That is some scary-assed shit right there.
I want Ted to go on vacation when they make this decision. His luck sucks at this.
As soon as the plane takes off, Mike can put all the candidates names in a hat.
Go get the combination plumber beverage dispenser repairman for the GBP, (how lucky is he as a plumber, after all--Mr. butt crack makes the big-time, plus if he gets a little thirsty he can "test the system" hopefully not confusing the drains with the beer taplines.)
Have the beer guy draw the name.
My bet is we have at least as good of a punter as our braintrust seems to be able to secure with all of their analysts and scouts.
Just keep Ted away from the decision. He should not be allowed to run with scissors OR pick punters...and I LIKE Ted.
