2007 Logs

You never know what's going to be on Steve's mind until you read his latest blog entry.

See how the other half lives. Blast off to the fertile matriarchy of Janet's Planet.

See what Steve and the gang are up to, on and off the air by perusing our extensive and searchable Photo Galleries.


		Friday, September 14, 2007



2:00	Stan has a receipt for a slave for $3,000. Even now that's a lot of money. The person isn't related to Stan though.
2:01	Stan's aunt is an antiques dealer and she found it in Mississippi at a place that was getting rid of old records. You'd think they would have gotten rid of those a long time ago.
2:02	Steve did have a guitar signed by Les Paul but he got rid of it. It was red marker on a brown guitar so you couldn't even read it.
2:03	Stan was there when that went down and he thought someone took a picture of Les signing the guitar. Steve gave it to a guitar store and they sold it on consignment.
2:04	Steve was getting his TiVo ready for the OJ Simpson press conference. Is he really going to speak.
2:05	The latest on OJ is that he's allegedly involved with some guys who busted into a hotel room in Las Vegas.
2:06	Before the show Steve had a photo shoot with Garry for this charity thing they're doing. They were talking about D-list celebrities and Steve said he shouldn't have to share the bill with other D-list celebrities. He's a C-list celebrity.
2:07	Steve mentioned that Amy Jacobson was our OJ and then the photographer asked if she had broken into a hotel room to steal sports memorabilia. Steve thought that was a weird reference to break the glass in the hotel room.
2:08	Investigators have named OJ as a suspect in the theft of some sports memorabilia. He killed two people so allegedly stealing sports memorabilia is nothing.
2:09	Stan and Terry have some great audio of OJ on a radio call-in show. Two different people are hassling him but it's not really a big deal to him since he poker-faced his way through an entire trial.
2:10	OJ told AP that an auction house owner called to inform him that some collectors had a bunch of his stuff and didn't want anyone to know they were selling it.
2:11	OJ was going to be in Vegas for a friend's wedding so he decided to meet with the auction house owner and conduct a sting operation. It's good to know OJ's still being invited to people's weddings. You gotta invite Juice! Just keep him away from the wedding cake.
2:12	Steve did not know OJ's book game out yesterday. This whole thing couldn't work out better for the Goldman's.
2:13	Maybe OJ does care. He wanted to do something to get himself in the press for Fred Goldman.
2:14	The Goldman's have retitled the book If I Did It: The Confessions of the Killer. They should have called it If I Did It, Which I Did.
2:15	When Steve was a kid his aunt worked for American Airlines. She got him a ball from the first Super Bowl.
2:16	At the time sports memorabilia wasn't very high tech. Steve also didn't know that The Duke was the name of the ball they actually used in games.
2:17	No one in Steve's family knew what it was really worth so they didn't stop him and his friends from playing with it in the backyard.
2:18	Steve doesn't even want to think about what that could be worth today.
2:19	Caller Bill wanted to let Steve know that the cover of the book says "I Did It" in really big letters on a black cover and then "If" in very small letters.
2:20	CNN is going live to the press conference right now, although someone is talking over it. What happened to CNN?
2:23	On CNN they're showing the guy doing the press conference on one side and OJ's verdict being read in the other one.
2:25	Maybe those sports memorabilia collectors have Steve's Super Bowl football too.
2:28	Alright, armed robbery. That'll get you back on the front page. What kind of sting operation includes an armed robbery?
2:33	First we welcome back Buzz Kilman. We'll talk more about him and his kidney stones and his home surgery but first let's say hi to Frank Caliendo.
2:34	Frank's tired, he's been here since 5:00 AM. Didn't anyone tell him the show started at 2:00 PM? Steve's very big on all the pre-interview stuff. Make sure to stick to the talking points and the formula.
2:35	Frank got in early this morning and then he's probably been on every TV and radio show in the city.
2:36	Frank was in Vegas on Wednesday doing a video game thing. Was he also committing armed robbery with OJ? Then Frank had to go back to LA because his new TV show has begun writing.
