The "Offseason"

Like many highly trained athletes we sportscasters have an offseason. After six straight months of football and basketball it’s time to get outside and enjoy a potpourri of events.
This is how I found myself doing a Drake Relays story, talking to Rusty Wallace, and then interviewing Ted Lilly in one eight hour work day. Speaking of Rusty, he told me his team is being sponsored by 5 Hour Energy. I had to stifle a laugh because more energy is the LAST thing Rusty needs.

In other news, I’ve decided to get back into the gym. It’s only been about a month but I feel like a 90 year old, retired cage fighter. My joints are constantly on fire and I fear I may not be able to walk up the stairs if I do one more leg press. I figure with four months of hardcore training, five bottles of fake bake and a heavy duty sheep shears; I will finally be able to realize my dream of being a Pacific Ocean tank top model.
