Show #2: "February 8th, 2008"
----------------------------------------
George Grande - Himself
Greg Gumbel - Himself
The scene opens with George and Greg looking into the camera.
George - Well, we’re starting tonight with news in the NBA. Shaquille O’Neal is officially a Phoenix Sun, as of this morning. He has been traded from Miami to Phoenix with a return of Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks, neither of which have yet dressed in Miami Heat uniforms.
Greg - Many feel that this is a gambling move, but who knows? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
George - Yes. It is very unlikely that Kevin Garnett will dress for his upcoming game against his former team, the Minnesota Timberwolves. He hasn’t dressed in the past two weeks, and seeing him suit up for this game will be very surprising. The Timberwolves aren’t expecting any big ceremonies, and they just want to go and win this game. They have just moved ahead of the Heat recently, no longer having the NBA’s worst record. Boston on the other hand is at an NBA record 37-9.
The camera zooms more in on Greg now.
Greg - Houston Guard Steve Francis will have season-ending surgery on his right knee for a recent injury he received. After being diagnosed with torn quadriceps tendon in his right knee, he is scheduled for surgery on February 25, by Dr. Walter Lowe. Francis, who has been out since December 15 with the injury, has appeared in just 10 games this campaign, averaging only 5.5 points and 3.0 assists.
George - All-Star Weekend is also on its way to town. Here are the rosters for the East and West Teams.

----------End Commercial----------
The camera zooms into the two newscasters, who are once again sitting upright, looking right at the camera lens.
George - Welcome back. We’re going to start with some baseball news. As you all may know, Johann Santana is now a New York Met, and some say that this could be great for the Mets. Others say that Johann may turn into the next Pedro Martinez. I guess only time will tell.
Greg - Also, Roger Clemens says he didn’t use performance enhancing drugs, but others say he did. That is what’s new on our AthletiCenter poll. You be the judge. Did Roger Clemens use performance enhancers?
George - Feel free to pick which you think, and we will post results, and possibly even interview you when we take the poll off.
Greg - (Looking at George) Speaking of Clemens, did you hear about her and Brian McNamee?(Looking back at the camera) He said he injected her with HGH for a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition photo shoot. Yes that’s what else is new in baseball. This was said by McNamee himself in front of Congressional investigators recently.
George shakes his head.
George - In NCAA football news, Signing Day 2008 is over, so who made the best recruiting choices? You be the judge. This will not be a poll yet, but it may be when the Clemens one closes, you never know.
Greg - In NFL news, a man turned himself in to federal authorities after deciding whether or not to shoot people going to the Super Bowl. The man was denied a liquor license for his bar, and had planned to open gunfire in the parking lot of the stadium in Glendale, AZ. He was eventually charged with mailing threatening communications. He is being held without bail, and other than his first hearing, any additional hearings have yet to be scheduled.
George - And on to NCAA Basketball. John Brady was fired as LSU's basketball coach Friday with his team struggling at 8-13, a dismissal that left him in tears at a farewell news conference. "I've coached in the best league in the country and I've coached a lot of great guys," Brady said during the afternoon news conference with LSU athletic director Skip Bertman. "They've done some great things that had not been done here in a long time."
Greg - I hate to see him go, but I guess the team’s got to do what the team’s got to do. That’s all we have in sports news for now, so without further ado, the man who is behind getting us hear, please welcome one of the greatest minds of today, Matt, head of Movie Lord Productions!
Matt comes running from off-screen and takes a seat next to George Grande.
Matt - Thank you, it’s great to be here, and I love to be with you guys right now.
George - Thanks for putting us back on TV.
Matt - It’s all I could do after finding out that you would do it for free.
Greg - Well, it has been an honor. So Matt, let’s start with your likes and dislikes.
Matt - Sounds great to me.
George - Alright, in 10 seconds, tell me all of the teams that you like, starting with your favorites, and we’ll see how many you can name off.
Matt - Alright.
George - The timer starts…. Now!
Matt - Green Bay Packers, North Carolina Tar Heels, Milwaukee Bucks, Ohio State, Buffalo Sabres…
George - Time’s up, and you only named off 5 teams?
Matt - It’s my first time actually being on live TV, I’m sorry.
George - Well, you said you like the Packers. Happy or sad that the Giants, the team that beat your team to get to the Super Bowl won the Super Bowl?
Matt - Honestly, couldn’t be happier about that. Nothing would have upset me more than seeing the Patriots complete a perfect season. Not after cheating.
George - But it was only in one game.
Matt - Cheating is cheating. I don’t care if it was in one game, ten games, or even sixteen games, the point is, they cheated.
George - I see where you’re going with this. To end the night, tell us three things that most people don’t know about you.
Matt - Alright. First, I’m not as much a Milwaukee Bucks fan as I am a Michael Redd fan. I’m a huge fan of Michael Redd, which is why I’m a Bucks fan.
George nods.
Matt - My favorite hockey players are Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretsky, and Jarimir Jagr, even though I’m a Sabres fan.
George - And…
Matt - And, I love animals.
Greg - Now you’re not going to get some dogs into a fight now are you? Because the last time someone said they loved animals, that was the turnout.
Matt - No, I promise.
Greg - Well, thanks for coming.
George and Greg look at the camera.
George - That’s all we have for you ladies and gentlemen, good night and take care!
