This is the first segment of the April Fools 2009 episode of Around the Horn. In keeping with the show's tradition of playing pranks on that day, Woody Paige hosted the show. So you know already it's going to be an interesting show. The panelists today are Bill Plaschke, Tim Cowlishaw, Jay Mariotti, and in Woodys stead is Tony Reali (I didnt realize he had done six shows as a panelist prior to this show!). The topics for the First Word are John Calipari being hired as the new coach at Kentucky and (for Woody) the Denver Broncos being willing to trade Jay Cutler (which they eventually did to Chicago). Let's see how the bumpy ride starts! No copyright infringement is intended.
