nice job Rich!
I particularly like your comments in part 2 regarding the OL and Norv’s playoff wins. I was disappointed, though, that Acee didn’t get a full answer from you about whether or not the Broncos are for real.
Also, what was going on at the end after the video came back from the BFTB pimp? You were chuckling and Acee was saying “nice… nice…”

I think they’re “for real” in that they’re much better than we gave them credit for at the start of the season. Mike Nolan is a magician. There are only three games on the rest of their schedule that I really expect them to lose: @SD, @BAL & @IND. NE, PIT, SD & NYG are also games they could lose, but I think they have a good shot at winning them.

So good to see Acee come out of the closet

I like when you laugh at Acee when he brings up Johnson.

He is obviously reading the BFTB. Or at least he did his homework before the interview.

Yeah
The only reason it was at all noticeable is because Acee is on camera every day and the other guy does a professional radio show. You did a damn good job though. I would’ve vomited on camera.
Quick question: Was the table round?

Nice town, Eugene.
Could totally live there, but it gets too hot in the summer and rains too much otherwise. I like it here, where the air conditioning just gets tacked onto the rent, and follows you wherever you go.

Strange
My best friend went to UO and is from North County. If this is you and you’ve been pretending all of these years to not like sports, I’m gonna be really pissed.
I also made friends with another kid from UO who was on the basketball team and wrestled bears in his free time. That’s not a joke at all.
