I just had Mike and Mike on (ESPN) in the background. I guess they are doing a telethon type thing for the Jimmy V Foundation fight against cancer. Different celebs are calling in to offer experiences for bidding.
I was only half paying attention at first, but Cosby is offering a Penn Relays experience to the high bidder, sitting with him, food, gear, etc. Sounded kinda cool.
also get to start one of the races
$2,000 is a lot though

$2000 isn't too much for Jello Pudding Snacks!
And starting a race? It had better be like heat 12 of the girls hs 4x8 or something because I can't imagine someone starting like the mens 100m effectively

Yeah, it might be rough to have them start the men's 100m, but they would probably teach the person how to start. It probably wouldn't be that big of a deal. It isn't that hard to start a race.
It sounds like it is for Bill Cosby's box seats that are by the finish line, hoagies and cheesesteaks, t-shirts, officials caps, meeting and hanging with Bill Cosby and using the starting gun. It's pretty cool, even more so if you already had the means and desire to contribute to cancer research. I'm sure it's all tax deductible as well.

Sounds cool but seems it is not listed on the espnradio web site as an item up for bid
http://sports.espn.go.com/espnradio/news/story?page=radio/vfoundation07/onairauctionYeah, did you see the men's 100m this year... 1st heat four guys false started and the officials just looked at each other and said oh well.
Who would bid on this other than someone who already goes to the Penn Relays every year?
Well, I would think that they would have them start a distance race, seeing as how those are easier to start and have less of a chance of false starting than a sprint.
Hey, Hey, Hey, it's the Cos.
He mentioned which race. It will be the HS girls 4x400.
That was a terrible Cosby impression.
Only Flagpole Wily can afford it. He should do it.
