Yogi Patel, Maine East
Chris Betts, King
MODERATOR: Kobe Bryant became the youngest NBA player to score 25,000 points. What will you be the youngest to do?
LYNDA: I will be the youngest person not to be adopted by Angelina Jolie.
LEE: At 3:12 a.m. Nov. 15., I became the youngest 17-year-old to reach 18. It wasn’t for long, but next year I’ll be the youngest 18-year-old to become 19!
YOGI: I’m going to be the youngest person to ever win the lottery. I hope.
CHRIS: Consume the most ice cream in the winter time and also the youngest journalist for the Chicago Tribune, hopefully.
MODERATOR: A pair of Russian ice dancers caught flak for dressing like Australian Aborigines. What is your idea for a controversial ice dancing routine?
LYNDA: Hillary Clinton vs. Monica Lewinsky on ice: Hillary won the man, but can Monica win the throne on ice? Let the battle begin!
LEE: The Stanky Skate. Hard to believe there could be anything worse than the Stanky Leg, but hey.
YOGI: One on concrete?
CHRIS: 9/11 on Ice. … Yikes!
MODERATOR: Which is better, the Pro Bowl or the NBA All-Star Game, and why?
LYNDA: The NBA All-Star Game just sounds more exciting. Pro Bowl sounds like a cheap brand of cereal.
LEE: I think both of them are great! They let me do something else. … Something that has a point to it.
YOGI: After seeing Superman take flight at the NBA slam dunk contest, I’d have to say All-Star Game >Pro Bowl.
CHRIS: The Pro Bowl. There seem to be more undoubtedly fantastic football players than basketball players these days.
MODERATOR: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson going from pro wrestler to Tooth Fairy is like …
LYNDA: … when Michael Jordan decided to play baseball. Stick to your specialties, people.
LEE: … going from pro wrestler to football player who joins a little-girl ballet performance. At least The Rock didn’t do anything like that. Oh, wait …
YOGI: … Tim Allen getting arrested for DUI after a night of partying to driving a sled as Santa Claus.
CHRIS: … Venus and Serena Williams going on “One Life to Live.”
