TOPIC 1: What’s baseball’s next crisis?
Leo Ebersole: Hemorrhoids.
Jimmy Greenfield: Bud Selig is suspended 50 days for stalking HRH.
Scott Kleinberg: The price of a hot dog is set to hit $16.95 in 2008.
Supriya Doshi: How tight is too tight for uniforms?
Phil Thompson: Human limb transplants. Some poor sap out there will be Mark Prior’s new arm.
TOPIC 2: What have you done only twice that could come back to haunt you?
Vodka lemonades and beef jerky.
All I’ll say is I have two kids. You figure it out.
Heh-heh. For printing purposes, using 12 packs of sugar in my large iced tea at Starbucks.
Rooted for Kyle Orton. It came back to haunt me Monday night.
I think I know what Leo’s answer would be, but I’m not sure he’s done it twice yet.
TOPIC 3: Kyle Orton is adorable when he …
… is photographed looking like post-Limoncello Danny DeVito.
… tries to play an NFL quarterback on TV.
Pretends he’s a pro quarterback.
… pretends to play QB. Oh, wait, he’s really playing?
… flops on the field like a toddler.
TOPIC 4: Are the Bulls relevant? Why or why not?
Everybody’s relevant in the East. They’ll be back in the playoff mix in a month or so.
Put it this way: The Blackhawks are more exciting this season.
Yep. As relevant as a traffic light in a town with no cars.
Of course. They remind us that the Cubs and Bears aren’t the only bad teams in town.
They are. They have to be, or we’ll have nothing left but … (shudder) … hockey!
TOPIC 5: What do you hope is the New England Patriots’ final regular-season record?
I hope they go 16-0! And put smiles on our faces! And give birth to a litter of puppies! (Yurp.)
15-1, with the loss coming to Miami. Hey, a guy can pray.
I hope it’s 7-9, but me thinks I’m a little too late for that.
19-0. Who said cheaters never win?
15 3/4 wins, 1/4 of a loss. Just to mess with Mr. Perfect Tom Brady’s head.
