I was just listening to Jeff Varner's interview at the Fishbowl. Don't know if this is old news but he said Kel was stopped at the airport because the dogs were going crazy. He had a whole suitcase of beef jerky! He also tried to sneak in a second pair of shoes. Jeff said that he thought it was strange that Kel was hemming his shorts. Now he realizes that it was probably to slide the jerky in.

I always thought he did have the jerky. When directly asked the question he never answered yes or no. His stock reply was that production searches their bags posing the question, how could I have? But never gave a straight answer.

Having just read this it sure seems he did.

i always thought he had it also. i remember at the final show he was still holding onto a lot of anamosity towards jeri. i think it would be a smart thing to do but he acted like he was so insulted.

yes. Good for him for trying but he couldnt admait it. He could have taken the other tack and owned it, stood by a convicion that it was a shot at blowing the security but he was stunned.

I'm really not trying to disagree with you, Rslover, but Jeff could quite frankly say anything without it being true. Also, if the dogs were going crazy, who's to say it was because of beef jerky.
I think, and always have thought, that Kel was innocent. If it was found that Kel cheated on the game (and I'm sure CBS investigated after Jerri made the accusation) then mroe serious consequences would have been taken, and we'd have heard about those too.

It just seems to me that perpetuating this rumour would be extremely easy for ANYONE to do, particularly CBS, as a major American media corporation.

jeff varner has always loved to get as much publicity as he possibly could. he's an attention grabber that has never learned that his time IS OVER! funny, but he wasn't an all-star. <hmmm...>

I have a friend in Canada who knows Kel's dad personally and said it's a "stand - up, honorable" family. Kel has emphatically and CLEARLY denied ever having beef jerky. They may not have televised it, but he did say NO -- Jeri was completely wrong. Not sure I'd trust Varner's word -- stretchin' that 15 minutes seems more like it.

That statement by Varner sounds completely tongue-in-cheek to me, not serious at all.

I never believed it then and I don't believe it now.
I would need more proof than Jeff Varner saying it's so before I believe Kel had beef jerky on the show.
I am sure their bags are checked carefully before they leave.
They couldn't prove it on the show and now 3 years later they are still trying to stir that old pot.

Well how stupid would you have to be to go through all the trouble of concealing it and then eating it when someone else was around?? Especially JERRY!

Jeff Varner has turned up in West Michigan!

There's a new anchor on our CBS affiliate WWMT, and I thought he looks so familiar, then his name popped on the screen.

Maybe I should email him and ask him if he's still sticking to the jerky story

He's been around for quite a while, Carrie. I read about his joining the Channel 3 team before summer started (I think). Still makes me smile when I see him, though. :-) Poor DH couldn't even place the guy -- guess his 15 minutes are over!

I'm from Kalamazoo (I moved to TN in "91) and always watched channel 3 (WKZO) news. Is it still in Kazoo? Or did WWMT move? I also used to date Joe Farago who was an anchor there WAY back. Do you guys remember him? (Big nose!!LOL!!)

Yup, it's still K-zoo - it's just the "local" CBS station that DirecTV carries. Sorry, don't remember Joe but if you dated him, that must mean you're famous! :-)

Don't I wish!! He was a really nice guy, but we only dated a few months, then I was in an accident and I was in traction for 2 months, so our dating was VERY limited. I guess he really wasn't that nice then, huh... Have you ever listened to an anchor when he talks in his "anchor" voice when you're alone? It is so funny!! Just listen to the news sometime and imagine you're having a conversation with him. It's really weird.

I wish I could get Kalamazoo news on my DirecTV. I'm in TN and I get NY and LA.

I didn't know he'd been around for that long! Goes to show how much I watch Channel 3 during the day. I usually don't watch their news at all, being in GR.
Owl, you could probably get their news on the net, just do a search for WWMT.
