I don't know whether I have ten favorite anythings, but here's short hijack:
When I worked for the then NBC Owned TV station here in Denver (we call that an O&O for owned and operated -- and the station is now owned by CBS), I did a fair amount of field producing and freelance directing for NBC Sports.
One time they asked their Colorado Springs affilliate (not O&O) to do a live insert with Jill for them. The station refused (saying they didn't have the facilities -- which was partially true), so I went down with a satellite truck and a couple of guys and we did the pickup.
We originated out of Jill's apartment. When she answered my knock on her door, I just about melted.
What a beautiful young woman. And, although nervous about her interview and having three or four unknown men hanging around, she was also really nice and gracious.
Then, I was at a SuperBowl in New Orleans and got bored with a runaway game and went to Pat O'Briens to listen to the second half and drink a Hurricane or two. Scott Hamilton and a group of guys were drinking at the next table on the patio.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled top ten lists...
