The questions asked of our esteemed panel? Glad you asked.
1.) Think professional stadium names. If employees of the stadium's corporate sponsor were required to conduct business inside the associated venue, which would stadium would provide the most hilarity?
2.) As the new Super Sports Commissioner, you can appoint any non-former-athlete broadcaster to coach a sport of your choosing. Which broadcaster and what sport would make the best fit?
3.) If you could choose one former player to be the hitting coach of your favorite baseball team for entertainment purposes who would you like to see?
4.) You goal for a Halloween costume this year is to horrify one distinct fan base. What are you going as?
5.) If you had to put your money on one NFL player that is most likely to cry himself to sleep at night because of overall unhappiness, who is your best bet?

Yeah, that was a nice touch. Doesn't quite redeem yourself but still a valiant attempt.

I can't believe dropped the ball on the Ray Knight thing, Sebek. Very weak. The image of him prancing his way to home plate should be forever etched in the mind of any respectable baseball fan.
