Currently living in Cinnaminson, NJ, Matt has been and will always be a Philly fan. During his four years, he has been behind the scenes most of the time, but when given the chance to talk Philly sports, he jumped for joy. Now as a senior, he is Producer and Host of SportsTalk Philadelphia and should be a co-host of the best quiz show ever, Q&A! So with that, Matt would like to leave you with some George Carlin, because Carlin tells it better than he ever would. When cheese get its picture taken, what does it say? Is a vegetarian permitted to eat animal crackers? You know an odd feeling? Sitting on the toilet eating a chocolate candy bar. And done.....

Jeff Landis
I'm a modern man. A man for the millenium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multicultural postmodern deconstructionist, politically, anatomically, and ecologically incorrect. I've been uplinked and downloaded, I've been inputted and outsourced. I know the upside of downsizing I know the downside of upgrading. I'm a high tech lo-life. A cutting-edge, state-of-the-art, bi-coastal multitasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond. I'm new wave but I'm old school and my inner child is outward bound. I'm a hotwired, heatseaking, warmhearted cool customer, voice activated and biodegradable. I interface with my database and my database is in cyberspace, so I'm interactive, I'm hyperactive, and from time to time I'm radioactive.
