THE STEVE COOK MORNING NEWSCAST

STEVE:
It's an exciting day here at ACI. This is my first blog morning news cast. I'm Steve Cook, and joining me is our "news gal" Alycia Sanchez, our weather guru, Guy Beazley, and with the sports, Mac MacMacson. Alycia, since we announced we'd be doing a blog newscast, we've been deluged with positive letters and calls.

ALYCIA:
Right Steve, and speaking of deluges, I think Guy Beazley is calling for a deluge today. Right Guy?

GUY:
Well, not exactly a deluge, but we'll have some rain. That's for sure. You'll never guess how much.

STEVE:
Why don't you just tell us Guy?

GUY:
All in good time. Steve. All in good time.

ALYCIA:
Speaking of good times, one of the two teams playing Monday night football had a good time last night. Right Mac?

MAC:
Right you are Alycia. You'll never guess who won last night's game, and how much they won by, and why Philadephia fans are so upset this morning. Oops. I slipped and revealed the loser.

ALYCIA:
Speaking of slipping, there was a tragic accident last night. Right Steve?

STEVE:
Yes, Alycia. On a more serious note, there was an...

ALYCIA:
Speaking of serious notes, I'm noting that the weather is going to be wet today. Right Guy?

GUY:
You won't believe what it's going to be doing on your ride home this afternoon. I'll have the details later in our news.

ALYCIA:
Speaking of details, Steve has all the details on a fire in the West End last night. Right Steve?

STEVE
Yes, Alycia...

MAC
Did someone say fire. Philadelphia fans may be regretting the firing of Terrell Owens, this morning.

GUY:
Fires are hot, folks, and that's what we're going to be seeing around here today...unseasonably warm temperatures.

ALYCIA:
Speaking of seasons, the college football season is down to a few weeks left, and there are some big games coming up this weekend. Right Mac?

MAC
Alycia, you couldn't be righter. You'll never guess who UVA will be playing this weekend.

STEVE:
I don't think we need to guess Mac. Everyone is talking about the big annual rivalry between UVA and Virginia Tech. We all know about that. What kind of idiot are you Mac?

GUY:
Speaking of idiots, you'd be an idiot to go out without an umbrella today, folks. You won't believe what will be falling from the sky this afternoon.

STEVE
Guy, are you a moron? If you tell us to take an umbrella, it's pretty obvious what's going to be falling from the sky.

ALYCIA:
Speaking of obvious, it's pretty obvious that someone, namely Steve, got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

MAC:
Speaking about getting up, if you went to bed thinking Philadelphia beat Dallas in last night's gridiron action, you'd not only be wrong, but you'll never guess who came from behind in the final minutes of the game and beat Philadelphia.

STEVE:
Mac, it was Dallas playing Philadephia, right?

MAC:
Right you are Steve, and you'll never guess...

STEVE:
Hold it. So, if someone beat Philadelphia, it would have to be Dallas, right?

MAC:
Well, you don't have to get so testy. Now you've given the whole thing away. Hey, I bet they won't guess what the final score is. I'll give you five guesses...no make that ten.

STEVE:
Make that none Mac. You'll never guess who I'm firing. It's Mac...

GUY:
Hey, you didn't give me time to guess. I was going to say Alycia.

STEVE:
And, you'd have been right Guy. In fact, if you'd guessed yourself, you'd be right as well. This is ridiculous.

ALYCIA:
Speaking of ridiculous, there was another senseless murder last night.

GUY:
Hold on. Can I take a guess at who was murdered.
