Follow the yellow brick road…

Yesterday was… interesting. We get down to Jacksonville at 7:30 and end up not having a place to park and we thought we were going to have to pay $30 to park which.. huh…. not happening. Eventually we get a parking place and I get placed to be the producers “phone person” which basically what I ended up doing was answering the phone for the producer… they would call and say “So and so has an injured ankle and will be out the rest of the game”. I tell the producer, the producer tells the director who tells the broadcasters. I also wore this little headset and everytime there was an injured player, I would tell this guy (I think he was in NY) who it was and what team, or if there was a time out, I would tell who and what team. It was interesting and I felt like I had an important job role. (more…)

Holy crap, Stroud suspended!

Color me shocked. Jacksonville Jaguar Marcus Stroud, who I went to high school with, has been suspended for four weeks by the NFL for violation… basically, he took steriods after a surgery in the off season.

On top of that, Richard Collier (who plays for the Jags) who went to my college and played for the Blazers is suspended for driving under the influence after being found asleep at a McDonald’s drive-thru.

WTF are these boys thinking?!? Marcus!

(btw, that’s the Sports Illustrated cover that Marcus was on when we were in high school. I have an autographed copy lol)
