Five on Five: Off topic
Talking sports isn't always enough for some of our panelists ...
 | Marc Silverman: "Oh yeah, the jerk store called ..." |
 | Leo Ebersole: All he was doing was starting an earnest conversation about the ump's experiences in clown college. |
 | Ernest Wilkins: "Yo mama is so fat that the last time she saw `90210,' it was on a scale." |
 | Elliott Serrano: "I think Aaron Sorkin's `The Newsroom' is superior to `The West Wing.'" |
| Sarah Spain: "Excuse me, sir, but I humbly disagree with the call you just made." |
 | Marc Silverman: No soup for you, Hawk! |
 | Leo Ebersole: He'll be limited to the following words for an entire broadcast: "Yes," "no," "mercy" and "Polish sausage." |
 | Ernest Wilkins: A warm hug from yours truly that lasts juuuuust a little too long. (I'm very passionate.) |
 | Elliott Serrano: Directing traffic in the U.S. Cellular Field parking lots. |
 | Sarah Spain: Supernanny says he gets at least five minutes of "sit on the step in silence" time. |
 | Marc Silverman: "Stay! Next year can be the summer of George, er, I mean Bob." |
 | Leo Ebersole: "Oh man, there are so many reasons to stay: The Cubs are ... OK, yeah, I'm out of reasons." |
 | Ernest Wilkins: "Bob-o-link, there are a lot of smoking hot PR girls on work outings to gawk at! GAWK!" |
 | Elliott Serrano: "Stay Bob! Who else us gonna play bass at the Cubbie Bear with Len Kasper?" |
 | Sarah Spain: "Think how terrible you'll feel if you leave just before the year the Cubs finally win ... 75 games." |
 | Marc Silverman: He wasn't "master of his domain." |
 | Leo Ebersole: Because apparently the Northeastern Wide Receiver is a gentle creature made of elf magic and tissue paper. |
 | Ernest Wilkins: Because the white (and black-shirted) man is trying to keep him down! Damn zebras. |
 | Elliott Serrano: Peanut told the officials he thought "The Newsroom" was better than "Sports Night." |
 | Sarah Spain: Because these replacement refs are positively Caleb Hanie-esque at filling in. |
 | Marc Silverman: Art Vandelay. |
 | Leo Ebersole: Ernest Wilkins, after watching reruns of "Felicity." |
 | Ernest Wilkins: *gets note from boss* Um ... I would like to apologize for my insensitive comments toward zebras. |
 | Elliott Serrano: It was either Evita Peron or Chad "Ocho stinko" Johnson after getting cut on "Hard Knocks." |
 | Sarah Spain: An empathetic onion. |
