    Obscure sports trivia

    1st Crush

    The very first for me was Lori Partridge (Susan Dey). I was very, very young but I knew she was beautiful. As a puberty-riddled, horn-dog teen? Absolutely, positively Dale Bozzio. That woman, my goodness. Years later, I heard a rumor she gave a blow job to an MTV programming exec to get...

    Dear dimwit on the phone

    Cigar Help

The idea is to keep the cigars at around 65 to 70 percent humidity, and at about 70 degrees if you can. For what it's...

    Your favorite unsolved mystery

    In my college days, there were two guys on my dorm floor from Skidmore. They absolutely refused to talk about this, and believe me we tried real hard to get them drunk enough to spill the beans to no avail. It really is an odd, odd case.

    I can also vouch for Tony, he worked for the paper next to mine in Ohio before moving to Georgia and is a solid guy and journalist.

    Your most hated bands/groups

    There is no music on this planet worse than Pink Floyd. Banal, overwrought, never settle for one overdub when eight will do. There is no music on this planet more overrated than Springsteen's. Springsteen is like Oakland. There's no "there" there.
