INTERVIEW WITH KATIE KELLY OF THE SPARKLING WIGGLES

1. What made you so attracted to Terry Shernisky? Was it his big crank?
Let's see...we've been dating for 4 years now so it's hard to remember why I was first attracted to him. He's just an all around awesome guy, he's really funny and extrememly protective so I have no worries around him. Umm..I liked his shaggy hair when we first started dating too and his flat ass. haha and he has that surf board body that all the girls love to ride.- jk that's his line! :) haha Oh and it was definetly his huge crank...

2. Assume you are taking part in a fantasy BASEketball draft for this season, which you are not eligible to be drafted. The first four picks are Nate Tomko, Bryan Frankovich, Terry Shernisky, and Mikey Moroco and you hold the fifth pick. Who do you select and why?
hmm...well since I can't pick myself...I would have to pick Biddle (if he continues to show up) because he has a good attitude, can shoot well, and has the heighth to get tons of double plays. Oh and he doesn't try too hard like cough-b.frank-cough does.

3. Who's the better player: you or Aryn Christman?
haha ME! aryn and I are both really good at basketball, but I guess baseketball is a little different. It's hard to differentiate though because we can both shoot well and have the ability to get double plays just like any guy. I can't choose though because that's my best friend and I love her to death so it's a tie! :)

4. If there were to be a mythical tournament between the four teams which you have played for (Serbian Jew Double Bluffs, Train On Terry Shernisky, Wet Dream Team, and Sparkling Wiggles), how would it go down? You can do the seeding yourself.
Serbian Jew Double Bluffs is definetly the best team ever (after the legendary PJ and the Ladies, which I wasn't around for). So they would come in first for sure, then Wet Dream Team, then TOTS, and Sparkling Wiggles would come is last simply because the whole team is rarely ever there.

5. Are there any players whom you have never played with that you would like to have on your team in 2008?
Most definetly! Biddle, Elliot, and Jamie "For sure Dude" Fabian- just because they are hilarious! But, we really need to get the Serbian Jews reunited for the 2008 season!

6. How do you feel about the newest SBL sensation, style points?
I think the style points are an awesome new stat- except I'm pissed I didn't get any for the sweet tackle I had on Mikey Morocco's Asian girlfriend...C'mon now!(Sorry, Billy gets the points for coming up with the idea.)
Is obtaining them a big deal to you? Um...not a big deal, no haha I'm not very stylish when it comes to baseketball, but I am rooting for Lenny to obtain the most or maybe Dennis with the chicken leg extravaganza.

7. I'm sure you are familiar with the preseason predictions page that Nate posts every year. Obviously, you know that you were not one of the SBL personalities slected to take part. With a two-week glance into the season, list your predictions.
oohh- well.

hmm....now Sharon all stars is a sore subject for me because I'm still pissed about last year when Billy picked Kip over me...just because I wasn't there and Kip was standing right in front of him- way to not have balls Billy! haha but seriously...this year I feel it should be Nate, Terry, Me, Aryn, and I was going to pick Billy until I saw that once again he picked Kip over me for this year so I will have to go with Jon O.
and... total jukebox hero wins: 5 max!

8. We all loved the two-on-two all-female scrum this past weekend. Let's take it a step further to every man's SBL fantasy, an every woman for herself scrum featuring every current female SBL player. What do you think your chances of winning are?
Well, we have some beasts in the league this year when it comes to females so i think that if I steered clear of them i have amazingly good chances. Sometimes I get the feeling that aryn and i are the least liked amongst the girls which is understood since we're the youngest and most immature, but if aryn an i joined forces, it would come down to just her and i for sure...and aryn is due for a good ass kickin'

9. You seem to have taken a step back from the single line more often this season than in your previous three seasons. Is this because of all the criticism of you being solely a singles shooter?
Nope...not at all I don't shoot from the single line any more simply because I leave that shot open for Danielle now. I never had to shoot from behind the double line in the past though because I was always on a team with outside shooters, but since nate informed me that he will be missing more often this year- I'm ready to prove to everyone that I have some range. (which I think i started to do last week at b.franks house)

10. Any chance we'll see you shoot some solo homers or grand slams in the future? Please?
Well I shot my first solo homer this past weekend and must say it was pretty fun, however; Nate was still in Indiana then. So, if he allows me or tells me to then sure I'll shoot some solo homers, I'm not trying to piss him off this season though by just shooting them for the thrill of it. And the grand slams...I'll leave those for Nate.
