We're not taping this week due to the PAC-10 Conference being on the network all-week so we've supplied you with some of our better shows & segments from the past few months.  If you didn't see them the 1st time, you should do yourself a favor and check them out.  Meanwhile, we're watching college hoops (Syracuse & Arizona with good wins today) and preparing for next week.  Our producer, Charlie, checks in with his latest thoughts...

The madness is creeping in, and I'm not talking about the NCAA Tournament. I'm about to go crazy ... we haven't taped a new show in what seems like an eternity. Monday, March 13th can't come soon enough (our 1st day back).

When you're in charge of a multi-million dollar show like I am, you need to be challenged EVERY DAY with NEW guests, segments, etc.

Here is a list of the thrilling things I did today:

*Came to work, prepared for a meeting

*Went to a meeting

*Went to another meeting

*Had a meeting about a future meeting

*Fell asleep in a meeting

*Wrote this blog

One more thing ... Brooke Burns was on the FOX lot today. She came by to say "hi." She used to be a correspondent for us. Alas, I wasn't around when she visited, but I was told by more than one person that she was looking for me. I swear. Brooke Burns. Last week Lisa Dergan. This week Brooke Burns. Tomorrow, the world (and the Playboy Mansion).

Peace, and I'm out.      

Thanks Charlie...  He speaks for us all, at least as far as ready to get back to doing new shows.  With the NCAA Tourney ready to crank up, baseball & the WBC just getting underway plus the NFL Free Agency & the NFL Draft just around the corner, we should have plenty to talk about both on the show and here in the blog.  Personally, my favorite time of the year as a sports fan.   

Anyways, be sure to check us out next week with a great guest list including Memphis Head Coach John Calipari, CBS college hoops analyst Billy Packer, Baseball Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt, Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek, WWE Champ John Cena plus hollywood hotshots like Michael Chiklis from "The Shield" and Michael Rapaport from "The War at Home"..   Don't miss it!!
