Thanks again to all for posting your insightful - well, mostly - comments on this here blog. It's always a pleasure to read them, both the positive and the negative ... ok, enough for now. I've got to get to writing some Sunday stuff before Norm calls and starts whining about my copy being late. 
Black N Gold on Donovan McNabb’s HBO comments on racism in the NFL:
“Enough already. It's getting old. The only time we hear about race anymore is from black athletes using it as an excuse for their actions and shortcomings.
Donovan needs to look at Charlie Frye who was traded, or Chad Pennington whose injury was cheered.
Then you have Isiah Thomas who intimates that it's different for a black man than a white man to call a woman a B***h.
ESPN hires a talk show host (Steven A Smith) whose primary shtick is to capitalize on the color of peoples skin.
Differentiating in any way based on the color of a man’s skin is racism, period.
Let's encourage all man, black, white, brown, red, whatever, to quit pointing out our differences and hold all men to the same standard.”
“Bill Belichick” on the greatest invention of all time:
“The video camera. (I just need to find someone is isn't so conspicuous when operating it.)”
Chris on the greatest invention:
“What’s sliced bread, chopped liver?”

Black N Gold:
Are you kidding me? If any Newsday blogger is honest, he/she will tell you that's what we live for! We crave comments!
Thanks!
I feel just like Sally Field, circa 1985.
