Todd Rogers will have to wait a few more days before he can return to the comfort of his own bed in Santa Barbara. But he's OK with it. After all, he and teammate Phil Dalhausser have more beach volleyball to promote.
On Monday, the two will have another big stage as they join approximately 150 Olympic medalists on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in Chicago. When Rogers gets to meet Oprah, he's got one basic question.
"It's a great opportunity to get beach volleyball out there," Rogers. "I know she's going to have a lot of the guests -- all the medalists -- but it'll be a fun time. I'm going to ask her when she's having us over. We're neighbors, after all. Well, maybe, we're not exactly neighbors, but she has a big house in Santa Barbara. I might ask her, 'Hey, I'm thinking about having a gold medal party. Can we have it at your house?'"
