    Hot Seat #84 - browntown653

    Rules for the Hot Seat

    This is something we are continuing on with. One nice aspect of being a smaller forum is building a solid community and getting to know many of the forum posters and here is your chance to get know one another even better!

    In The
    BaseballSlant Hot Seat threads, you may ask the one in the Hot Seat (in this case, browntown653) up to 3 questions. The questions can be about baseball, movies, relationships, whatever.

    Please keep the questions appropriate and know that the person in the Hot Seat can refuse to answer any question he or she feels uncomfortable with. You may ask questions for the next week, then the guy in The Hot Seat will answer up to three of your questions.

    If you would like to have a chance to be the next one up, post that you would like to and browntown653 will
    select from the ones interested for who will go next. Or, if he opts not to choose I'll make the decision.

    Timeframe involved: Just so we know how we are going to do this ... the person in the Hot Seat will be there for about one to two weeks. Questions, such as this thread, will be open for one week and then we will close the questioning so that the poster has time (up to one week) to get some answers together.

    Questioning will close Thursday, August 19th. Answers will then be opened until Thursday, August 26th.

    Why does Jim Rome (and numerous other radio hosts) insist on wasting air time in telling listeners what his producer and board op (who are not mic'ed up) are doing behind the scenes or their body language to him ragging on them? Memo to Rome: If your guy has a comment on sports or wants to give some love to his favorite team, fine, have him mic'ed and give him his moment. But stop with the useless shit like how your guy is gesturing that he wants to blow you after the show.

    What a maroon.

    If you could go back and relive any moment you have experienced in your life time what would it be and why?

    Do you enjoy outdoor activities? Such as camping.. Hiking.. Fishing.. Etc..

    What's one thing about Alaska that you have been surprised about? Good or bad. Do you enjoy Alaska or do you wish that you weren't there?

    I would also like to be considered for the next hot seat.
    Tennessee Titans. Duke athletics. New York Yankees. Carolina Hurricanes. Portland Trailblazers.

    Alaska has some nice outdoor parks and the what not. Did you manage to make it outside of Anchorage to visit such monuments of the environment?

    Does Dave Eiland really have that much power over AJ Burnett, that without him AJ is just a shell of his former self?

    Whats the plan for the coming year at "Cuse"?

    1. Let's say you get to replace Bud Selig, but you have to complete 3 tasks in order to keep the job:

    A) Which four teams do you contract, within reason?

    B) Do you expand the use of instant replay, and if you do, what are the extensions?

    C) You are given the opportunity to completely re-construct the format in which we vote on Hall of Famers. Do you continue to let journalists vote, do you let individuals actually in the Hall of Fame vote, do you come up with your own idea, or do you decided that only you will pick the Hall of Famers?

    2. Yeah, I'm making you work on these questions. For 2011, top 5 most anticipated movies.. for yourself.

    3. I'm going to list 5 football players. Tell me if their past or current punishment was fair, not enough, or too much:

    A) Donte Stallworth
    B) Plaxico Burress
    C) Ben Roethlisberger
    D) Matt Jones
    C) Brian Cushing
    Marshall: MILSWANCAs?
    Ted
    : Wait, I can get this. Mothers I'd like to sleep with and never call again.
    Barney: Circle gets the square!

    Do you and your buddies/GF ever go up to Onondaga Lake?

    Who was your favorite monster/villian when you were a "younger" kid.

    What the f*** is so great about Katy Perry that she is all the media ever talks about?

    Some good questions so far, let's keep 'em coming. I look forward to answering the Katy Perry one.

    1) Worst part about being a Yankees Fan
    2) If you had to let one Yankee go after this year is it Derek Jeter or Mariano Rivera
    3) Best blooper from your summer job broadcasting games

    1. Rank Green Day albums from best to worst (relative term, naturally). Also, name the best and worst song off each album.

    2. What was more exciting? NY Giants Super Bowl victory or Yankees WS win?

    3. What's the best thing about Alaska? Worst?

    I was disappointed by your lackadaisical questions and was giving you a chance to edit.
