[Greg Ambrosius]

Oh my. The 'stache is spot on!

So was the hair in the '70s.

I have bigger pipes, but he had a better voice.

[Greg Ambrosius]

Aside from the constant bitching, whining, and complaining, what is your least favorite part of the job?

Aside from that I would say the least favorite part of this job is the constant bitching, whining and complaining.

[Greg Ambrosius]

Back at Iola Hqtrs who's the residing champ ?

C'mon Jupinka, you know we've progressed from Pong. We have Pacman in the office and Tom CAN'T touch me there!!

"Can you help me win ONE LABR title Childs? All I ask is ONE "

"Can you help me win ONE LABR title Childs? All I ask is ONE "

Actually the quote is "Childs, you had to go 1 FREAKIN' DOLLAR MORE for Mark Teixeira!!! REALLY?"

[Greg Ambrosius]

Greg:

For the 10th Anniversary, you've been invited to skydive into the Grand Canyon
With Brian Cashman. Cash informs you that you are allowed to bring two guests. This is
easy for you. Shawn Childs is a given and you can't get anybody else to agree to jump out
A plane. Therefore, Tom is told if he wants to see Vegas, he must join the group.

When you reach maximum altitude, Cashman informs you that he has a problem. Looks
Like they only packed three parachutes and he is taking the first. It falls on you on how to
Distribute the other parachutes. Will Shawn figure out how to get everybody to the groud
Safely? Will you give Tom a parachute and ride Shawn's back to safety? Is Tom simply the odd
Man out?

Thanks, Shawn's Ball Busting Pal from Jersey

Ps- you asked for Smart Ass!

I mean, this is easy. What's Cashman, about 5'2" now with a broken ankle? The three of us easily kick his ass out the door and all three NFBC guys parachute to safety. How dumb do you think we are??

ONE SOAP FOR YOU !!!


Tom asking Greg for a room amenity upgrade at Hotel Penn in 3 weeks

I got that upgrade locked in already.

[Greg Ambrosius]

Aside from the constant bitching, whining, and complaining, what is your least favorite part of the job?

Okay, I'll answer this question seriously. The least favorite part of this job is not being able to fix items that seem life and death to our customers. We are not programmers. We are not in charge of the technology side that everyone here relies on. Tom and I are both computer illiterate, so we'll never be programmers. Hell, when I go over to Tom's place he has this massive clock over his TV that is 45 minutes off. Not an hour, like when the time changes. FORTY-FIVE MINUTES!! Dudes, we aren't even able to change our clocks to the right time!!!

But we know what folks want on the technology side and we wish we could fix it. And when we can't and when folks call us names or keep hounding us to get it done it's frustrating. It's a helpless feeling. I never felt more helpless in my entire life than April of 2010 -- yes, THE ENTIRE MONTH OF APRIL!!! We were on a technology island with Fanball and there was nothing we could do to fix the problem. And that's the most frustrating part of this job.

But I honestly know that we are ALL IN on the technology development here at STATS. We plan on being the best and I think we will be. We have the guys in place and the commitment in place to get it done on the technology side and once we do the sky is the limit with all of our contests. I really do believe that we've just touched the surface of where this contest will go in the near future.

I keep planning to fix that. I can fix it; just haven't gotten around to it yet. It's not my only clock. I know what time it is.

Listen, I'm not complaining about a clock that is 45 minutes early this week and by next week will be 15 minutes late. I can adjust. And besides, I've trained you so well that there's now always a 6-pack of Corona in your refrigerator when I come over. THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!!

And the fact that you went out and bought a 99 cent bottle opener for me is even more impressive and heartwarming!!

[Greg Ambrosius]

The title does have Smart Ass in it, but it also has Q&A in it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't there just been one legitimate question asked already? And I'm not talking about rebel rouser Jupinka asking who is better at Pong, me or Tom!! Questions boys, questions. Then answers, answers.

Ok Greg, here you go. In LABR, which players surprised you most value-wise? Doesn't have to be star players. Which players went higher and/ or lower than expected?

[Tom Kessenich]

We don't play any music but I am a big fan of Nicole Zaloumis on NFL AM.
