Not that there's anything wrong with it...

This from the media column by Michael McCarthy in USA TODAY:

...Federal prosecutors will not press criminal charges against a federal lawyer-turned part-time Fox statistician who improperly arranged for U.S. Marshals to drive Aikman, Joe Buck and Tim McCarver to last year's Super Bowl and 2007 World Series games. Fox's Dan Bell said the network was "unaware" the rides "were in any way inappropriate." Aikman told Newsday's Neil Best they had no idea "anything was going on that shouldn't have been going on."

Now I can just see Troy and Buck in the back of the limo...


Troy: Right here, Joe, you can see that the driver is going to take a left.

Buck: Not what I was expecting. I thought he may go right. Excellent fake.

Troy: Yeah, he's gonna go left. He wants you to think he's going right, but he is going to go left. Stop the tape right here, guys. Watch what he does here. He'll freeze the traffic at the four way by creeping out into the intersection....then he is going to hit the blinker and take the left in front of that box truck. The dispatcher, Artie Feldman, told me in our meetings that it was important for our driver to stop at the four-way to freeze the oncoming traffic. Then, after a little hesitation, he starts creeping out into the traffic. No one knows where he wants to go. Then he flips on the blinker and he takes his left while the rest of them are stuck there watching the whole thing happen.

Buck: I love you, Troy.

Troy: What?

Buck: Nothing. Hey, do you like Chinese food?
