Liz Drabick has to keep her eyes on a variety of sports on a daily basis, reporting the news on the radio with her summaries of multiple stories in a very short span of time. Rob from GuysNation took a few moments of her time to get a sports round-up. (the majority of this interview took place on Wednesday)
Rob: How about last night’s draft lottery? Happy for the Cavs? Does it make you a believer in sports karma?
Liz Drabick: Last night’s draft lottery was the NBA at it’s fixed-est. Harkens back to the days of Patrick Ewing and the tainted envelope.
Rob: For the here-and-now NBA, which conference r u more interested in, Chicago/Miami or OKCity/Dallas? And how about those Memphis Grizzlies?
Drabick: Mostly I just miss saying THUNDERNUGGETS. LeBron is fascinating for his villification; Durant for his white swan-ness.
Rob: Now that the Caps aren’t involved, are you still checking in on the Stanley Cup Playoffs?
Drabick: I’m aware that hockeys playoffs are ongoing but that’s my job’s fault. A pair of Caps early exits and I’m off the postseason reservation.
Rob: A quarter of the way through the MLB season, anything jumping out at you?
Drabick: The Indians, pitching, pitching, the Yankees Bronx Zoo 2.0, pitching and how terrible Joe Buck is when interviewing Sara Silverman.
Rob: How are you liking your NASCAR season so far? Some fairly wild finishes the past few months…
Drabick: Whenever a driver punches another driver through the window, that’s a banner year of race-watching.
Rob: Is anything interesting happening with PGA golf, other than Tiger Woods going limp and having to pull-out early? (see what i did there?)
Drabick: Cleverly done. General answer: No. My answer: The Euro’s and young guns are spectacular to watch. (I’m a sucker for white belts.) Plus the US Open will be played in our backyard! I’ll be on a golf stakeout.
Rob: When do you think the NFL lockout will be over?
Drabick: I hope the lockout’s over 3 weeks into the schedule when they can still catch up. Otherwise I think it’ll be a completely lost season.
Rob: Who do you think the Wizards will draft?
Drabick: The Wizards will draft someone we’ve never heard of and just this side or Mr. Irrelevant unless they can package their picks and trade up.
Rob: How cool are those new Wizards uniforms?
Drabick: Those Wizards unis are bad. Ass. Too bad it’s just a setup for renaming them the Monuments. Blech.
Rob: Better chance of keeping his job: Bruce Boudreau or Alex Semin?
Drabick: Ooh, I’d pay to see Boudreau vs. Semin in a cage match. Should be Semin who’s let go first. Emphasis on should.
Rob: Will Albert Haynesworth or Donovan McNabb be a Washington Redskin when the second game of the season hits?
Drabick: No. No, no, no, no, no. Do not want either of them a Redskin when the season starts. Which means they’ll both be on the roster.

No worries, Liz… Albert might be in jumpsuit orange at the rate he’s going. And you Washington fans wondered why us Tennessee fans cackled when you got him.
