TOPIC 1: DO YOU LOOK AT BRIAN GRIESE ANY DIFFERENTLY?
He’ll always be the same QB to me — one who was, sadly, on the sidelines during Super Bowl XLI.
You feel his presence before he enters a room. Could be ’cause he’s mixing Axe and Old Spice.
Yes. In my mind he’s now the third-best starting QB in his division.
Griese’s got more game than Hugh Grant at a Hannah Montana concert.
You see the cover of Monday’s RedEye? I look at him a WHOLE lot differently.
TOPIC 2: USE YOUR EXPERIENCE AS A CHICAGO FAN TO CONSOLE INDIANS FANS.
Don’t get too upset. It’ll be worse the next time your hearts get broken.
It’s not nearly as bad as when John Elway beat your Browns in ’86. Feel better now?
As a converted Washington Nationals fan, I can do you one better: At least you got there.
That outcome was twisted like an Indian burn.
That’s OK, fall back on your NBA titles and Super Bowl trips. None of those, huh? Losers.
TOPIC 3: WHAT’S YOUR SLOGAN FOR A ROCKIES-RED SOX WORLD SERIES?
“The Red Sox — Four wins away from being the team America loves to hate.”
“The Mountain Men vs. the Cave Men.”
“High altitude vs. Manny Ramirez’s inflated head — tune in. Watch what happens.”
“Premature e-rockie-lation.”
In the name of Jordan, may the Rockies win to shut Boston the hell up.
TOPIC 4: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT RICK REILLY LEAVING SPORTS ILLUSTRATED FOR ESPN?
Get a little taste of free agency and loyalty goes out the window. What about the children?!?!
Between him and Skip Bayless, they’re collecting columnists who don’t use their inside voices.
I cringe as I picture him joining “Around the Horn.”
SwartzCenter is happy that we successfully courted slick Rick.
Let me get this straight. He’s moving from New York to Bristol, Conn.? Must not get out much.
TOPIC 5: ROBOTS PLAYED A SOCCER GAME IN TOKYO. WHAT’S NEXT?
Humans attending a soccer game in Chicago.
The David Beckham robot does a racy photo shoot for Wired magazine.
They’ll be programmed to flop and cry and look for a card.
The robots will take on fraternity brothers in the BroboCup. Hot botties!
The Spurs open their NBA season …
