THIS WEEK’S CHATTERHEADS
Lynda Lopez, Prosser
Marisa Carroll, Walter Payton
Zach Aries, Walter Payton
Rob Garcia, Chicago Ag
MODERATOR: It’s Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Arizona
Cardinals in the Super Bowl. Who wins and why?
Lynda: The Pittsburgh Steelers are made of steel. Can’t beat that. Except maybe Iron Man.
Marisa: In lieu of Chicago’s recent weather, I think it’s fair to say that Arizona always wins.
Zach: The Steelers. Experience: The Cardinals have never been in a Super Bowl, and the Steelers have won it five times.
Rob: Arizona. Because I just admitted that offense is the only thing people care for anymore.
MODERATOR: What’s the main difference between
SoxFest and the Cubs Convention?
Lynda: Hmm. This is much like the question about the difference between “Twilight” and “Harry Potter,” I never know how to answer.
Marisa: The same as the main difference between the Sox and the Cubs: Three years of waiting vs. 100 years of washouts.
Zach: People actually show up at the Cubs Convention.
Rob: Different levels of depression.
MODERATOR: Bartolo Colon returns to the White
Sox after last pitching for them in 2003. What has
changed since then?
Lynda: What hasn’t changed since then might be a better question. Hmm.
Marisa: Our governor, the ozone, the economy … Oh, do you mean athletic things?
Zach: Certainly not his weight.
Rob: I refuse to remember anything before 2005.
MODERATOR: What’s the last athletic thing you’ve
done lately?
Lynda: I did sprint over to the kitchen when I smelled what my mother had cooked. Mmm.
Marisa: I would consider navigating the slush-filled streets of Chicago an Olympic event in itself.
Zach: Caught pitchers on Thursday. Nothing like getting beaten up by tons of wild pitches.
Rob: Crawling out of bed this morning.
