HAPPY TIME, PEOPLE: Not that I'm aware of a single article marking the occasion, but Pardon the Interruption aired its 1000th episode today, and as anyone who's seen an episode with Bob Ryan or Dan LeBatard knows all too well, it's not just the format that's the star. The show simply doesn't work without the humor, camaraderie and insight of Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser. Their eloquence and intelligence on a daily basis since October 22, 2001, puts to shame the yahoos and loudmouths who unfortunately dominate most sports talk in America.

Toss-up question, people: if you had to choose one -- Mike or Tony -- who ya got? [For me, it's Wilbon, just because I feel like he knows what he's talking about more often than Kornheiser, who occasionally tries to slide by based on (entertaining, to be sure) bluster and attitude.]
