  1. I also got to see him at the Rockpile in his heyday. So pardon me for waxing rhapsodic, but Joe Namath was the most effortless and elegant passer the game has ever known. His passes were more poetical than mechanical. If they don't belong in the the Halll of Fame, then they belong in the Louvre. And, lest we forget, he happened to win the most historically significant game in the history of the sport.
  2. For the space of maybe 5 years, Namath was the most famous player in football. Somewhere in that sentence lies the kernel of his inclusion in the "Hall of Fame." See if you can locate it.
  3. Best of all, starting in January you'll have four more years to bash President Trump. Ain't life grand!
  4. A compelling character. Ordering a #14/Diggs as we speak (in blue, of course).
  5. I'm thinking Ed Oliver. But for the first couple games, it might have to be somebody else.
  6. I met Johnny Bench after a Bisons game at War Memorial in 1967. He had the dimensions of a brick. I met OJ in Lockport Memorial Hospital, where my mother worked. He used to visit kids in hospitals around the area. He was so ridiculously athletic that he seemed to float, not walk, through the halls. (I've met a few more, but I'll confine my response to GOATs and HOFers.)

  8. This kid is going to be like Incognito, only sane. What could be better than that!
  9. I LOLed. Once I even ROTFLed. Damned sense of humor must be out of alignment again.
  10. Stayin' Alive. Those iconic opening notes grab you and then you grab them and neither of you lets go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfwQ_7xqO7Y
  11. Three years from now, the best WR from the '20 draft will not be a first-round pick.
  12. The media chooses which "science" to report, and which "science" to ignore.
  13. "Interestingly enough, Allen has also racked up the highest percent of dollars wagered in Vegas so far (22 percent)..." https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/kyler-murray-the-early-popular-2020-mvp-bet-with-tom-brady-and-a-surprise-quarterback-behind-him/
