My moment of glory
I think the wackiest thing ever is about to happen to me. Apparently I am going to be in the RedEye, the Tribune paper aimed at the hip under 30 crowd. I'll be a guest panelist in the "Five on Five," which is when they ask five people five questions about sports topics of the day. The panelists then attempt to give humorous responses, and occasionally they'll respond seriously just to throw everyone for a loop. Fridays are Fan Fridays, and so every week a fan gets to answer the questions. I'm going to be one of these fans. I'm already ratcheting up the snark. They're going to take my picture and everything. I'll have to find a way to sneak a plug for this web site in there, ha ha ha.
Now, it's possible the Trib is saying I'll get to be in it, and then I'll never hear from them again. Admittedly, this is what happens with jobs, girlfriends, and potential room mates, but I can deal.
Let's practice, shall we? Amazingly, I have no old Red Eyes chilling in the house, so I'll just have to answer the three questions that I can remember.
Now that he has been released, what is next for former Bears no. 1 draft pick David Terrell?
My lame-o response: Becomes lesser-known part in NFL Wheel of Fortune "Before & After" puzzle with Terrell Owens.
What is your prediction for the Fighting Illini basketball team?
My lame-o response: Both Dee Brown and Deron Williams propose to Jen, but she picks little-known Fred Nkemdi instead.
What do the 1,709 new bleachers in Wrigley Field really mean?
My lame-o response: 1,709 more people can toss beers at Barry Bonds.
Thanks, I'll be here all week.
