  The real "pitcher incident" occurred during Superbowl XLI: Bears vs. Colts.

  Shawn Hammes is flesh and blood, the real deal. His big screen TV did actually break down. He, alone (perhaps), read the infamous "water book" and could NOT shut up about it.

  2 - skin thighs and place face down in a canola oil-greased cookie sheet
  3 - put thighs face down on grill for 7 - 10 min., then flip for 20 minutes

  5 - cook for 5 minutes, then serve with celery sticks & ranch dressing
  NOTE: serve with Corona beer, Fat Tire Amber Ale or Long Island Iced Tea
