2 truths and a lie

I will say two, you can hold all the Grammys and try on all the green jackets you want, you don't lift the Cup unless you've won it.

 

I know a staff photographer who drank from the Stanley Cup in the postgame locker room.

Not the best ethics, but it didn't bother him. He was a longtime fan, and the guys on the team considered him a friend.

 

I had a guy get all pissy with my friend because he kissed the Cup at the Hockey Hall of Fame in a picture. My buddy basically said to him: "Listen, I ain't ever going to get to play for it...so eff off."
I still have yet to touch the Cup myself, but I get his point.

 

1 and 2 are true. My first wife went to church with a guy who won a handful of gospel Grammys (fixed) and I held one at a party at his house.

I lifted the Cup after Anaheim won it in 2007. I was in the Ducks locker room waiting for postgame interviews and a colleague told me the Cup was on the ice. I went out, just wanting to see it and maybe touch it when another reporter said “hand it to him.” Ethically I should have refused, but it happened so fast my only thought was “don’t drop it.” Fortunately, the guy who said to hand me the Cup snapped a picture for me.

 

Wait, WTF? You said GRAMMY!

 

You’re right, it’s a Grammy. Doh

 

Our photog said the same thing, basically.

 

yep.
did # 1 today
#2......it's only 6 in a row
#3....done at local club back in 1997. (#6....#16 at Southwind CC.)

 

You are rapidly becoming an extreme Grammy Nazi.

 

1. the trophy in my fantasy football league is made from the same mold as the Lombardi Trophy, except it's only silver on the outside.
2. Howard Stern read one of my newspaper columns about him on the air and I started getting death threats from his fans
3. I am Maureen Dowd
