These questions beg for answers

Font Size:

By Craig DeVrieze | Saturday, July 12, 2008 |

I’LL ask the questions.

You decide.

- If it’s Ozzie, Lovie and Vinny, shouldn’t it be Looey?

- Now then: Lou, or Looey, vs. Ozzie?

- Which is to say, sense vs. senselessness?

- Stone, or Stoney, vs. Santo?

- Which is to say ... Well, you know where this is going.

- Wrigley Field with its rats as big as pigs or the Cell with its shirtless, coach-beating fathers and sons?

- How dumb are the Bears if/when they bypass Kevin Jones, Ron Dayne or Lamont Jordan to ride Adrian Peterson and Garrett “The Invisible Running Back’’ Wolfe as backups to a rookie starter?

- Steve Yount wanted to leave the UT boys basketball job for Moline. Scott Harding left UT boys baseball job for Rock Island Alleman. What ever happened to Panther love?

- Since Tiger isn’t going to the British Open, how about he just comes and hangs around the Deere Run clubhouse next week?

- I mean, seriously, doesn’t he owe this tournament something?

- Vinny Del Negro and his zero coaching experience vs. Dan Panaggio and his five years as an NBA assistant, four years on college benches and 11 years as a minor league head coach with two championships and a 368-236 record?

- Ana Ivanovic vs. Maria Sharapova?

- And, if my wife asks, will you swear that last question was strictly about tennis skills?

- Danica Patrick vs. Ashley Force?

- Same deal.

- When the Cubs say there is no structural damage to Carlos Zambrano’s shoulder, does their, er, Prior history concern you?

- Felix Pie, Rich Hill and pick-a-pitcher for C.C. Sabathia?

- Like right now?

- Or, better yet, yesterday?

- But, seriously, it’s got to be Ivanovic, right?

- Chris Paul or Deron Williams? (Lose the Illini bias, Soebbing.)

- Paul “Celtic Pride’’ Pierce or Kobe “What Shaq Said’’ Bryant?

- I mean, seriously, no more Kobe-M-Jeff comparisons, right?

- If Tank Johnson could run guns, do time and almost keep his Bears job, what did Cedric Benson have to do to keep his?

- Run the football, maybe?

- If his ribs are right, how do you like Sean O’Hair for a second JDC crown?

- If not Sean-O, how about Woody?

- Or Boo?

- Ryuji?

- Bubba?

- John Daly: Missed cut? Or WD?

- Call or fold?

- Sleep or don’t?

- I mean, Daly’s actually a good guy, but is anyone more his own worst enemy than J.D.?

- Quad-City Times Bix 7: English or Swahili?

- Wasn’t that last one about the easiest question you’ve ever had to answer?
