My Grandfather was the flight doctor for a squadron that basically just flew the brass around Europe. Pretty sweet gig, really.

What amazes me about the uncle at Nintendo thing was how many kids did it. We all have that story about the kid who said his uncle worked for Nintendo. There is something that just clicked in the popular consciousness that made it a spontaneous thing.

In, like, fifth grade, one of the popular kids in my class had to move away for six months because his parents were having trouble. When he came back, we asked him what the other school was like. I will never forget his response.

"They were weird. They liked Sega."

I really need to start reading MMBM more, some of these quotes are killing me. Improvements to be brought up at owner meeting:

-Dont allow a potential future ground-zero mosque to be built within 5 miles of any new NFL stadium
-New catch rule- a player has only completed the act of a catch when he makes a act common to the act of football like getting arrestied for domestic abuse or ignoring a queston from a reporter.

Also his dig on David Brooks for his view on Iraq.

SF Weekly's editor compared Jay Mariotti to Hunter S. Thompson.

quote:

Is it bold to bring Mariotti to this company because he was accused of some lovely crimes? No, that's not what's bold about it. That was a decision higher-ups in the company made after lots of conversations with him, and they trusted what they heard. What's bold is that, in spite of this, we decided to bring to the Bay Area's sports scene an excellent writer with a voice that's singular in ways not unlike maverick voices from the past, such as Hunter S. Thompson's.
