Oh, and the Drew Carey reference explained:
Quote:
THIS COMEDIAN'S SERIOUS
Drew Carey flies into T&T to support U.S. team
Feb. 9, 2005
Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago -- The U.S. National Team has a celebrity fan.
Comedian Drew Carey flew into this Caribbean city on Tuesday, to give the U.S. National Team his support for yesterday's World Cup qualifier vs. Trinidad & Tobago.
He reportedly told one U.S. soccer official, "I want to be your Jack Nicholson."
Nicholson, of course, is known for being a big time fan of the L.A. Lakers.
Carey, who sat in the box of U.S. Soccer president Bob Contiguglia at the Queen's Park Oval cricket ground, spent a couple of hours with coach Bruce Arena and Contiguglia at a bar at the team hotel, the Trinidad Hilton, telling jokes on Tuesday night.

They showed a shot of him on ESPN2 during a two or three-minute break late in the first half caused by a T&T injury.
He's also a Galaxy season ticket holder, but I won't hold that against him. |
