I remember hearing Chick Hearn say one night, in his rapid-speak style: “Nixon drives the lane - by the way he wears contacts - and scores!”

Former Dodger doc told me about time when Drysdale pitched in place of Koufax (who didn’t pitch on Sabbath). He got shelled, and when Alston came to mound, said “Bet you wish I were Jewish.”

My love of hockey has at times driven my wife nuts, but we’ve reached an agreement: 1) I’ll ignore the Capitals, and 2) we’ll be regular attendees when DC (fingers crossed) gets an NWHL franchise next year!

So happy to hear someone call that out. Love baseball on the radio, but want to put my head in the oven by the third ‘Oppo Taco’ ad.

I will never unsee this image. I’ve been skeptical of ‘worst-case scenarios’ of the Epstein Files. That changed with this.

On USAF b-day, quick primer on inter-service trash talk (theirs, not mine): Army: overweight order-takers. Air Force: pampered and pointless; Navy has more planes. Marines: crayon-eaters that would beat up a brick wall or impregnate it. Navy: spend all their time on gay Love Boat. Coast Guard: who?

Fair question. Not sure. Maybe you can separate ID badge from PC access? Or use some other form of ID for building entry? I’ll ask friend.

Friend of mine at a three-letter agency said 40-50 people got walked out for this almost a month ago. The absurd part is that a PIV is useless (as far as accessing PCs) without a pin #. People have long left them at work rather than risk leaving at home.

Here’s an idea. Someone come up with a way to mail fake plane tickets home to all the members of Congress avoiding their constituents. Sounds fun, no? Not tech-savvy enough to do it myself. Anyone wanna take this up?
