My work on Leno

Well I finally made it to national television for the second time, in a way. The first time, it was my arm that was broadcast from coast-to-coast and beyond as I was covering the breaking story of Kobe Bryant being arrested for rape. A heard of reporters were interviewing Lakers assistant coach Kurt Rambis and my arm was holding a tape recorder. (If you care to see my arm, consult ESPN Classic for replays of Kobe Bryant being arrested as a top story in the 25-year history of ESPN.)

This time it is my work that made the television. Yes, my work was featured on "The Tonight Show" as part of their weekly "Headlines" segment. As you can see, I have Mother Teresa as a sports bettor.

Well our long-winded sports columnist Doug Krikorian has a weekly, personal minimum 45-inch rant about everything under the sun. There are some times he will write 70 inches, which my friend Feenstra pointed out to me, is way taller than him.

In these columns that coincidentally deal little with sports, he also gets four mug shots (tiny photos of someone's face) and they are always in an order he wants them. We've mugged a chicken once because he wanted it that way. And usually the first person he wants is someone we never have on file, I'm willing to bet it is one of his friends.

Well on this column led off about sports bettors he wanted some local degenerate, and I wasn't going to waste an hour looking for a jackass I know I'm not going to find. So, I went to the next one in line. It's standard except on this day it was Mother Teresa.

So, my designed page was on Leno.
