFTER THE COWBOYS GAME?
Jimmy Greenfield: “1-2? Us?”
Phil Thompson: “So THAT’s what an NFC offense looks like.”
Leo Ebersole: “I never thought I’d see 15 turnovers in a single game.”
Supriya Doshi: “The Cowboys never stood a chance” — I hope.
Bag Boy: “Get out of town and the horse you rode in on. And that’s for Rex.”
TOPIC 3: PREDICTION TIME: WHO WILL BE THE HERO AND THE GOAT IN SUNDAY’S BEARS GAME?
Jimmy Greenfield: Hero: Devin Hester. Goat: Rex Grossman. Ibid.
Phil Thompson: If there’s a hero, it’s Devin Hester. And this town already has The Goat.
Leo Ebersole: Hero: Robbie Gould. Goat: Dallas O-line.
Supriya Doshi: Goat: Rex, of course. Hero: The rest of the team for fixing Rex’s mistakes.
Bag Boy: Hero: Charles Tillman. Goat: C’mon …
TOPIC 4: WHO IS THE CUBS’ MVP FOR THIS SEASON?
Jimmy Greenfield: Ted Lilly. Without him, the Cubs are the Sox.
Phil Thompson: Carlos Zambrano. I assumed you meant Most Volatile Pitcher.
Leo Ebersole: I think you have to give it to Lillzambriano.
Supriya Doshi: Sweet Lou — his game/ejection ratio was much better than expected.
Bag Boy: Lou Piniella. Dusty Baker would have mucked things up more than they already are.
TOPIC 5: WHAT’S GOING THROUGH THE MIND OF WHITE SOX PLAYERS AS THE SEASON ENDS?
Jimmy Greenfield: Do I really have to come back here next year?
Phil Thompson: Ozzie Guillen’s curse words of wisdom.
Leo Ebersole: “Relaxing golf outing to forget this season or memory implant surgery? Hmm …”
Supriya Doshi: “Ooh, another October vacation … Where should I go?”
Bag Boy: Zzzzzz.
