THIS WEEK’S CHATTERHEADS
Allison Prang, Bartlett
Nikki Freihofer, Evanston
Jimmy Loomos, Maine South
Laura Nichols, Homewood-Flossmoor
MODERATOR: Make a New Year’s resolution for an athlete.
ALLISON: No adultery or steroids. Period.
NIKKI: Tiger Woods’ resolution: I vow to keep it in my pants.
JIMMY: For LeBron James: Take it easy on the rest of the NBA. You know, to keep things interesting and all.
LAURA: LeBron will try not to embarrass opposing teams too badly.
MODERATOR: Make a sports prediction for 2010.
ALLISON: The Cubs will win … consecutively.
NIKKI: Chicago’s major sports teams will once again disappoint. What a shocker.
JIMMY: Well, of course, everyone knows that the Cubs are going to win the World Series this year, or for sure the year after.
LAURA: Cubs = World Series champs. Hmm … maybe I’m just a dreamer.
MODERATOR: Seeing Northwestern in the NCAA Tournament would be like …
ALLISON: … watching pigs fly.
NIKKI: … the “Cool Runnings” of college basketball.
JIMMY: … seeing a pig fly. AMAZING! (Although swine flew, so you never know.)
LAURA: … seeing Jay Cutler make it through a game with no interceptions.
MODERATOR: Alabama has “Roll Tide.” Texas has “Hook `em Horns.” Make up your own slogan.
ALLISON: “Trick ’em Tigers” for Mizzou.
NIKKI: Northwestern could pull a “Claw ’em, Cats!”
JIMMY: “Killer ‘Cats” for Arizona, Northwestern, Kentucky or one of the 100 Wildcat teams.
LAURA: “Grow, Laura, grow.” 🙂
