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 Chargers lost the game

This was a fun week. The list was well received but I threw them a curve ball. As you know, if you are a regular listener to the show, Scott & BR always complain that my number 10 is better then my number one. So this time, after writing the list, I reversed the order. Well wouldn't you know it, they still liked the number 10 better. I'll let you imagine what that means, lol... Next week, I am pulling the order out of a hat...

Top 10 reasons Chargers lost the game

1) Trevor came in as a nickel back on the last play
2) Padres talent scouts were very impressed with Matt Wilhelm speed
3) Even Miss Teen South Carolina knows Norv is going to run LT on first down
4) Cromartie should try getting one interception before thinking of the NFL record
5) Winning did not work to get a new stadium, so now they are trying out a new strategy
6) Wanted to show solidarity with the Padres and Aztecs
7) Eric Wedle might be shorter then Bob Costas
8) Meriman insistence on playing with a bum knee
9) Norv Turner genius play calling on 1st downs

And the number on reason Chargers lost the game

10) Ted Cotrell bend over and hand over the lube defense

Top 10 reasons I had more fun going to the Del Mar races then going to Petco

Wednesday was the last day of the races at Del Mar, so I thought it apropos to do something on horse racing. I truly enjoy going to the races, its a beautiful setting and this year, I even won an $84 exacta. In addition my wife and I go there every year at the Turf Club, we bid on that at the charity dinner at our kids school and always end up getting it... I always tell my wife its for a good cause. So here it is, and if you prefer to listen to it click on the link below the list.

Top 10 reasons I had more fun going to the Del mar races then going to Petco

10) The Padres suck
9) At Petco you can’t bet on the guy rounding third and heading for home plate
8) Better looking hats
7) they don’t stop serving beer after the seventh race
6) You can’t whip the players to make them run faster
5) Gorgeous women with tanned legs, in short summer dresses
4) You were virtually assured to make money if you bet on a GFS horse
3) You are likely to run into Scott tearing up his betting tickets
2) If a horse gets hurt, you can put him down
1) There was actual speed on the field

I am having a tough time uploading this week's mp3 of the radio show, but I will continue to try...
