Some might say we have a Facebook only a mother could love. See for yourself at redeyechicago.com/facebookfives.
TOPIC 1: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CELTICS-LAKERS MOMENT FROM PAST NBA FINALS?
Tracy Swartz: The morning after.
Jimmy Greenfield: The time Gene Hackman hit the winning shot just as Rudy ran on the court.
Phillip Thompson: That one game when Magic Johnson smiled for 48 minutes without a break.
Brian Moore: When Magic Johnson got his finger tangled up in Larry Bird’s perm-mullet.
Bag Boy: When they left the court so I wouldn’t have to look at those short-shorts anymore.
TOPIC 2: IF THE NBA FINALS WERE A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THEY BE CALLED?
Tracy Swartz: “Murder, She Wrote: The Celtic Riddle.”
Jimmy Greenfield: “Alien vs. Predator”
Phillip Thompson: “Sex in the Opponent’s City.”
Brian Moore: “Superbad, a.k.a. The Modern NBA”
Bag Boy: “The Strangers.” It says Lakers vs. Celtics, but they sure don’t look like the L.A. and Boston I knew.
TOPIC 3: HOW WILL YOU HONOR BIG BROWN IF HE WINS THE TRIPLE CROWN?
Tracy Swartz: Three shots of Crown Royal. But the sound of shots may scare Big Brown.
Jimmy Greenfield: I’ll send all my friends a bushel of road apples.
Phillip Thompson: I will make an actual triple crown with a cane, a cape and platform horseshoes.
Brian Moore: I’ll lead a glue boycott, but only after Bag Boy makes some much-needed repairs to his bag.
Bag Boy: I’ll wait three days before I start poking fun at horse racing again.
TOPIC 4: WHAT IS YOUR TRIPLE CROWN ACHIEVEMENT?
Tracy Swartz: I’m going to triple bypass this question on advice of lawyers.
Jimmy Greenfield: Bourbon, hookers and penicillin.
Phillip Thompson: Does three-time loser count? Sigh.
Brian Moore: Tracy, Jimmy and Phil. I’ve managed to read all their answers and not laugh once.
Bag Boy: Enduring three years of bad White Sox baseball since their World Series win.
TOPIC 5: IF EVERYTHING’S BIGGER IN TEXAS, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR SATURDAY’S INDYCAR RACE?
Tracy Swartz: Danica will balloon, and she’ll no longer be the Lone Star.
Jimmy Greenfield: More people than ever will not care about it.
Phillip Thompson: For once I definitely will be watching Danica Patrick race.
Brian Moore: Helio Castroneves relives “Dancing With the Stars” by waltzing with everyone in attendance.
Bag Boy: The racecars are replaced with monster trucks.
