Candice ColeTysonPanelistSarahPanelistSo we've got tickets to give away for the Jets game on Wednesday against the Colorado Avalanche, and if you would like to win those tickets this morning, we wanna ask you, why do you cheer for that team? So, like, a non-local team.
And if it w- be- because Greg and I each had interesting encounters, or, well, yours was more of an observation, I guess.
And, uh, so for a team that I did not grow up cheering for, the [laughs] San Diego Padres have become a big part of my life.
Lots of you know the story, uh, about, uh, my buddy Scott, who became a Blue Bomber fan because the NFL left San Diego.
Uh, we've been friends for almost a decade now, and I've been to as many San Diego Padre games as any other Major League Baseball team now.
So I sorta live and die with them, and they lost yesterday in just heartbreaking fashion.
And I said to my son, "It's beginning to feel personal." But [laughs] the upside is I seem to have more, uh, compatriots on the Padres bandwagon, 'cause you see San Diego Padres hats everywhere.
And there was a guy at the Jets game on Friday night two rows above me with a Padres hat.
But the point is that Padres hats are everywhere now as they become one of the more popular teams in Major League Baseball.
So it's already random in the sense that on Sunday, I went to play golf with three of my friends.
So the odds of two of my best friends both, uh, being fanatics for mediocre Ohio football teams-
And the fa- and, like, they are heated rivals, of course, those teams, being in the same state.