2:37	Frank has a new TV show on TBS. It's going to be a sketch comedy show and he wanted to call it Chappelle's Show but the lawyers said no. I'm John Madden bitch!
2:38	Frank can't remember if he was on a Charles Barkley kick the last time he was on the show. Mainly he focused on the way Charles says "terrible". He says "turrible".
2:39	Charles will also pretend that he likes someone at the beginning of a sentence but at the end he's ripping on them. On that NBA show he's totally doing his own thing. He never talks about what they're supposed to be talking about.
2:40	Frank has become a much bigger part of the Fox NFL show on Sundays. Another one of the guys on there is Chris Meyers. No one really knows him but Frank still does an impersonation.
2:41	Chris is the guy during NASCAR races who's always in the trailer explaining what's going on.
2:42	Before we go any further Steve should mention that Frank will be at the Paramount Theater in Aurora tonight. There are some tickets available.
2:47	Was Frank in radio? Because he seems to have a working knowledge of the industry.
2:48	Frank went to school for broadcast journalism because he wanted to be a sports anchor or something. As a kid he did a few impersonations but he didn't know he'd turn out to be such a freak.
2:49	People always tell Frank he should do a radio show but he feels that he's only good in small doses. Does anyone want to hear the John Madden impersonation for an entire show?
2:50	People also told Frank he should do a sitcom but then he wouldn't be able to do any of the impersonations. What they do in Hollywood is take your talents and force them into the show you're doing.
2:51	Before Everybody Loves Raymond Brad Garrett had a show called First Impressions because he used to do impressions.
2:52	It sounds like a sketch comedy show is the perfect thing for Frank though. One of the skits is online but it doesn't have all the production values.
2:53	Frank and the showrunners were sitting around coming up with ideas and they wanted to do a Seinfeld skit. They had to figure out a way to make all of them fat so Frank wouldn't have to go to a trainer.
2:54	So they decided to do Seinfeld many years from now and Jerry loses his hover shoes and it turns out Kramer lost them in a poker game. Frank plays all the parts.
2:55	Frank's show premieres this Fall on TBS. The main networks start up in September but the cable networks will hold off a little longer. Frank's show starts up in November.
2:56	On the Thursday before Thanksgiving Frank is taping a special in Vegas which will air the very next day. Then the following Tuesday the first episode airs.
2:57	Also that week Frank will be on Letterman as himself. Normally he just shows up as Madden.
3:04	Frank will be on Fox NFL Sunday this weekend. It's already in the can as they say.
3:05	Steve overcorrected the heat in the studio and now it's really hot. He was shivering and then he turned it up. When he came back from the bathroom he realized it was too hot.
3:06	The heat even has that heat smell, it's like winter time. Steve has it back where it should be though.
3:07	How many stories has Frank started and not finished so far? Steve and Buzz do that all day, that's radio.
3:08	Frank is on a lot of radio shows, usually as John Madden. He has an ISDN line in his house so it sounds like he's in the studio. No one ever cheats and say he's really there but no one ever says he's not there either.
3:09	Usually most people know it's not really John Madden although you'd be surprised at how many people don't figure it out until about halfway through.
3:10	Usually people realize it's not Madden when Frank doesn't know the answer to something that John would.
3:11	Frank also once scared Aikman pretty well, he thought he was talking to Madden and had to check with someone to make sure.
3:12	Madden doesn't really like Frank now that he's been doing the impression for a while.
3:13	Frank appears at the Sugar Bowl every year and they always want him to do impressions of the coaches. He really doesn't think that's what the coaches need right before that big game. It'll probably undermine what they're saying in the huddle.
3:14	Frank also does a lot of corporate gigs where people always want him to do impersonations of their boss. The employees always say the boss will get a kick out of it, but when Frank asks them to tell the boss what he's doing they say they can't. So he's going to get paid to do this and then someone's probably going to be fired.
3:15	Plus, he can't really spend that much time with a boss to get the impersonation down correctly. If he were a huge celebrity, like Jay Leno, it wouldn't matter. The boss would be happy that someone like that would be talking about him.
3:16	Someone's on hold about a song Frank did about Bret Favre that they saw on TV this morning.
