    But seriously, how many "normal" fans really look at performance when voting, rather than simply vote for the popular players on their favorite team?
  4. Thanks for that, Gary - I see the line was a "mallard with a cold..." He probably should have disappointed Grandpa and skipped the impression.
  5. I couldn't believe Gomer Pyle was a $2,000 clue in the Military TV category, and was heartbroken when it was a TS... I got Havana right away - New York City almost would have been the right answer, but part of it (The Bronx) is on the mainland. It was actually "What's the difference between you and a man with a cold..." but he didn't really have a punch line.
  6. Really? In Italian, it's a soft g, pronounced like the letter "J" when followed by an E or I.

    I'm down in Charlotte now, but I've followed the Islanders from a distance - I wish I could have gotten to one more game at the Old Barn. A coworker lived in the DC area for a number of years, and she and the family are Caps fans. Yesterday, she asked me if the Islanders were going to change their name, since they are moving to Brooklyn. I told her that despite what Brooklynites might tell you, Brooklyn is on Long Island, so no name change.
  8. "Living like we're renegades" - it's a commercial for the Jeep Renegade...
  9. "Re-gyn-a" is the city in Canada, and is also the correct pronunciation of the Latin word for "Queen".

    I think it's great when Harvey is pitching... ;-)
  11. Hey, I live in Charlotte, and I always use the fog lights on my Hummer... No, not really - I do live in Charlotte, but I have a Durango, and I've only use the fog lights up on the Blue Ridge Parkway, when it wasn't so much foggy, more like the mountains were in the clouds. I hate people that run with on them all the time.

    Being it's in Texas, I always call it The Grassy Knoll...
  13. Part of the problem is there are 8,742 24/7 TV and radio stations devoted to sports. It's no different to the way news shows beat a subject into submission. Have to fill all that air time somehow.
  14. I think that was a selfie someone (Rodgers, maybe) tweeted, I don't think it was an official announcement.
  15. And he got himself a new red shirt and everything! As a former Air Force pilot myself, I was glad to see Todd win, I hope he has a long run!
  16. I've seen that a few times over the weekend, kassa, and still don't know what it is for.
  17. As a Giant fan, I'm OK with that QB line up for the Eagles.
  18. He pretty much was, but he was speaking at the UN, and it would have been a major issue if we prevented him from coming to NY for it. I actually photographed his plane arriving at JFK on that cloudy, damp afternoon, so I remembered him coming here. I also remember The West Wing pilot, when Leo McGarry tells his assistant: Please call the editor of the New York Times crossword and tell him that 'Khaddafi' is spelled with an h, and two d's, and isn't a seven letter word for anything.
  19. No, cars aren't normally supposed to go sideways, and it is very hard on the tires. It's just a way of showing off, that has led to organized exhibitions and competitions usually referred to as Drifting
  20. Looking forward to seeing NdGT - he spoke at a conference I attended last year, and was outstanding.
