Which professional sport would you play and why? Soccer. It’s legal to slide tackle on the field. Every time I do it to people in the grocery store or at the mall the cops show up. If you were not in TV news, what profession would you choose? I can’t even imagine. What’s something that no one knows about you? That I still wear my retainers at night. And sometimes when I’m jogging I fantasize about old rescues I went on years ago as a Virginia Beach lifeguard. It makes me train harder to think someone is drowning and I have to go save them.