3:17	The song has actually be played on Fox several times already. Someone even suggested releasing it as a single.
3:30	That Frank Caliendo is funny. He's so funny that Steve loses his place when he's talking.
3:31	Steve told Frank he could come back on to plug his show when he premieres. He'd never have the idea to have Frank on to do George Bush but we could bring him up on the ISDN line.
3:32	When Frank got in he said there were only about 100 tickets left for the show tonight. They're probably all sold out by now.
3:33	Steve would like to get into the saga of Buzz Kilman and the Kidney Stones. He brought some items for show and tell. Will it have to be disposed of properly as medical waste?
3:38	Steve last saw Buzz at Bandito Barney's, knocking back some appetizers. We heard on Monday that Buzz had to go to the hospital on Sunday.
3:39	Quite honestly it's all a blur to Buzz. He was on heavy medication and when something like this happens Buzz exists on a cellular level. All he cares about is the laws of nature and how he'll get through it.
3:40	You wouldn't be able to tell that though because the channels of communication were so wide open between here and the Kilman household. Aimee had no idea what was going on.
3:41	Luckily Steve can piece together a timeline from the emails he got from Aimee. The first one came Sunday morning after Buzz had gone into the hospital. Was that before or after the beignets?
3:42	Buzz was in unbearable pain on Sunday morning so there wasn't even time for beignets. Did he go into the whole child birth thing?
3:43	Buzz was in a lot of pain when he got to the hospital. As it turns out the kidney stone was 7 millimeters and not 6. Steve would imagine that even a millimeter makes a different down there. At 5 mm you can pass it at home, at 6 it's up to you but at 7 they bring you in.
3:44	Buzz had three shots of morphine and he was still in a lot of pain. It starts at a dull ache that turns into a constant, stabbing pain.
3:45	It was at that point that Buzz questioned how Northwestern Hospital was unable to stop a little pain. The doctors were afraid he'd overdose on morphine.
3:46	So Buzz issued a challenge to his doctors. He's laying in this huge hospital and the first thing his doctor says is he'll stop the pain. The finally gave him a type of Ibuprofen and he was good to go.
3:47	The next email came Sunday night from Aimee. All she knew was that they'd be operating on Buzz at some point but that's it. There really wasn't much else to know.
3:48	The next day they went in and did whatever they had to do. Buzz didn't bother asking and he was out for the surgery. He wasn't naked in a bath tub so it wasn't ultrasonic.
3:49	They didn't cut into Buzz, they went up and in and put in a stent which allows for stuff to flow freely. There's no way to stop it either.
3:50	The next email came at 5:22 PM on Monday, right after Buzz had gone up for the procedure. He wasn't able to eat from midnight until after the operation.
3:51	Buzz woke up late Monday and couldn't help notice he had 4 or 5 inches of string hanging out of him. That was supposed to stay in until Sunday. That's when Steve told Buzz to strap on a diaper.
3:52	Buzz was home late Monday night and spent the next 3 days waiting for the stent to come out.
3:53	On Tuesday Buzz sent out an email to Steve saying that he was home but bad stuff was happening in the name of recovering and he was on narcotics. He's like Hunter S. Thompson.
3:54	Buzz called his doctor on Wednesday and his assistant informed him that the doctor would not be in on Thursday. Buzz needed this stent removed so he could get back to work.
3:55	Buzz's doctor did tell him that he could remove the stent himself but that a lot of people were too squeamish to do it.
3:59	So it's Wednesday night and Buzz has just learned that the doctor will not be in the next day to remove Buzz's stent on a string.
4:00	Buzz decided that on Thursday morning he would remove the stent himself. Would Buzz like to hear the rest of the emails?
4:01	Buzz spent Wednesday evening trying not to think about the stent, but there it is on a string. It seems wrong to put it on a string for that very reason. Even Steve would pull on it.
4:02	Aimee made pulled pork for dinner on Wednesday, perhaps working on some sort of subliminal level.
4:03	Aimee goes to bed a lot earlier than Buzz so she asked what he was going to do. He had decided to pull the stent out which she was glad to hear because she didn't want to do it.
