As promised, here is the way-overdue update...

I've been doing a day gig for ESPN for a few days, as a stand-in for a gameshow called, "Stump the Schwab". Basically, they take sports geeks from all over the world and they have to beat Howie Schwab, a man who knows more about sports than Steven Hawking knows about eletric wheelchairs.

Or astro-physics, for that matter.

I didn't have to do much besides stand/sit whereever they wanted me to, and occasioanlly read some stuff of a cue card. Actually, the whole thing was inspiring to be back in a studio, with the cameras on, and the craft service table full of food. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love gummy bears.

Conservative columnist/politician Pat Robertson got doused with salad dressing at a speaking event in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Isn't Kalamazoo a funny name?

Ted Kopell is officially leaving Nightline which means that ABC will be looking for and 11:30 host of some sort of talk show. Rumor has it that Ellen Degeneres is in the front running, but I'd like to start a rumor that I'm in a close second for the gig. Run with that rumor, folks. Run, run, run.

Speaking of rumors, I think Dick Vitale is a cocaine addict. But only during the Final Four.

Got a wedding tonight out in Long Island. I've decided not to stay at the hotel near the reception and instead drive back into the city. Yea, that's right, a wedding without drinking. A questionable decision, at best.

Ok, I must shower and shave, I look like Tom Hanks in "Castaway" and I just got into an aruement about the right to die with a volleyball.
