Ms. Benson
The wife of New York Mets pitcher, Kris Benson, is doing more press. Anna Benson told Howard Stern this summer that if her husband ever cheated on her, she would reciprocate by sleeping with each of his Mets teammates and the grounds keepers. Anna, a professional model and former stripper, has also clued us to the fact that she and her husband enjoy sex in public places and have intercourse in each city in which Benson pitches.In the current Steppin' Out Magazine, Benson is quoted as saying she likes to get hammered before her husband's games. "Not all the time. But... you go sit there and watch your spouse, in front of 20,000 people, pitch a baseball game. It's nervewracking!"
She goes on to say that she finds Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter "attractive," she admires new Met Pedro Martinez because "his fingers are so long," but none of them compare to her husband, who "looks like a Ken doll."
She also says, "If [Kobe Bryant] had been my husband, I would have stood up and grabbed that microphone and beat his a--!"

Hindsight is 20/20, but CBS made the wrong call when choosing the new host of the Late Late Show. Cardinals' and FOX-TV broadcaster Joe Buck put his mark on the show the last two nights. The production staff of the show also erred when they failed to schedule actor Jon Voight on one of the two nights. Joe Buck interviewing Joe Buck would have been surreal.
It didn't strike me right away, but it was very unusual to have a current, high-profile FOX-TV celebrity hosting a show on another network. FOX and CBS go head-to-head with their NFL coverage every Sunday afternoon. I believe this gig can be attributed to Buck's past employment at KMOX Radio in St. Louis, a tent pole station for the CBS Radio Network. Also, Buck's late father, Jack, was a longtime personality on CBS, hosting Monday Night Football on the radio and CBS-TV's baseball coverage.
Joe was funny, relaxed, and frequently clever on the Late Late Show. What struck me most, though, might sound odd. Outside his normal element, I realized what an unusually strong voice he has. There is a science involved with speech presentation, and Buck has had the training.

In a ceremony earlier this week, President Bush awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor to Gen. Tommy Franks, Paul Bremer, and George Tenet- three central architects of the War in Iraq. In separate ceremonies, Billy Joel was given an award of distinction from Mothers Against Drunk Driving, and Bill Buckner won a Gold Glove.

Chicago Sun-Times columnist Richard Roeper had a good idea today. The Academy Awards should reveal the voting tallys in each category. To inject more drama into the ceremony, they could list the results, starting with fifth place and working up to the top. America loves countdowns, as VH1 and the E! Network remind us every night.

I previously thought Joe Buck had found his calling when he came and addressed my local rotary club. He's too lacking in personality to host a talk show. Don't confuse relaxed with dull.
If he's so dull, why does the St. Louis Post-Dispatch say he's "fluid and spontaneous?"
"Fluid and spontaneous" is also how I would describe urination. Joe Buck is without personality. He's a good play by play guy, but I prefer a distinct personality and the occasional fresh idea.
vommiting is more spontaneous, I think, but less fluid. unless you're vommiting straight alcohol and you didn't eat before drinking. rob, what am i telling you for? you know.
