Three Jennifers

As much as I hate to give props to them, it sounds like Fox might have a good segment this year in “Ten Yards with TB.” I talked with the Big Head Kid today, and he was telling me about it. According to the BHK, the gist is that Terry Bradshaw sits down with different football players and coaches and asks them random and/or silly questions, has them play word-association games (TB: “Playoffs” Ben Roethlisberger: “Disappointing.”), and generally tries to amuse himself and the home viewers.

One of those segments recently featured the Redskins’ Clinton Portis. Terry asked Clinton, “Which Jennifer: Lopez, Garner, or Aniston?” [Aside: I think this is an excellent question, but a hard one to answer. It deserves some serious thought and more discussion than I am going to give it in an aside. However, the short answer is … I can’t do it. I’ll have to answer this later.] Portis said that he didn’t know who Jennifer Garner is. Terry told him that she is dating/married to/shagging/with [I don’t know what exactly he said, and I don’t really know which is appropriate. I can only hope he pointed out that she was once the hot, cute, and charming star of Alias, but I’m not counting on it.] Ben Affleck. Portis replied that he thought Ben Affleck ought to go for Aniston, ‘cause then he’d have been with all 3.

Later, Terry asked Portis what he would do if he didn’t play football. Portis said, “I’d be Ben Affleck so I could date those 3 Jennifers.”

Apparently, Clinton got jokes.