4:04	Buzz spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure out where to sit when pulling the stent out. He settled on his favorite chair, nude, in the back room. He was going to put on a movie and sit there, maybe absent-mindedly pulling it out. Was Buzz high at this point?
4:05	Buzz realized that in addition to the stent, other stuff might come out, ruining his favorite chair.
4:06	Buzz then thought about the bath tub but that is a harsh environment so he ultimately decided to do it on the toilet.
4:07	So Buzz began pulling very slowly and he could feel something in his stomach. It didn't hurt though.
4:08	Buzz kept going and after a while he'd finally pulled out the entire thing, about 4 or 5 feet. He also brought it in with him for Steve to see.
4:09	Buzz felt pretty good about doing this himself. It didn't really hurt but it was creepy and he wouldn't want to do it again.
4:10	About an hour later, Buzz started feeling that dull ache in his back again which was the kidney stones. Then a little later it was the full stabbing pain and Buzz knew he had to go to the emergency room.
4:11	So Buzz woke Aimee up and told her he was going to hail a cab and go to the hospital.
4:12	As Buzz was checking in he felt a shift and he knew that the pain would go away. But he was there so he figured he'd just check in and stay there.
4:13	The last email Steve got was a response to an email sent at 7:00 on Thursday morning. Mary was trying to figure out if Buzz was coming in but they didn't know yet that Aimee had called Drew and told him what happened.
4:14	Drew blows everything out of proportion so Steve was imagining self-mutilation on the part of Buzz. He figured Buzz would have to go to Switzerland to get his thing worked on.
4:15	Steve decided he didn't want to know how bad Buzz was mutilated. Someone called the hospital on Thursday but Buzz had been released. Drew was still walking around talking about self-mutilation.
4:16	Steve was imagining some sort of crazy blood-letting involving a harmonica and a bottle of tequila.
4:17	The biggest mistake was having Aimee called Drew because he blew everything out of proportion. By the time it got to Steve the story was that crazed Buzz had harmed himself in some irretrievable way and that we'd never see the guy who left Bandito Barney's last Friday.
4:18	Steve didn't even know Buzz had taken a cab by himself to the hospital. That would have changed the whole thing. He was imagining Aimee waking up in the middle of the night to find Buzz slumped over in the foyer, blood everywhere, like a scene from Silence of the Lambs.
4:19	To Drew taking a cab by yourself is probably the same as being in an ambulance. Buzz is like a wolf that goes off by itself to die. It does seem pretty lonely to be on the street at 4:00 AM hailing a cab.
4:20	Buzz also had a bag full of electronic equipment with him so he figured any one of the shadowy people he saw on the street would rob and shoot him.
4:24	On the phone is Kerry Sayers from Comcast Sportsnet. She feels for Buzz, her boyfriend went through the same thing. Is she dating an 80-year old?
4:25	Actually, kidney stones can strike any demographic. Kerry knows a woman who has given birth and had kidney stones and the stones were way worse. Is she raising both the kid and the stone?
4:26	And how serious is Kerry's boyfriend? Probably pretty series if she went through all that kidney stone stuff with him.
4:27	Just for Steve Kerry's going to start with Jim Thome's 500th, which he's going for tonight. Steve doesn't really care any more.
4:28	The other big story if Cubs at Cards this weekend, that's a four game series. The first game is on Comcast as well as the second game of tomorrow's doubleheader.
4:29	Tonight is a big game for Carlos Zambrano, he needs to start earning his paycheck.
4:30	Kerry is sitting across from Dan Jiggets, who says hi. Steve wants to know if Dan is wedged into his chair. Kerry shouldn't say anything though.
4:31	The Cardinals are coming off their worst road trip in 30+ years so this is a good time to be playing them.
4:32	The big news up at Halas Hall is that Greg Olsen practiced today but they're still not sure if he'll play on Sunday.
4:33	Brad Maynard is also questionable for Sunday with a sore groin. Steve's being serious here, this isn't a groin joke. We've used up all of our groin jokes.
4:34	Can Steve just say that he doesn't like Cedric Benson's attitude? He's always been that way. He operates with a chip on his shoulder which normally makes you perform better.
