"yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaa" - JEEZY
yep. Tonight I'm interviewing Chief Zee, live on WCBG. Pretty sweet isn't it? Zee sounds pretty flattered by the whole thing too and I'm really excited. I've got a slew of questions lined up for him and he assured me he's ready to knock down whatever I throw at him. From CBS Sportsine:
He's a spritely mid-60s former Florida-born sharecropper who stumbled into the role of Chief Zee one Monday night back in '78 during a Redskins victory over the Cowboys. Howard Cosell took notice of a Redskins fan (known back then solely as Zema Williams) with a rubber tomahawk and funky outfit. The rest is, well, history.
A history that included getting beat up by Eagles fans, befriending the Cowboys' superfan, Crazy Ray, and becoming a local legend in the D.C. area and automotive market. His popularity erupted so much so, he ended up in the Hall of Fame as a superfan.
He's not a mascot in the true sense of the word, but like that famous fictional hog (get it, the Redskins and the Hogs...steeee-rike two) Babe, he's capable of great things -- like surviving an aneurysm, gangrene that led to toe amputation and buying into Jim Zorn as a head coach.
In addition, we'll nail out every team in the NFL with our predictions for both the AFC and NFC, including pick ems for this week's games. Being in New York, we're also gonna look at the current positions of both the Mets and Yankees and look to take some calls for fans from both squads. If time permits, I also want to get into people's opinion on replays in baseball as well as the role technology should play in sports in general. If for some reason there's even more time left, we'll talk some fantasy, break down our lineups, and take calls from people to hear who they're playing with as well. Should make for an AWESOME first show.
Unfortunately, this week's show will not be heard live streaming on wcbg.wagner.edu this evening. However, the stream should be up and running next week. Most importantly, I've got all of my recording methods in place and I'll have an audio Podcast version of the show for download either tonight after the show or tomorrow morning.
so that's this week in a very condensed outline. Hopefully we get some students participating, I've told a ton of people who already assured me that they had noticed the fliers. Plus word is getting out that I've got some sweet prizes too and that should also help my ratings(<--haha). Be on the lookout for the link to download the show and keep visiting the site.
