About Zino's top 10

It all started with the Padres and their losing ways... They inspired me to write a list of reasons why they stunk. I was laughing out loud writing it, yes I know I laugh at my own jokes, and thought it might be fun to share the list with others.
I love the Scott & BR show on XX1090 am, my kids and I listen to it every morning on the way to school, and so I thought the two of them reading it on their show would really be fun. I sent the list to Scott and Marty (morning show producer), and was surprised to quickly get a positive response from Scott. There was one catch though, he wanted me to do it on the air...
I can have a fairly thick accent, particularly early in the morning, but Scott really wanted me to do it, and so I did. It was apparently well received, although I think they liked the name zino more then the top 10 list, and so they wanted me to do it again and so I did...
I sent the 2nd radio bit to a few friends and they all wanted me to keep sending it to them. I created this blog to share the lists with them and all the Scott & BR fans.
Please jump in and comment, on the lists or anything you care about, I enjoy the feedback...

Top 10 reasons US Open officials paired Tiger and Phil in the first 2 rounds

I had two lists this week, the first one was "Reasons why Obama should chose Hillary as his running mate". The other was about the US Open and I started working on it, literally the day before, and because Scott & BR were broadcasting from the Open, I ended up going with it. There was really no big controversies about the Open, the pairing of Tiger and Phil was the closest thing that I could come up with. Here is the list...

Top 10 reasons US Open officials paired Tiger and Phil in the first 2 rounds

10) Give Phil another chance to make fun of tiger's equipment
9) It's the only way Phil will get paired up with woods during the open
8) Keep up the interest of the fickle San Diego fans
7) No one cares about any of the other golfers
6) They had so much success playing together in the Ryder cup
5) ESPN doesn't have enough golf analysts to follow them separately
4) It's the only way Chris Berman agreed not to use their nicknames on the air.
(here I wanted Scott or BR to ask what the nicknames are)..Tiger "got some" Wood and Phil "my tank" Mickelson
3) No need for audio equipment to pick up conversations. They hate each other
2) ESPN wants fans to text vote for their favorite blond wife

And the number one reason US Open officials paired Tiger and Phil is...

1) So that Phil can get some tips on how to play the 18th hole at the US open.

The bit went over very well and everyone was happy with it except for me... I did not sound right, when I laughed it sounded like a Hyena and for whatever reasons, I could not hear them very well, so I missed a couple of marks... But I think the list itself saved the day. Take a listen...
