Cuomonomics and Poor Sam Champion

Sept. 18, 2008 — -- [DISCLAIMER: Despite the text of the below narrative, the tone hopefully makes it obvious that everything that follows was in jest and was met with laughter by all. A lot of laughter.]

When Cleo bought Chris Cuomo and Sam Champion a monopoly board, everyone expected a little light-hearted fun when a game broke out in the antique Warrior Ridge car between Chris, Sam, and producers Cleo and Kendall.

I don't think anyone realized just how far and quickly the game would degenerate from light-hearted fun to "You will never get this property, you understand this? Never, ever. You will die old and poor!"

Chris – "This guy's been in jail! He's the landlord of a slum and he gets praised for this?!"

Chris to Everyone: "Why am I pushing deals? Because there's no action."

Chris to Cleo about a deal with Kendall: "If you mess with my deal with her at all, our deal goes away. This has wings. You shut your mouth."

Chris to Sam: "This is not go fish. This is not go fish."

Sam to Chris: "If you ever come to the poor side of town, buddy, you're paying up.
