"Hey Dave,
put on this microphone and lay down in the middle of the road for a moment. Don't worry about that bus, he'll miss you."
National Dave Day? And it was yesterday to boot. I think they call this taking one for the team. Also, I take credit for the cheesy wrestling ring from the sports interview this morning.
I remain,
Stagehand Dave
After a couple months of work, WGN has finally upgraded all of our blogs! Woo hoo!

Q. But what about your old posts? I love watching Pat's crazy antics.
A. Not to worry. If you can't get enough of our old posts, you can still view them here on the old blog. It won't go anywhere. But to get all our latest posts, you'll want to visit our new blogs.

This guy never really considered the Bears when he was recently a free agent. And it's too bad, because the segment possibilities would have been endless- "Ring shopping with Tory Holt!" "Snap your fingers with Tory Holt!" and "Pull my finger! (With Tory Holt)."
Warning: If you've eaten within the last 2 hours, wait one more before watching this.

To all those who complained on FACEBOOK that we are sensationalizing swine flu I would say the sense of panic is simply up to the media consumer. If you watch news for 3 hours on five different channels---yes---you will see a lot of swine flu coverage. But we feel like most people catch a half-hour of news, and in that half-hour we'll give you as much info and perspective as possible. It never fails. If we did very little... and this mysterious strain suddenly became more severe, than people would light up our phone lines complaining "why didn't anyone tell me."
Remember--you could live in China where everything is rainbows and candy canes because the government controlled media can't tell you when there is something wrong.
In the end, you can always shut the TV off.
