  • #50 Mike Singletary. Middle linebacker. Bears. Click here for his “I like this kind of party.” Snow!

Give me two NFL statistics that grab your attention.

  1. Christian McCaffrey leads NFL in all purpose yards. 135.6 per game. Panthers had him!
  2. Tua leads NFL in passing yards. Kind of wondered if he’d play this year. Wilson is 8th. He’s taking a lot of flak last two years. Are his numbers better or are they just behind?
  3. Minnesota is 1-4 and Cousins leads NFL with 13 TD passes and 4 interceptions.
  4. Purdy 9 TDs and no INTs. Rookie (Texans) CJ Stroud 7 TDs and no INTs.

  • Mannings!
  • Alec, Daniel, and Billy Baldwin.
  • Luke and Owen Wilson.
  • Mark and Donnie Wahlberg.

Give me three sibling trivia questions that I would have a chance to know.

Anne, I used to do a radio show on Saturday mornings in Peru, Indiana. I also used to watch the Bob Knight show. Do you think you are capable of hosting such a show?

Anne, you’ve got two almost 10-day trips coming up. Let’s go over your sleeping options.
