Rod Gilbert and Adam Graves are scheduled to appear on Ch. 5's "Good Day New York" Friday morning to talk about the playoffs.
Why am I mentioning this? I have no idea. When am I going to start telling these friendly p.r. people who reach out to me to just buy an ad?
Why don't I tell Ch. 5 that I'll plug their hockey segment if they plug my Friday newspaper column about the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry?
Why don't I stand up for myself and the dignity (and profits) of the newspaper industry? I'm going to start doing just that after this post.
But right now I have to concentrate on not gagging listening to Mike Tirico wax poetic about the Masters and its tradition and blah, blah, blah.
Stop it, now! I'm never going to make it to Sunday at 7 p.m.
Someone find Chris Berman and give him a mike!
(UPDATE: What I did not know when I made fun of Ch. 5 here is that it turns out Gilbert and Graves were appearing on behalf of the "Garden of Dreams Foundation" and thus for a good cause for which I am happy to provide free publicity.)

If the newsreader calls him "Rod Gill-bert" instead of " Rod Joe-Bear" I'll have a conniption!