4:35	Tom Thayer said on Monday that week 2 and week 3 are when you see what a team is made of. He also thought there were some offensive line problems that would be worked out by this week.
4:36	There's no reason to push the panic button yet, there are still 15 games left. It won't be an undefeated season but Steve already blogged about that when Buzz was out. Now we don't have to hear Buzz hoping they don't have a perfect season.
4:39	Headlines with Buzz
4:40	The Juice, questioned by Vegas police after being accused of involvement in an armed robbery of some sports memorabilia from a hotel room.
4:41	Juice was not arrested, just questioned. He was just conducting a sting operation. He's got his own law enforcement branch that he set up to find the real killer of his wife.
4:42	The RTA has agreed to accept millions of dollars from the governor, preventing fare hikes and service cuts at least until November.
4:43	It seems like eventually they'll have to raise fares since they're not making more than they are spending. Even with a fare hike it's still a really good deal compared to having a car and paying for insurance and parking.
4:44	A Florida boy is lucky to be alive after a shark attacked him and would not let go. The shark was finally punched in the nose by paramedics and it let go.
4:45	Buzz has been hearing that for years, ever since the shark movies became popular. If you punch a shark in the nose it'll hurt it and then it'll swim away.
4:46	Sting was photographed leaving a brothel in Hamburg. A publicist says that Sting and his wife have always been very open about strip clubs.
4:47	Britney Spears is reportedly weighing (no pun intended) a decision to appear at this week's Emmy's to apologize for her performance at last week's VMA's. Is that on stage or on the red carpet?
4:48	According to US Weekly it would be an on stage appearance. What is she apologizing for? Maybe she could have gone with a different outfit that wasn't so revealing or boots that she could walk in but other than that what can she say?
4:49	She also looked like a zombie but Steve didn't even mind that. When you see someone who looks like that in Vegas you know they're ready to go up to their room.
4:52	Kudos to OJ for being able to take time out of the ongoing murder investigation to set up a sting in Vegas of some sports memorabilia collectors.

4:54	It's time for the Five O'Clock Taco Bell. It's a little early because Jeff Joniak is calling in at 5:00. Steve wanted to put a base down before he talked to him.
5:01	Jeff Joniak is on the phone. We're done talking about last week, let's talk about this week. Jeff thought 3 days was too much to talk about last week.
5:02	It seemed like the Bears were talking smack when they got home. Jeff didn't think they were. Cedric Benson responded to what was said.
5:03	Steve knows all about the Chiefs thanks to Hard Knocks. They seem like a splintered group but that doesn't mean they can't beat the Bears.
5:04	Jeff thinks the Bears offense will be a lot better on Sunday. More people will be involved on offense too.
5:05	The Bears somehow forgot about involving everyone else in the offense but it's hard to do that when you only run 53 plays.
5:06	Steve's not despondent about last week though. A lot of people said they were going to lose but Steve wasn't one of them. When they did lose though he was mad.
5:07	Bears fans have to be happy about how the front 7 did on defense. It seems like Bob Babich likes to bring it. Brian Urlacher calls him Bullet Bob.
5:08	It's another 3:15 start on Sunday which is out of the norm. The following week is a 7:00 start. Steve doesn't mind the later starts, he likes that being the last game.
5:09	If the Bears are the first game Steve can't focus on any of the other games for the rest of the day. It's like when movie theaters played double features, the crummier movie was always first.
5:10	There's a lot of talk this week about Hester getting more than one snap this weekend. It doesn't seem like he'll get it from a punt. The guy on the Chargers has a terrific hang time on his punts so Hester really has no chance.
5:11	It seems like Hester could have run back a few of the ones he fair caught but you want to play it safe on the road.
5:12	Brad Maynard is questionable for Sunday with a sore groin. You don't want to hear that on a Friday though. Robbie Gould is the back up and there's Kevin Payne who's a safety, but punted in college.
5:13	That's probably a legit injury report because the NFL has changed the way teams report injuries. Bill Belichick was notorious for doing that. And speaking of him, Cowboys QB coach Wade Wilson is furious with the penalties leveled against Belichick.
