The Daily Dude

The over/under how much time Paul would have to waste because his traveling partner has a common name?

Paul’s Call - 7-16-09

The sawed off shotgun of sports … PAUL’S CALL.

Ground rules

1. Don’t bring down Paul’s Call

2. It can always get worse - Bernie Madoff might want to watch his back.

Nooo Comprendo

Quadrillion is actually a number. The charge on his account had 5 commas — 17 digits. How long do you think he was on the phone with the bank trying to fix the problem?

We found another professional athlete who ran out on his bride to be right before the wedding. This was a former Sun Devil after we found out about the former Wildcat on Tuesday.

Paul’s Call - 7-15-09

Paul’s Call. We’re trying to stay calm this morning. The Suns salary dump blew our doors off.

A plethora of fill-in hosts have been welcomed to Paul’s Call over the past week because Wolf never shows up for work.

ATTENTION: Phoenix Mercury we are waiting.

Usually left field is Eric Byrnes territory to botch, it seems to be rubbing off on the 21-year-old Justin Upton. Good thing he only plays there in All-Star games.

I’ll be Gol-Danged

There was Richard Jefferson headed to the alter to be wed. Umm except he never showed up. According to the NY Post he let her know before the weekend. What a gentlemen.

Nooo Comprendo! - How do we know the economy is on life support?

But even worse … A lady in Tampa at an airport restroom was shot in the leg. How does that happen?

Paulie Podcast - 7-13-09

Paulie Podcast may have came up with a slogan … “Welcome to The Blender”

The Monday edition of the news you are not supposed to notice. The news that came out late Friday so you would miss it.

READ: Amare underwent more eye surgery on Friday.

REACT: This is ‘routine’. No, this is alarming. Who wants to trade for Amare and get full rate right now.

READ: A local utility announced a rate hike, late on Friday. How much will SRP be raising rates?

READ: Armstrong is third in the Tour de France going into a rest day.

REACT: I am, You, are starved for a rivalry in sports right now. … Paulie Cyclist is all over Lance and his own teammate having a little friction.

Paul has a reason for why the newspaper industry is failing. He compares it to a headline that has to do with Eric Byrnes.

Holy Cannoli Happening

The Big Unit does some heartfelt, warm gesture towards teammate Jonathan Sanchez. And then he also grills the young pitcher for his season.

*** Dan Haren won’t start the All-Star game for the NL. Do people take into account everything or just the W’s and L’s.

And Paulie Podcast finishes up his three and out with advice to MLB players who are on their All-Star break.


Paul’s Call - 7-13-09

PAUL’S CALL

There is one good thing about not having Wolf around.

It is the Dave Pasch edition of Paul’s Call. First off, Dave does it right when he vacations. He doesn’t go to Ohio, or Buffalo, and he doesn’t do the staycation thing either.

The Pasch Factor

Of course Pasch was calling a game with Cal being forced to play a game starting at Noon - EASTERN.

Paulie Pigskin has an idea for this upcoming season. Pasch is going to use Paulie on the sidelines much more this season, to Wolf’s dismay. Of course won’t know this until he gets back from vacation.

And the wrap sign like Tony Clark… We’re outta here.
