THIS WEEK’S CHATTERHEADS
Nikki Freihofer, Evanston Township
Matt Kovac, Plainfield North
Lee Pikelny, Lincoln Park
Erayna Wright, Jones
MODERATOR: Kiefer Sutherland wore a dress on “Letterman” because he lost a bet when the New England Patriots lost. What stunt would you be willing to bet on a team?
NIKKI: I’ve bet on the Bears to win by gambling a jump in cold Lake Michigan. I lost the bet.
MATT: I’d be willing to bet almost any stunt on the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series … mostly because it won’t happen.
LEE: I already had to wear Cubs gear after they won the overall series against the Sox a few years back. That was bad enough.
ERAYNA: Actually, I wouldn’t mind dressing like a dude.
MODERATOR: Speaking of teams, who should play for Team Conan, and why?
NIKKI: Win over somebody like Mike Tyson, and he’s good to go.
MATT: The Boston Red Sox, because Conan is in dire need of a miraculous victory.
LEE: All the networks that aren’t NBC. They’ll benefit from the low ratings Conan dishes out.
ERAYNA: Ummm, does it really matter?
MODERATOR: First Tiger, now Shaq. What will be the next scandal involving an athlete?
NIKKI: Anything involving marital affairs is the name of the game at the moment.
MATT: Mark McGwire will publicly admit to using steroids. … Oh, wait, that’s already happened.
LEE: I heard the Washington Wizards are looking for a new “hot shot.” Wait … Gilbert Arenas jokes were last week.
ERAYNA: LeBron James will most likely get dunked on in his own b-ball camp (again,) but will not take it lightly.
MODERATOR: The New York Knicks say they lost a game because their hotel was haunted. How would you help them with their ghost problem?
NIKKI: They need to recruit Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis.
MATT: Call Ghostbusters. Alternatively, they could just work on their offense.
LEE: I plan on pointing and laughing. I’m sorry, people yelling “BOO!” doesn’t mean it’s a ghost problem.
ERAYNA: Cast out those demons!
