Title: Drew Carey, Animal Rights Advocate
Post by: Matt Ottinger on July 25, 2007, 04:58:26 PM

While describing his love of soccer on Letterman Monday, Drew made a comment that if Michael Vick was allowed to play quarterback, he'd never watch another professional football game again.  I thought that was a surprisingly strong out-of-nowhere statement to make, but didn't think much of it.

Now comes a report that Drew will continue using Bob's spayed-and-neutered line on TPIR (http://\"http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2007-07-24-barker-phrase_N.htm?csp=34\").  Not only that, but Barker says Dr. Phil may start using it as well.

Also, for those of you upset that Carey wasn't all that familiar with the show, Barker says he hasn't seen Carey's work either.  So they're even.

Not really. The guy is a Cleveland Browns fan. It can be argued that he's not watching professional football in the first place. :)

That's a really nice tip to one of the truly good things Bob accomplished in his career. I'd wondered if the new host would continue that, or if it would be considered a bad thing to take a line from his predecessor.
