This Sunday night in front of a sold out crowd at Seattle's Neptune theater, I will be the lucky and grateful victim of a Jeffery Ross roast! That's right kids, the Roastmaster General himself will open the Seattle stop of his national tour with a 5 minute speedroast of Mrs. O'Neill's second born son. This has to be just about the coolest thing that has ever happened to me!
I mean, being roasted by Jeffrey Ross is like having DiVinci draw a caricature of you on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City! It's like having Tom douglas come to your house in the morning and make your kid's smoked salmon and creamed cheese nosh school lunch! Then taking that lunch and eating it yourself and sending your kid out the door with a ham and cheese Lunchable.
Jeffrey Ross will be unleashing his scathing and relentless verbal barrage at ME! Will it be cruel? Of course! Will I be embarrassed? Naturally! Will I cry? I can only hope! We had Jeffrey on the show this week and he allowed me the honor of shooting a couple of barbs at him. Nervously, I asked him if the Khadafi uniform he wore on stage at the Charlie Sheen roast was from the dictators 80's collection? And told him he looked like the Fresh Prince of Tripoli! When I heard Jeffrey Ross laugh I realized that any pain and emotional scarring I might suffer at the Neptune this Sunday will be a small price to pay!
Listen to our show this Monday for a full recap and maybe even some audio from the roast!

Tim Tebow! Man, there's no middle of the road with this guy. You either love him or you hate him. Personally, I think he's pretty special. I've been following Tebow since his days at Florida, where he won a pair of National Championships and a Heisman trophy. I Love his enthusiasm, his attitude and that "give me the ball" mentality he plays the game with. I never minded the religious aspect of his persona. It's not my cup of tea, but there are much worse things athletes can and do seem to get wrapped up in.
And you're right, he's not the stereotypical passer. He has a terrible throwing motion and can on any given down throw a worse pass than just about any other QB in the game. But I just don't get all the haters. How can anybody come up with this venomous loathing people have for the guy? He's hard working, that's good right? He displays his religion with pride and enthusiasm, and that seems to be helping his game. But does that have to be translated as ramming it down people's throats?
I think the overcoming his short comings way he plays the game is fun to watch. Who cares if he's not the best passer? He's winning! And i'd take that over any number of much better passers who are going to be watching Tebow play New England on TV this weekend! Is this the end of Tebow time? or did Jesus take the Broncos and the points vs. the Patriots? We'll know by next Sunday.
