About Zino's top 10

It all started with the Padres and their losing ways... They inspired me to write a list of reasons why they stunk. I was laughing out loud writing it, yes I know I laugh at my own jokes, and thought it might be fun to share the list with others.
I love the Scott & BR show on XX1090 am, my kids and I listen to it every morning on the way to school, and so I thought the two of them reading it on their show would really be fun. I sent the list to Scott and Marty (morning show producer), and was surprised to quickly get a positive response from Scott. There was one catch though, he wanted me to do it on the air...
I can have a fairly thick accent, particularly early in the morning, but Scott really wanted me to do it, and so I did. It was apparently well received, although I think they liked the name zino more then the top 10 list, and so they wanted me to do it again and so I did...
I sent the 2nd radio bit to a few friends and they all wanted me to keep sending it to them. I created this blog to share the lists with them and all the Scott & BR fans.
Please jump in and comment, on the lists or anything you care about, I enjoy the feedback...

Top 10 reasons Chargers should resign Darren Sproles

Chargers fever continues to burn in San Diego and after last weeks Chargers win, I had to do this list. Sproles was spectacular in Saturday's playoff win over the Colts. The list was well received, but over the last three weeks, it has not been as much fun, at least for me. I am starting to feel the strain that the layoffs at XX1090 have put on the staff.... I will give it a few more weeks to see if things improve and decide how to proceed, I am thinking of perhaps having the list be event driven, rather then every Wednesday. Probably will discuss this with Scott & BR in the near future.

Top 10 reasons Chargers should resign Darren Sproles ----> Click Here To Listen.

10) Its a bird, its a plane.... its SuperSproles

9) He can deliver the OJ's pizza faster then LT

8) He can leap tall lineman in a single bound

7) He can also be used as a pinch runner for the Padres in the off season

6) He doesn't do interviews, but his running is loud and clear

5) He is the only back small enough to run through the tiny holes our OL opens

4) Marty said the rest of him is very big

3) He doesn't always drink beer but when he does its Coors Light

2) He has not gone through his growth spurt yet

And the # 1 reason Chargers should resign Sproles....

1) Sproles is big enough to take a cab home when out drinking until 2:00 am

Top 10 reasons Plaxico Burress shot himself

This week was a lot of fun. I put the topic and a few of the reasons Plaxico shot himself up on the great friend forum in the Scott & BR website... The traffic on that website is anemic, but it still got some 120 views and at last check. Anyway I put up a poll for the great friends to vote on some of the reasons I was on the fence with.... The one that won made it as #10...
The show was also fun, but the producer called me the day before and wanted me to do it at 6:10 am, so I am sure a lot of the regular listeners missed it. Anyway here is the list as well as a few extras... Click here to listen to the show

10) He shot himself in self defense!

9) Coach Tom Coughlin told him...he better have a good excuse next time he needs to miss a team meeting…
8) He invested all 35 million dollars from his last contract in AIG and Lehman Brothers
7) He wants to be traded the Bengal's or Cowboys next year
6 ) Pac Man Jones double dared him to do it!
5) He and Antonio Pierce were sipping vodka cranberries, listening to Lil Wayne, and had hoochies grind them …the brother shot his load…
4) He was desperate for Eli Manning to pay attention to him
3) Rumor has it OJ had someone shoot him because he had stolen some of his memorabilia...
2) Every one should carry a gun for protection sometimes, all of the time, most of the time

1) He heard he was going to be traded to the chargers!

Here are the leftovers ....
He was practicing an end zone celebration dance
He bought the gun to go hunting with Dick Cheney
He was scratching a bad case of jock itch
He shot heself but he didn't shoot no deputy
T.O. was getting to much attention
He wanted to be called oucho cinquo

My last two top 10 lists


This has been a fun week. I went in studio at the request of the producer. I had three lists ready and he wanted Scott and BR to chose... This turned into my longest appearance on the show ( 15 minutes). As always things did not go as planned and some funny stuff came out of it. I had also brought in some Texas style donuts. Scott and BR could not believe the size of them.


Top 10 candidates for Aztecs oversight committee. Take a listen


The week before was also fun, but I initially, I was not to happy.... I received a request the day before to do a list on the Padres rescinding their offer to Trevor Hoffman. It preempted a couple of lists I had ready to go that I was happy with. Thankfully, the list wrote itself and it ended up a pretty good show.

We took a couple of pics we took while I was in studio. The one you see here is with Scott. I had one with both Scott and BR but it did not come out right.

Catch up top 10 lists

I have not done good job updating the blog lately and feel bad about it, some of you made sure I felt bad, lol.... I think I am behind by 5 or more lists. In order to catch up I will post all of the missing lists today. A lot has happened since I last posted. One thing that I am very happy about is an increased participation by the listeners. In fact 3 of the lists were inspired by fans of the Scott and BR show. Including Tom who is always on top of the Padres and Mike who has made hating the Patriots an art form. I am adding his blog to the list of blogs. This has made me realized that I must get Scott & BR to add the blog to their website. Anyway, over this quiet blog time, I've had what I think is my best list as well as a couple of stinkers. I wont say which one I liked best and will let you figure it out. I've also added the ability to subscribe to the blog, so that you are notified when I have a new post, go to the bottom of the page and click on the subscribe "post" link.

Top 10 reasons Chargers lost the game

This was a fun week. The list was well received but I threw them a curve ball. As you know, if you are a regular listener to the show, Scott & BR always complain that my number 10 is better then my number one. So this time, after writing the list, I reversed the order. Well wouldn't you know it, they still liked the number 10 better. I'll let you imagine what that means, lol... Next week, I am pulling the order out of a hat...

Top 10 reasons Chargers lost the game

1) Trevor came in as a nickel back on the last play
2) Padres talent scouts were very impressed with Matt Wilhelm speed
3) Even Miss Teen South Carolina knows Norv is going to run LT on first down
4) Cromartie should try getting one interception before thinking of the NFL record
5) Winning did not work to get a new stadium, so now they are trying out a new strategy
6) Wanted to show solidarity with the Padres and Aztecs
7) Eric Wedle might be shorter then Bob Costas
8) Meriman insistence on playing with a bum knee
9) Norv Turner genius play calling on 1st downs

And the number on reason Chargers lost the game

10) Ted Cotrell bend over and hand over the lube defense
