What about Bob?

We've been remiss in getting to this on a more regular basis, and we apologize.

You folks have done yeoman's work improving the level of discourse on this blog, and it's you who have given us four straight months of career-high numbers. For that, we are eternally grateful. (Ok, BBiB! ... I am eternally grateful.)

Black N Gold on Myron Cope's passing:
"There are so many wonderful Cope stories... one of my favorites was on his radio show that the term "Immaculate Reception" was minted to describe the great Franco Harris catch. A caller, Sharon Levosky, called Cope and mentioned that her friend, Michael Ord, had used the phrase to describe the catch while they were watching the game in a local Pittsburgh Shot and Beer Steelworkers bar. It was the Jewish Cope who popularized the phrase which was an obvious play on the Catholic derived term.
So to explain how popular Cope was in Pittsburgh, it was standard practice in Pittsburgh to turn down the sound on the TV and turn on the radio to hear Cope call the game."

Black N Gold on our post of a streaker getting knocked silly at a cricket match in Australia: "I always wondered what a 'naked bootleg' looked like."

Richie G (Lynbrook) on Brett Favre's retirement announcement.
"I really hope he reconsiders. He is the last player from my generation and he plays the game the way it was meant to be played. For fun. I'd love to see him make one last run. And then another. And then another."

Richie G (original, I think) on Hank Steinbrenner look-a-like: "He looks like Ray Liotta after a couple months in Vegas."

Neil Best on our record-setting 32-post day last Friday (something we never plan to attempt again.):

"Oh . . . my goodness gracious. Congratulations, sir. I am proud of you."

Craig on his real-life use of the term "Go Kendall," popularized by DC Jets Fan as a way of describing how one can talk his way out of an organization:

"Fair enough, I'm going to Kendall my boss Monday. Will let you know how it goes."

(Any news, Craig?)
