It's a hypothetical

so if you don’t want to posit an answer, that’s cool.

My point in asking is that crap like this appeals to what most people wish they could do/be.

Meaning, if you (not specific, the general) were going to be rich beyond measure anyhow, and still talented and still playing a game for a living, and still collecting fat paychecks, you’d probably do whatever the heck you wanted.

 I know I would.

The frustrating thing about it is

that it’s not even a commercial that’s finishing up. It’s some old hit song that’s playing. What’s funny is that often Pat Hughes will call two pitches in a row like the pitcher quick pitched the batter. I guess Pat thinks we’re too dumb to know what really happened. I wrote to WGN’s sports director and he said they don’t want it to happen and it occurs only a couple of times a game. Another guy with plenty of respect for their listeners.
