Being interviewed for the nightly news

Originally uploaded by MalevolentDust

A group of us from JWT were out to lunch at Champps today and FOX News interviewed a few of us about the current hullabaloo regarding Fantasy Football.

Apparently, four guys got fired from their job for participating in Fantasy Football at work. Their company has a strict policy against gambling (obviously NOT an advertising/marketing firm!) and these guys got terminated due to it. SUCKS to be them.

Anyway, I don’t play but certainly don’t see any harm in it as long as it doesn’t interfere with people getting their jobs done. So that’s what I told the news.

Will I get 15 seconds of fame (or even 5 seconds)? I don’t know – it was footage for the 4 o’clock news and I’ll be working — not watching tv!
