TOPIC 1: REVEAL THE BULLS’ SECRET BEHIND GETTING THE NO. 1 PICK.
Jerry Krause’s lucky pennies are buried somewhere in Secaucus, N.J.
They secretly switched the NBA’s computers with Florida voting equipment.
Playing bad the whole season, it was all a conspiracy to begin with. That or some voodoo magic.
It’s an error. No Piick. No Piiiiiiiiiiiiick.
The secret was playing hard
1.7 percent of the time last year.
TOPIC 2: ONLY THE FRANCHISE’S FUTURE RIDES ON THIS PICK. GIVE JOHN PAXSON SOME ADVICE.
Like George Costanza, do the opposite of what you’re thinking.
Michael Beasley: The Elton Brand Chicago won’t be dumb enough to trade away.
Get a good coach who will recruit good players, or invite me to try out!
The Bulls will defend themselves and all those Pickers out there who’ve been caught.
When courting a woman, hold open the door for her. She’ll really appreciate it.
TOPIC 3: GIVE ONE REASON FOR OR AGAINST LENGTHENING THE NFL SEASON.
One? Just one?
Reason against: My couch would seriously have to consider a restraining order for my ass.
Against. They take up too much spotlight — let the rest of us get a piece.
Lengthen it. The Bears could use an extended fantasy period.
One fewer game will increase the amount of time players can see their parole officers.
TOPIC 4: WHO IS HUMPY WHEELER?
Original member of Digital Underground. Was replaced by Humpty Hump over musical differences.
The second-most frustrated dog in the world behind Snaggletooth Plastic-Cone-Around-Head.
That’s the scary monster in my closet.
Humpy played for the Gamecocks and then became known for starting motors.
My college nickname. Unfortunately, it was used ironically.
TOPIC 5: A NEW COOKING REALITY SHOW COULD STAR COWBOYS. WHAT DO ATHLETES KNOW ABOUT COOKING?
Michael Irvin could show a thing or two about cooking rock.
They’re more into baking. Be sure to tell ’em you have a bun in the oven and see how they react.
Are you serious? I can throw down in the kitchen — I need my own cooking show!!
Baseball players know a thing or two about getting grilled.
They know that, quite often, food is used in cooking.
