The NEXT ESPN Star

So picture this.  It’s 7:55 and you have a meeting at 8:45.  You’re 10 minutes from work and you still have to drop your kids off at daycare.  That takes, MAYBE, another ten minutes.  So you’re thinkin’, hey I’m good.  Then, BA’AM, you hit an accident less than two miles from work.  What’s worse?  You have the equipment for this meeting in your car!  So, you panic slightly and start to think of alternative arrangements when the accident lifts.  It’s 8:30.  You get to the ESPN parking lot in record time, say 8:33.  You have a decision.  Do I have enough time to drop off the kids?  Instantly, I say yes.  Then the voice of my father kicks in and says “Are you crazy?  You don’t have time.”  So, I rush into work with Ryan desperately trying to keep up and Cooper tucked very unsafely under my right arm in a sort of Heisman Trophy kind of way.  We get to my desk where I promptly load Netflix on my phone for Ryan and rush into the meeting with Cooper still tucked under my arm.  I setup our equipment and the meeting goes off without a hitch.  I’m a hero and Cooper is only slightly dazed from the trip.

After the ordeal, we took a moment to relax.  That’s when Ryan asked if he could check out one of the studios…and a star was born!  Now, I proudly introduce to you Ryan and Cooper In The Morning!
