I almost posted earlier in the week that i was going to be on the local news. I'm glad i didn't. On Monday the local sports guy was on tha air and asked for any central ohio Cardinals to get in touch with him. There are a ton of steeler fans but, as you can expect, i may be the only true Cardinals fans. Anyway, i sent him an e-mail and he responded within the hour asking for a contact number to get together later in the week. I did and we met, talked about how i became a Cards fan, the game,and all kinds of stuff. I was supposed to be on the telecast last night. So i tell some friends to watch and the sports portion of the show comes on. Instead of my small interview, i was replaced by a segment of a monkey picking the winner of the game :sad: :lol: :shrug:. You can imagine the abuse i have gotten. Oh well, maybe they saw my ugly mug and said let's go with the monkey. The good thing is at least the monkey picked the Cardinals to win.

Nope,i'm not going to make it. A couple thing happened that were out of my control the last few days and it kind of turned into a fiasco and i couldn't make it. I had a line on a couple tickets for a decent price but things aren't going to work out. I'll be there in spirit though.

Are you freakin kiddin me. They need to be beaten down hardcore. WTF kind of sick **** is that. That made me sick to my stomach to read that. They don't deserve to broadcast on TV. When the Cards win the game we need to find that ******** and rub his or her face into the ground!!!!!

I've been contacted a few times and interviewed twice. (Made it onto the Portland Oregonian/not too sure I made the Allentown, PA Call).

You have to understand that, with the media - "space and time" are finite - once you fill up the pages and the 60-seconds of the alotted time byte, there's no more.

So what you get is a bunch of producers and assistant producers running around lining up more interviews than they can use (lest they come back empty-handed and end up fired). But it also often means they have more interview-content than they have space and wind up cutting as much material as actually gets aired.

I approach every potential interview as a pleasant possibility, but don't get my hopes up too high

I love monkeys and feel that the majority of men like 2 absolutes... Monkeys and pirates. Both stem envy of those two lifestyles.

There are a ton of Stealers fans of course in Eastern Ohio.

You have you're share of course in Central and even Southern Ohio.

What you don't know are the number of Stealer haters in Ohio.....Browns and Bengal fans.......many have come up to me and said.....we're not Cardinal fans but we hate the Stealers.....you'd be surprised by the numbers.
