Compliments to the Dorsey, the Edge and the Father
Caller 1: Hey, I had to call because I’m tired of so-called experts like Joe Theisman ripping on Ken Dorsey so much on national television. He’s a good kid … just a rookie. Give him a chance for God’s sake.
Green Phone: Ken is a good kid and indeed just a rookie. The team’s O-line is terrible and its running game is showing up on local milk cartons. With that said, if you had to sit there in the TV booth and analyze that Niners-Bears debacle, we’re guessing it would’ve come out the same way. Watching Dorsey was quite the Halloween fright. Honestly, we believe Gramma Green Phone could’ve thrown the ball with more zip.
Caller 2: Hi, my name is Andy Been, coach of the girls’ water polo at Gilroy. And I’d really like to put some appreciation in for Brett. He comes to our water polo games, and sometimes we don’t have the greatest outcomes, but he really does a fantastic job writing for the paper and representing our school, Gilroy High School. It’s just a pleasure to have an opportunity to be associated with him and around him. Greatly appreciate your coverage this season of the water polo. Thank you very much Brett, and all of you guys down there at the Dispatch.
Green Phone: Blushing … blushing … yep, pretty sure the Green Phone just turned into the Red Phone.
Caller 3: I’d just wanted to call and say that I’m cheering for Father Coleman in that picks contest you all have on Friday. He might be in last place, but at least he picks the Gilroy High Mustangs to win every week. Keep the faith, Father! Thanks!
Green Phone: The true test will come playoff time. Will the Father stick with his beloved Mustangs even if they’re an underdog or will he pull a Garcia and disregard the league’s loyalty rule? Stay tuned …
Caller 4: This is Brad Johnson, a mortgage loan specialist. There’s something I’d really love to talk to you about. Could you give me a call back when you get a chance … would really like to go over this with you in person instead of on your answering machine.
Green Phone: Apparently this is what happens when you get cut by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Very sad. From Super Bowl-winning quarterback to annoying telemarketer. Pretty soon we’ll be seeing Brad living under a bridge on some sappy Sportscenter special.