5:14	Belichick is a head coach and he flat out cheated and he got fined and the Patriots are losing a draft pick. Belichick probably won't even pay the fine. Meanwhile Wade Wilson took HGH a few years ago, he's not even a player and he was suspended 5 games.
5:15	So Wade Wilson is probably going to appeal his suspension. It just seems like Belichick should have a stiffer penalty, maybe sit him for 4 games.
5:16	Steve doesn't like Bill Belichick because of the way he cuts the sleeves off his hoodies.
5:23	Live read: Big Bowl
5:24	The Hungry Hound, Steve Dolinsky, will be doing his show from a Big Bowl tomorrow. Steve's not sure what time he's on because he doesn't get a schedule for the weekend programming.
5:25	The station might not print up a schedule because they're embarrassed about what goes on here over the weekend. As well they should be, but Steve actually likes the Hungry Hound.
5:26	Steve's pretty sure he's on at 3:00, after David Hochberg. He whets your appetite and then the Hungry Hound directs you to an appropriate location. After the Hungry Hound Steve doesn't know what goes on and he probably doesn't want to know, right?
5:27	Live read: Townstone Financial
5:28	Song: When You Were Young, The Killers
5:32	That's from The Killers' album Sam's Town which is the name of a chain of casinos in Nevada. It's more of a place where the locals go, not unlike where OJ may have committed armed robbery.
5:33	There are calls left over from Jeff Joniak's segment but perhaps Steve could answer them as the current resident Bears expert.
5:34	Caller George was playing Madden '08 today with his son and he played as the Bears. His son doesn't like the Bears so he picked the Colts. The Bears have a defensive formation called "Bullet Bob"
5:35	George's son is actually a Packers fan. How did that happen? Does he not have full custody? At least Steve and his boys are on the same page when it comes to sports.
5:36	George and his son both like the Cubs so they're OK there but some how he became a Packers fan. All the kids in school gravitated to Bret Favre.
5:37	The good news is that George always gets to be the Bears on Madden '08 but he always gets beat anyway. No matter how much he practices it won't matter.
5:38	For Steve's boys video games are like second nature, they just pick up the controllers and know what to do. Steve plays a video game about once a year and it always ends the same way.
5:39	Caller Mark has been listening since 1979. Steve can't even make that claim. He only recently started liking himself.
5:40	Mark would like to point out that Bill Belichick has lead the Patriots to 3 Super Bowl titles, all of which were won by a field goal. You have to wonder if maybe his cheating changed the history of the NFL.
5:41	Steve would like to have all those victories erased but that probably won't happen. Steve was just reading during the break that Belichick considers himself some sort of rock drummer, that must be why he cuts the sleeves off his hoody.
5:42	Why would any guy do that, it just makes your arms look smaller. He must think he has huge guns.
5:43	There was something on Mark's page about cheating in the Super Bowl but his computer screen has gone blank. In the meantime Steve would like to say that he's fielding the football questions quite well.
5:44	Some Eagles thought they'd be able to blitz Tom Brady in the Super Bowl in 2005 but every time they tried to do it they were nullified with screen passes.
5:45	Every time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson called for a blitz the Patriots used a short pass. Steve's sick of hearing about what a genius Jim Johnson is. If he's such a genius why is he still a defensive coordinator?
5:46	Steve thought he was going to be able to go off on a rant against the Patriots defensive coordinator but as soon as he said Jim Johnson he realized that was the Eagles coordinator.
5:47	In the end Brown thought the Patriots beat the Eagles with sharp offensive play-calling. Now he's not so sure in the wake of the recent allegations.
5:48	Steve gets the feeling that the Patriots didn't just decide this year to start cheating.
5:49	Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward said this week that he suspected the Patriots had some sort of inside information on them during their two AFC Championship games.
5:50	The Eagles do not have any solid proof of shenanigans though. This seems to go beyond shenanigans, doesn't it?
5:51	This article goes on forever. It seems unlikely that the Patriots just decided to cheat this year though.
