The interview spoke of what our players would do if they won the whole thing! Tom has five kids nearing college; Brad needs a new Porsche!
FIRST RESPONSES was interesting, it was a category where none of the responses had ever come up before! I’m surprised that they’d never done anything on Family Circus’ Bil Keane, though!
