VANDENBROEK, Wis. (July 6, 2002 9:12 p.m. EDT) - Actor Tom Arnold and former All-Star John Kruk, co-hosts of a TV sports show, can't deny the Wisconsin flavor surrounding the baseball All-Star Game.
Not when their likenesses have been captured in a 150-pound sculpture in cheese.
The cheddar block was transported Friday to Milwaukee's Miller Park, the site of Tuesday's game.
Fox Sports Net commissioned the busts of its "Best Damn Sports Show Period" hosts, cheese carver Troy Landwehr said.
The carving "took a couple days, because of all the drawing and thinking you have to do," he said. "You only get one shot at this carving. You can only buy the cheese once."
I know what you mean. What higher honor than to be immortalized in a block of cheddar?
Then, Buddy follows up last night by declaring it a tie. Un-freakin'-believable.
I have the same feeling towards the Pro Bowl. The players in the Pro Bowl are not playing with the same zeal as they do in a playoff game. Not even close. They're more interested in getting to Hawaii. The game is incidental.