5:52	If Buzz were an NFL coach and there wasn't a specific rule, he would consider videotaping to be good recon. Buzz would probably also have a Tom Landry look. There are a lot of wireless transmissions during football games so there's probably a gentleman's agreement. Buzz would do anything he could to get that info unless he knew there was a rule. Maybe Buzz is wasting his talents here. In the NFL he might be considered an offensive mastermind.
5:56	Caller Dave saw in the paper today that there is a rule in the NFL that you can't videotape other teams signals.
5:57	Goodell sent a letter to every coach before the season started out the new rule so Belichick just thumbed his nose at it. How does that effect Coach Buzz Kilman? He wouldn't do it if there was a rule.
5:58	It seems like Eric Mangini is the one who dropped a dime on Belichick since they hate each other. Mangini knows Belichick's tactics and he probably realized what was going on.
5:59	Caller Jim thought it would be easier for an opposing team to steal the FM signal being transmitted to the QB's helmet.
6:00	Steve knows a guy who works at Soldier Field and his only job is to assign all the different radio frequencies for a game. There's so much going on there radio frequency-wise that no one would even know if you were intercepting one.
6:01	Caller Greg wanted to let Steve know that the McLaren Formula-1 racing team was fined $100 million and lost all their championship points for cheating this week.
6:02	Maybe Roger Goodell knows something we don't know and the cheating wasn't as bad as it seems, hence the lenient punishment.
6:03	In the NFL rule book on page 105, not that Steve has to tell Buzz this, the video ban is clear. It states "No video recording devices of any kind are permitted to be in use in the coaches' booth, on the field, or in the locker room during the game."
6:10	Jon Bon Jovi became a Belichick groupie after he became coach of the Patriots. Belichick and his wife even went on a tour of Europe with Bon Jovi.
6:11	During the tour Belichick was struck by the similarities between staging a rock concert and a football game. What an idiot. Both a football game and a concert have to be set-up for starters.
6:12	Bon Jovi dedicated a song to Belichick on his first post-9/11 album. The song was about America's resiliency and the way we bounced back.
6:13	He said it was similar to the way Belichick bounced back from a tough resignation from the Jets. Oh no, not that!
6:14	This article goes on forever and it's really creepy. Get a room guys!
6:15	There's some other sports Steve has so he'll get his music going. The Cubs are in St. Louis to begin a 4 game series against he Cardinals. Lou Piniella is expecting big things from starter Carlos Zambrano.
6:16	Jim Thome looks for his 500th career home run tonight against Bartolo Colon and the Angels.
6:17	Lovie Smith said Brian Urlacher and Muhsin Muhammad missed today's practice with general soreness. Steve has that right now. Buzz missed an entire week with that.
6:18	Running back Ricky Williams will be eligible for reinstatement October 1st and his agent send he will attempt to come back to the NFL. Steve wouldn't mind seeing him on the Bears. We could teach him how to pass a drug test.
6:19	Alyssa Milano will work as a correspondent for TBS during the baseball playoffs.
6:20	Linebacker Mike Flynt will take the field for Sul Ross State on Saturday for the first time in 37 years. Flynt suits up against he Mary Hardin-Baylor in Belton. There's a lot in here that Steve and Buzz don't know about.
6:21	It's good of Brendan to give Steve this story and then split to get ready for his show. Flynt is 59-years old and was kicked off the team in the 70s for a fight. He never got over the regret of missing his senior year. So he'll play one down and then be carted off in an ambulance?
6:22	Live read: Walter E. Smithe
6:23	Steve had his picture taken with Garry today which was unusual because they haven't done that in a while.
6:24	Steve and Garry are doing that Night of A Thousand Noogies for Gilda's Club. It gave Steve a chance to vent a little bit.
6:25	Steve doesn't mind doing these charities but they usually turn into a cluster you-know-what. A lot of people want to get involved with charities because of the social aspects of it. For instance Steve doesn't need to know that he needs to be there at 8:00 because the Hungry Hound has to leave at 9:3.
6:26	For some people being involved with something like this allows them to attain new levels of status. Like Billy Dec, who the hell is he? He makes a good cheeseburger, so what?
