“Creek and Crack” the new show from ESPN
Ever watched Sports Center and realized that you never got your 15 minutes of fame? Then this might be the show for you. Here’s my pitch: ESPN starts a televised call-in show for regular folk to complain about sports injuries. It would be like Car Talk but instead of talking about your crap car, you get to talk about your crap knee.
I’d either host it with two witty and obnoxious orthopaedic surgeons . . .
Injured Caller: "My knee makes this funny popping noise every time I run." Surgeon Host 1: "Can you describe the popping noise, is like a Rice Crispies in milk, or opening a bottle of Cristal?" Surgeon Host 2: "I had some Cristal last night, fantastic. I'll have to make up a few injuries in the office to pay for it, but it's so worth it."
Or for a completely different chemistry, imagine a Western doctor and an Eastern healer . . .
Western Host: "I've got some bad news for you; I think you're suffering from degenerative joint disease. You see, the largest weight-bearing joints in the body are prone to ..." Eastern Host: "Oh, no, no, no ... degenerative joint disease is when you get skipped over for your turn to toke because your friends are too high to notice. What you're suffering from is a disruption in your radiant energy-pattern probably a blockage in your lower meridian"
Next time you’re watching ESPN with ice packs on your knees, who you gonna call?
