Allllllllright. The Pack won on Monday night. Sweet game and a sweet result. A Rod looked good. I know I have been critical of the kid in the past but if he plays like he did on Monday night against the queens, we are all good. NOW it was against the queens, the crappyiest team ever, so he should not get a big head. After all a lot of that credit needs to go to me for my goatee shave. That's right, now that I have shaved the 'Rodgers' cut in my goatee, he will continue to win. Not to mention I am starting a huge craze for this style cut all over the nation. I made Packer Palace dot com THE place for all things Packer. Well, besides TundraTalk. Sweet coverage of my goat. Nice. No way I can shave it now. In the infamous words of Crash Davis..."Never Fu#k with a streak".
Another thing that is nice is that Scott Dahl, of the Minneapple Dahls, and Gene Principe, of the Edmonton Sportsnet Principes, both lost bets to me. Suckers. I now am owed 12 Leinies from Dahler and supper from Principe. I love it when a plan comes together.
A few other things to take care of before I get to the classic video to show you. Brett Favre made
it to Regina. Thats right, I saw him the other day on Albert Street. I managed to snap a picture of him. Have a look... Nice huh? It is great that he made the trip to Regina to visit. He really is not gone, he is always with me in my travels up and down Albert here in Regina. I guess you could say Number 4 is my co pilot. Speaking of Number 4 Jenna Leith, of the Regina Leiths, is going to see him play this weekend in NY and I have been promised a program 
from the game. Nice. Mom, of the Phoenix Mom's, sent me this picture she snapped in Wisconsin the other weekend.NEXT: Speaking of parents. I have the update on the Ahman Green Car raffle. All of my postive thinking and sending out the good vibes did not over ride all the negative thinking of my parents. Every time I
spoke with them I told them that it is their car. They WILL win it. Done deal. They would always reply with, and I quote, "Yeah right". You can't go into a situation like this with an attitude that you will not win. Dumb, Dumb, Dumb. Anyway, needless to say they did not 
win. DAMN. I already had a trip planned in this car. That is a pic of my dad and my aunt standing next to the car. She got a key, they had a party going on so they sat around and waited then Betty got in the car, tried to start it, and.....nothing. Too bad.So they also did not also win the trip to Texas for the game. Oh well. They got an autographed Ahman Green football. Nice. It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine. That ball will look great next to the Number 4 ball.
NEXT: Robby DuPuis, of the Minneapple DuPuis, spent some time at the RNC in St. Paul last week. Here is his account of all those crazy white people who proclaim to want 'change', but I ain't buying it since they are the reason there are so many problems....
Here's a few photos from my time at the RNC though they're not very exciting. I was only in the building on Tuesday and Wednesday and (thankfully) didn't have
to deal with the anarchists. There's a few photos from our studio suite in the Xcel, a couple outside (security entrance and snipers on the roof) and inside the Fox News Channel tent (which was huge).
The week as a whole was a lot easier (for me) than I expected, but the entire production was MUCH larger that I anticipated. Two
police officers on every corner of downtown St. Paul and the security zone was quite large and heavily guarded. That's it. No exciting stories. Saw a few famous talking heads from cable news channels (which doesn't do much for me since I think their part of the problem and not helping matters) and a couple of polititians (same comment there).
I posted an album on Facebook if you're a facebooker.
Peace, rob
Thanks Robby for the update. Looks like you missed out on most of the crazy rich people speeches. Good Job.
NEXT: Now we get to the goods. I recently was cleaning my shed when I stumbled into the boxes of tapes that I have amassed in my TV career and I found some stuff I wanted to share with you. I am not going to give all of it up today, I am going to spread it out a bit over a few weeks. Just to keep you coming back. That my friends, is what we in the biz call a 'tease'. Nice.
First up is a classic Peterson video from around 1998. Right after There's Something About Mary came out. Of course you know that the greatest QB of all times made his screen debut in that film and took off like rockets. Well, I heard that a local golf tournament in Sheboygan, I love saying that name, Sheboygan, was having as a special celebrity guest Chris Elliot. My favorite comedic actor. Those of you who worked with me back in Bismarck remember the Christmas that I gave everyone in the building, that I wanted to, a copy of his book, Daddy's Boy. I am a huge fan, so of course I insisted that I get to go and cover this.
Of course my angles was that Brett Favre was in the movie with him and I could ask him about
it. Bingo I get the green light to go. It was in the evening so I decided to take Donna with me for company. It also just happened to be a week when my parents were visiting. Sooooo they went also. Really kinda unprofessional of me, but that is one thing I have NEVER claimed to be was professional.I of course was going to conduct the interview. Now that is not a big deal, but I do not beleive that I had ever done it before this. Those of you who take the time to listen to the TT Podcast know that I am not, like Roy Firestone, the best interviewer in the business. I, in fact, really suck. I was really nervous when I sat him down for the interview and did not remember any of the questions I had thought of. I now write them down. As you can see when you watch the interview he is a bit annoyed with my style, or lack there of, and cut me down on several occaisions. Chris is a guy who used to write for Dave Letterman back in the NBC days. He is the king of sarcasm and loves to take shots at people. He took many at me. But by the end of the interview I made him laugh and it was all good.

After the interview I had him sign my copy of Daddy's Boy, which he could not believe I had, and took a few pics. One of which was our Christmas card in 1998. Oh, I also remember when I introduced myself to him I told him my name was Chris Peterson, and he said "Shut up you are lying" I showed him my DL and he laughed and said "Do you live over your parents garage?" I said no, but these are my parents. He just rolled his eyes, laughed and sat down. Way cool. In case you do not know he had a sit com on FOX called Get a Life that his characters name was Chris Peterson. He was also a paper boy in that show. Great Show.
Anyway this is the first in many videos that I will show you that are very funny in a self depricating way. Enjoy.
Have a great weekend and GET BACK TO WORK!!!!