6:27	Garry knew where Steve was coming from but everyone else was shocked. The PR girl was crying and Jill was telling him he couldn't say that.
6:28	Steve was coming off a bad interview with Time Out, which he still feels isn't a real paper. The girl from Time Out had a deadline so she had to talk to Steve last week. She's the one who told Steve that the event didn't sound that interesting.
6:29	Turns out Garry had a similar experience with Time Out. But the article doesn't come out until next week! Who has a deadline 3 week prior? Are they having monks carve the rotogravure?
6:30	So Steve got all that out today which is good because he won't bring it on stage. People from Second City get different pairs of people on stage, ask them questions and then do an improv based on it.
6:31	The pairings include Amanda Puck and Steve Dolinsky and Jen Schefft and the Bachelorette from Europe. People are telling Steve that like it's a big deal that Jen Schefft is on.
6:32	Buzz thinks it'll be very interesting to see what happens. Steve taking a swing at some Second CIty smart-ass could be worth the price of admission.
6:33	When the fat guy from Second City starts doing Steve he's going to pop him in the mouth. It's A Night of a Thousand Noogies and One Pop in the Mouth.
6:34	It was fun to do that with Garry today though. In spite of everything that's happened they're both professionals. It was good to be with someone who has also been there and done that.
6:35	Steve and Garry have this language that they speak, they understand each other. It also freaked everyone out.
6:40	Steve gives plenty to charity and he's looking forward to doing this thing but it's a weird culture. To Buzz it seems like there's always a lot of money spent on the events.
6:41	Jen Schefft though? She told two different guys on the Bachelor that she'd marry them and she didn't. Then she didn't get picked and cried about it. Then she wrote a book about it.
6:42	Steve promises he won't break bad though. The last time he was at the Park West he did break bad though. Harry Teinowitz told him they were raising money for child abuse so he went out there and asked how much money you needed to abuse children? Just get a belt and a Bic lighter.
6:43	Steve was promptly booed off stage by a bunch of 30 year olds in tuxedos. It was probably a mistake to have the 4 Jack Daniels beforehand. He didn't have anything else to control the buzz.
6:44	News with Buzz
6:45	OJ Simpson is a suspect in an armed robbery in Las Vegas in which several men came into a hotel room, guns, drawn, and stole sports memorabilia.
6:46	OJ was in Vegas to attend a wedding. Imagine the guy having to run that by his wife. You have to invite OJ, you don't want to make him mad.
6:47	Former LA homicide detective Mark Fuhrman, who pretty much blew that case, questioned who would want any memorabilia owned by OJ.
6:48	How do you fail upwards like Fuhrman? He blew that case with his bad testimony and now he's got his own TV show?! How does Steve get involved with that?
6:49	There's an interview on CNN with the guy who was robbed in the Vegas hotel room.
6:50	These memorabilia guys are creepy, Steve will say that. He's not sure if they stole from OJ though. The saddest part is this guy was once friends with OJ.
6:51	Standby, it's going to take a while for Steve to load this. If this turns out to be what it appears to be the Juice will probably go to jail. You can't bust into a hotel room with guns and not go to jail.
6:52	Steve has a feeling it'll be harder for OJ to skate in Vegas. LA is too politically correct. Forget about the shoe print or the bloody glove, Mark Fuhrman said the n-word.
6:57	Dick Cheney stopped in Michigan today to drum up support of President Bush and the war. He said things are going fine over there.
6:58	These guys should be winning Academy Awards for acting. Cheney's the worst of them.
6:59	The RTA agreed on a plan presented by Governor Blagojevich to borrow funds from their future budget. That seems very fiscally responsible. It also seems responsible fro the RTA to call it a Doomsday Scenario.
7:00	A 20-year old man who stole memorabilia from Walter Payton's Roundhouse Restaurant in Aurora won't be welcome there for the next two years.
7:01	That's all the punishment he gets? Steve's just minding his business on a bright, sunny, summer morning, driving through Northwestern Illinois and he gets pulled over for speeding.
7:02	Now Steve is on probation and this kid can't go to the Roundhouse for two years. Of course, Steve can still go to the Roundhouse but he can't drive there over 55.
