Ladies and Gentlemen, it is our pleasure to announce the return of Zinga. He has been out of sight and mind for the past few months, but that has now come to an end. Zinga is on the Budweiser Hotseat:
ESPN.com: So, it's been a few months, where have you been hiding?
Zinga: First off, it's good to be back. Thank you for having me. As for the absence, "school and work" is the simple answer. I switched jobs at the beginning of May, and now commute two hours a day. Not to mention, I'm still attending the University of Maryland full time. I only have one more semester to go, though.
ESPN.com: Do you plan to leave your fans hanging again or was that an isolated incident?
Zinga: Well, I didn't plan on taking a three-month hiatus...just sorta happened. But no, I don't "plan" on doing it again, as you say.
ESPN.com: Anything new in your life you'd like to share?
Zinga: New? Hmm. Well, we are moving a week from today.
ESPN.com: Where to?
Zinga: Crofton, Maryland.
ESPN.com: Crofton? What possessed you?
Zinga: Price.
ESPN.com: That usually does it. Any parting words?
Zinga: Yes. The Dallas Mavericks will be back next season, guaranteed. The Miami Heat got lucky. Thank you.
