Was it ABBA? It is a major inside joke on Mike Greenberg's morning show on ESPN radio and ESPN2.

Yes, the answer was ABBA.

Did he mention that he often plays "Dancing Queen" on his show, especially around March Madness (and when Mel Kiper appears on the show)?

Mike? No, I don't think so. The telemarketer started going on a "Who the heck is ABBA?" riff, wondering why they weren't asking about some hip-hop group instead. The cabbie started listing the ABBA hits. "Mama Mia!"

No mention of "Mike & Mike" music inside jokes have been made. The previous day's Saddam/Whitney Houston question was also ripe for a mention of Greenie's devotion to Chad Pennington and the Jets.

Which is silly reasoning on so many levels. If the women all knock each other out, then the likelihood that any given woman makes it to the Final 4 would go down, right?

Not if only the women got a chance to play.

And that's not quite how it turned out, but look what group predominantly got left behind. Just as I predicted.

I have not seen the last two yet, they are on tape, but I will catch up on them this weekend.

This was said by Ms. Mensa, and I think it was a line of BS said by her. I think she could care less who wins if it is not herself, she just didn't want to look like she was ducking the males and picking the lone female, which is what her intentions were most likely. I was glad when she lost.

Many in the working public, pre-cheap cell phones, could not be available for one- or two-time only calls in the middle of the day. Many professionals were, either in their offices or through mobile phones supplied by their businesses. Hence, their disproportionate appearance in the hot seat. Whether they were boring or not is a matter of opinion.

I remember it well. I remember buying my first cell phone, one of those prepaid deals, just in case for WWTBAM, LOL. I paid an embarassing amount for it

Now I only have a cell phone as my main phone.

I hope SOX was watching Duel. He should be able to get another chapter for his book.
