1-800-WHAT-THE???
Tonight the NFL is doing a big hurricane relief charity drive. Regis is helping host, and they are encouraging you to call in to make a donation to the Bush/Clinton charity. (The SwankPoet household considered making a donation to the Bush/Clinton charity yesterday, but we couldn't find favorable information on how much money is swiped away for administrative stuff, so we went safe and gave to the Red Cross.)
It's a telethon! And to encourage you to call in they've got a stage-full of NFL hall of famers that might take your call. Of course, there are only like 10-20 guys on stage, so chances are a taiwanese child working in a sweatshop will get the call, but we are going to gloss over that little bit right now.
Call in and you might get on the phone with the likes of Donovan McNabb, John Elway, Gale Sayers, Howie Long, Bart Starr, or Tony Danza. Yep, you read that right - Tony Danza. Now, if this was a boxing match telethon I could almost understand it, as he always seemed to be playing boxers on TV (although I'd be a bit worried if I were watching a boxing telethon, but enough tangents already). But what the HECK is he doing sitting amongst some of the greatest football players ever answering the phone calls?
I've figured it out. He must have won a contest. They always say employees and their families aren't eligible to win, but the rules never say anything about famous people. Personally, if I WERE to call in and Tony Danza were to answer the phone I'd demand he pay me.
