quick takes: newscenter 5 at 5 12/09/2009

mike dowling: the third banana is in foxboro to tell us about the new baby brady.  jesus, mike's got more liver spots than a VFW full of guys who stormed omaha beach. (-65 points)  mike's report has a clip of belichick giving a deadpan breakdown of tom brady vs. baby brady including a comment about the baby brady being able to run faster than tom.  funny stuff.


breaking news: coming out of dowling's report, ed harding sucks the air out of the studio with a baby brady joke as lame as chief robert t. ironside. (-25 points)

liz brunner: as i listen to her banter with ed harding, i can't help but suspect that liz is one big phony. (-13 points)  she does look good during her stand ups in her snug black pants. 

john atwater: it snowed today so john has the obligatory report reminding us how much worse the snow is for people in worcester.  john interviews a guy from fairbanks alaska kind enough to help extricate another guy's stuck truck - even with a cast on his wrist.  (15 points).  john looks like a thin ivan drago.   

harvey leonard: harvey's smart to remind the channel 5 audience that snow is heavy and that shoveling it strains the heart.  he says this with genuine concern.  it's important for harvey to emphasize this as the average age of the newscenter 5 audience is 58.  harvey is one of the few bright spots at 5.  (15 points). 

the owners of buttercup farm in sterling ct. have a special calf they have named "moses".  moses is a 1 week old brown calf with a white patch on its forehead roughly the shape of a cross.  a woman at the farm says that moses "really looks at you when you talk to him.  he has a look in his eye like he wants to tell you something."  sure he does.
