Would Alexis Glick Drug Test Imus?

Alexis Glick was “so excited” to speak to Imus this morning. So she’s the one.

Having parted ways with Fox late last year, Glick has been relishing time with her three young boys, walking them to school in the mornings and playing Monopoly with them late into the night.

“It has been a gift for me,” she said. “I’ve been waking up at 4AM for most of their lives, so I haven’t been here in the morning.”

In fact, her oldest son, who is eight years old, had counted the exact number of times Glick had walked him to school (six) prior to recent weeks. As for when she’ll return to work somewhere else, Glick was mum.

“I’m not going to rush it,” she said of making a decision on what to do next. “I want to take my time, and do the right thing, and I’m so excited.”

A huge boxing fan, Glick was also excited at the prospect of a Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather fight, but it was called off a few weeks ago when the two parties could not reach an agreement on drug-testing rules.  

“It came down to ten days, a ten day argument on drug testing,” said Glick. Mayweather wanted Pacquiao tested within 14 days of the fight, while Pacquiao favored the initial 24-days out timeline.

Glick thinks there’s a lot more to this story. “I believe Mayweather was afraid, and I think you’re going go look back at Pacquiao and wonder…he got big awfully quickly over the past three to four years,” she said. “You’ve got to ask yourself some questions about that.”

“Imus in the Morning” sportscaster Warner Wolf agreed, adding that Mayweather was  foolish not to take this fight, which would have netted him a $40 million purse. “Pacquiao can make that money with other fighters,” said Warner. “Mayweather will not. He’s not an exciting fighter.”

Imus freely admitted he was taking steroids this morning, and could, if prompted, bench press Charles. In case anybody was wondering.

Though she’s taking a hiatus from the media, Glick still has her pulse on what’s going on, and chalked Republican Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts up to one single factor.

“People are angry,” she said. There is no doubt in her mind that Washington, DC is broken, and that any possibility for change is “bygones.” Someone like Brown, she added, speaks to the people and not just to the elite, like many of his colleagues.

Despite talk of an improved economy, many people out there are still suffering, and scared, Glick said. You know, kinda like the staff on this program.
