Patrick: Hey, all. Welcome to this week’s edition of SportsWise! We wanted to do something different, so I call this session Twenty Questions. Whichever one of y’all wins during the 1st 18 questions— Russ: So six questions apiece? Patrick: Yep. That person gets to ask the next two questions about anything. John: Okay, so this doesn’t sound too bad—I’m in. Don: Let’s do it. Patrick: Russ, what did you think about the NBA Finals? Russ: Real simple: I enjoyed the Finals. Patrick: Okay. John, so what do you feel about the NFC East? John: Bums. Philadelphia Eagles—2-4, Washington Redskins—2-5, Dallas Cowboys—2-5, and the New York Giants at 1-6. Pure bums. Patrick: John, if possible, will you tell us how you truly feel? John: Bums. Philadelphia
Eagles—2-4, Washington—2-5, Dallas Cowboys—2-5, and the New York Giants at 1-6. Pure bums. Russ: John, you silly, man. Patrick: Don, I know you had the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals, and, now, you you had it right with the L.A. Dodgers taking the World Series—seeing any pattern? Don: Well, my friend, apparently, the land out west is ripe with good vibes, because, to me, it appears the teams out there in L.A. are stimulated and ready to go. This just might be the year of Los Angeles. Patrick: Sounds right. Not that I’m biased or anything toward L.A. teams—well, except one…but that’s only because whether I’m biased or not, these guys will win. The Lakers are It…and, in my opinion, will remain It. Russ: Just had to get your stinkin’ Lakers in!
questions
Patrick: All right, all right… so, John, I’m curious about your mention of the NFC East: So, which of those teams in that division do you feel will escape the abyss of doom that the division is shaping up to be? John: Well, initially, I was with the Dallas Cowboys, but, now, with Dak [Prescott] out for the season—and possibly longer—I can’t go with the Cowboys. Patrick: So, who do you have? John: Today, I’m going with the Washington Football Team—yes, I’ve said their true, new name, dangit! But, yeah, I believe Washington is way better than they’re showing. Patrick: Okay, I might feel you with that…even though I really want Dallas to pull off a miracle season—at least get to the playoffs…with or without Dak Prescott at the helm. Don: Man, you’re crazy. Ain’t no need to even put your vibe
into something like that…because you know as well as I do that Dallas wasn’t gonna do it with Dak, and they damn sure won’t do it without the brotha! Patrick: Okay, you got me a lil’bit. Yet and still, it can happen. Don: Right. Patrick: Russ, what’re you thinking about the NFL in general? Russ: Definitely enjoying it. I really hope we make it through the entire season, including the Super Bowl. Patrick: All right, fellas. I have to come clean: There is no “winner” to this. I just wanted to get the best out of y’all—not that I needed it… but it was fun. Any comments or suggestions? Email pedwards@streetwise.org
