I'm still hoping for Kirk Herbstreit (he can call my plays anytime!), and the only man to ever look good in burnt orange: Matthew McConaughey. I'm also willing to consider visits from Brett Favre or John Cusack.

My 10 year old insists that I play "Los Angeles Is Burning" on the way to every baseball or football game of his. I have no idea why. He says it pumps him up.
