Since it seems less and less likely that the much maligned "Dougie and 'Tek Show" (you know that Dougie would demand and receive top billing) will ever come to fruition, I've reharnessed my creative energies to create "The 'Tek 'n' Eck Show." Which, if I do say so myself, is a very good title.
In the show, the two men bond over their mutual hatred of Yankee Stadium. They then proceed to get involved in a whole series of sitcom-y situations. In a classic take on "The Odd Couple" premise, their main shtick is that Eck flies off the handle at the slightest provocation-causing great amusement for the audience-and Varitek has to come in to calm him down and clean up the mess. In return, Eckersley teaches 'Tek to live life outside of baseball (obviously, filming would have to wait until after Varitek retires.) Eckersley would be effusive and bright; Varitek would nervously mumble his lines. And in the end we would all learn something about life, or friendship, or some such. It's comedy gold. And I'm sure Tom Warner is already all over it.
