Papadakis: 5 minutes for Clipping
Multimedia man Petros Papadakis, rocking an Elton Brand jersey, came bursting through the TV on the FSN Prime "Clippers Live" show Tuesday -- already littered with Michael Eaves, Don MacLean, Jim Watson, Lindsay Soto, Ralph Lawler and Michael Smith -- harkening back to his days as a USC tailback, to announce he'd been added to the show for a "What's Poppin'" segement that will be "innovative, and creative, and some of the greatest cable television to ever hit the airwaves."
As for Milwaukee rookie Yi Jianlian: "I hope Kaman chops him in the Adam's Apple right before the game starts."
And now, for no real good reason, two minutes of bellydancing from the Papadakis Taverna from someone with an unsteady hand and a camcorder:
Papadakis will be part of FSN West's coverage of the "Super Selection Sunday” edition of “High School Spotlight," when the six teams will be picked to play in the California Div. I, II and III title games at Home Depot Center on Dec. 15.
The selection show, on FSN West at 3 p.m., brings CIF executive director Marie M. Ishida, event director Ken Gunn and FSN broadcasters Soto, play-by-play men Jim Watson and McGee, analysts Papadakis and John Jackson, plus reporters Dain Blanton and Jackie Pickering to the party.
