Who is cleaning up more these days? The UConn Men or Gerry Brooks. No, our fearless lead anchor can't boast an 8 game winning streak or a top 25 ranking, but how many anchors are as versatile as Gerry?

Two nights ago, Gerry showed us all what kind of team player he can be. Call it a Craig Austrie moment. No, he didn't come down to the sports office and play lock down "d" on me as Austrie did last night on Notre Dame. But Gerry literally made us see the light.

Noticing that three of our sports monitors (fancy word for mini tv's---and I mean mini) were dusty, Gerry stepped up. No, he didn't sink a last second three pointer with the shot clock winding down like Stanley Robinson last night against Notre Dame. Nor did he wipe away an Irish comeback as Hasheem Thabeet did when he blocked a three point attempt late. Nor did he clean the boards like Jeff Adrien. But Gery did clean our monitors! That deserves a, "are you kidding me!"

Yes, the ultimate act of anchor kindness: Gerry Brooks, glass cleaner in hand, taking it upon himself to spray and wipe down our monitors. Ron Burgundy has nothing on you, big guy. Every time I stare at your Red Sox now on those little tv's in the sports office, I will think of you--our jack of all trade's anchor. The Tony Phillips of local tv.

The Huskies may still be flying a bit under the radar. But Gerry, your performance is an instant classic. You are the George Mason of your craft---coming out of nowhere to provide the unexpected. Thanks!
