It’s pigskin season, so we ask the team this week:  “Who are your favorite college and NFL football teams and why?”

Adam: Ohio State University is my favorite college team.  The Browns are my favorite NFL team – although it’s been tough to watch them over the years.

Charlie: When the Browns left Cleveland they were my favorite team.  Unfortunately their departure really took the wind out of my sails and I've never really recovered as a football fan.

Sandy: I’ve never really understood the appeal of football, so I don’t have any favorite teams.

Debbie: I’m not really a college football fan.  As far as NFL goes, I have to go with the Browns.  Good memories of the Cardiac Kid games and fun at the old Stadium!

Bonny: We have season tickets to the Browns so I will go with them.  I feel like Cleveland really deserves a break.  It amazes me how true the fans are through thick and thin.

Carmen:  I grew up in Central Ohio, so I bleed Scarlet & Grey.  My husband and sons are really into the Browns, so I guess I am too!

This week we asked the staff “What was the spookiest (or kookiest) costume you’ve ever worn?”

Carmen: I dressed as bacon and eggs as a child (Thanks Mom!).  Now I find pleasure it subjecting my own kids to embarrassing costumes.  My personal favorite was when they were both skunks.

Adam: I’ve been random zombies, ghouls and hobos throughout my trick-or-treat days. Nothing really jumps out as all that “Kooky” or “Spooky” – guess I’d be pretty lame at a costume party now a days.

Sandy: Like Adam, I’m lame about dressing in costume. I remember being various witches and ghosts as a kid. Nothing particularly spooky or kooky.

Charlie: One time I put Elmer's glue all over myself and rolled in a leaf pile.  I told everybody I was Leaf Man, I got in trouble that night.  I miss my twenties some times.

Salli: The most recent costume I tried was Steve from "Blue's Clues".  The kooky part was that I thought kids would know who I was at first glance.  Not so much.  And I disagree with Charlie...he dressed up as 'House' a couple years ago, and it was spooky how much he looked like him!

Debbie: I was never really a spooky costume person.  My favorite as a kid was a stewardess (dating myself - now "flight attendant")  As an adult  - probably Betty Rubble from the Flintstones!

Bonny: I love Halloween because I have small children and we host an annual chili party but I personally have never been a fan of dress up.  I have a no face paint rule.  I usually pull out the black cat ears and call it a day.
