TOPIC 1: WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO GET TICKETS TO YOUR FAVORITE SPORTING EVENTS?
I refuse to pay fees. Personally, I have a problem with a company that calls itself “Ticketmaster.”
Join the cast of some crappy Fox sitcom. You’ll be at the World Series in no time.
Have friends in high places … and then beg them for tickets.
Sell your body or put your sister for rent.
StubHub, also known as Jimmy’s house.
TOPIC 2: WHAT’S BRIAN URLACHER DOING RIGHT NOW?
Firing his agent and calling the man who got $15.5 million out of the Bears for a kicker.
Transforming into The Incredible Sulk. … Oh, don’t roll your eyes at me.
What or who?
Plotting ways to alienate me forever.
Sending a message to the CTA by skipping the train. Way to fight the man, Brian!
TOPIC 3: JIM BOYLAN JOINED SCOTT SKILES IN MILWAUKEE. WHO ELSE NEEDS A FRESH START?
Hillary Clinton. I hear Bosnia’s a good place to start over.
Stuart Scott. And by “fresh start” I mean “exile.”
The Bulls.
Leo. At the very least he needs a fresh change of underwear.
The Bulls, the Sox. Any Chicago team that has a filthy start/mouth.
TOPIC 4: HOW DO YOU WELCOME A TEAMMATE WHO USED TO BE YOUR ARCHENEMY?
Just maintain an open (trap) door policy.
Do the mature thing. Put out a blow-up doll with a sign reading “We now embrace you.”
I’ll let Carlos Zambrano handle that.
A night out drinking nothing but Mind Erasers.
Makeup flex. Spend time together in the gym hoping it will all work out.
TOPIC 5: WHAT CAUSED TONY ROMO’S REPORTED BREAKUP WITH JESSICA SIMPSON?
Couldn’t agree on a wedding location. She wanted Dallas and he wanted The Heck Out Of Dodge.
You know that Esquire cover where she’s shaving her face? Yeah, that wasn’t faked.
The reported imbecile that is Jessica Simpson.
Whenever Jessica showed up in bed, Tony would lose.
Ozzie called her a doll, causing Tony and Jess to have a blow-up, er out.
