Superbowl Chippy

A few months ago there was a local talent contest at the Woodpile Thanksgiving football game. Each contestant got to do the play-by-play broadcast announcing for ten minutes. I tried out just for the fun of it. I did pretty well I thought but I didn’t win. The Woodpile once again won the game and in all the excitement it never dawned on me that they never did announce the winner of the contest. This was a bit odd in hindsight.

On Friday morning 4am I was snugly in bed in my burrow. It was an arctic 5 degrees outside. I was sleeping soundly when I got a call from CSN. What your not familiar with CSN? This is international renowned Chipmunk Sports Network. They broadcast out of the subbasement at Gillette Stadium home of the New England Patriots. Apparently, I had won the contest and I was supposed to be in Atlanta but some assistant to the assistant dropped the ball and forget to let me know back in November. I needed to catch a 9am flight. I was a bit groggy and asked the caller why I needed to be in Atlanta …. “Chippy, you will be doing the live broadcast announcing for the Superbowl! We estimate CSN will have an audience of twenty-five million critter viewers.” “By the way, we have arranged for you to an interview with the GOAT.” Why would I want to interview a goat about the superbowl?
