    A buddy and I sat at the bar next to him one night, and he had everybody rolling on the floor when he said things like "Let's put it this way ... none of us were surprised when we saw Elizabeth did Showgirls" and "I'm telling you ... if you can't get laid in Vegas ... you just can't get laid."

    Classic stuff.

    Looks like I should test that Vegas theory. If nothing else, I could at least stop hoping for that day to come around again.

    Lopez said Diamond wasn't funny at all. He felt sorry for him.

    Know who's good buds with Dennis Haskins? St. Louis Rams assistant head coach Rick Venturi. Can't remember how they got to know each other, but it was strange seeing a picture of Belding up on the wall when you went in his office in New Orleans.

    He's from Chattanooga and is friends with former UTC coach Mack McCarthy as well. Would travel now and then to see Mack's teams play. Not sure if he's making many treks to see East Carolina.

    I met Dennis Haskins my senior year of college when he came into town to do a show. Had him sign my ticket stub afterwards, and he signed it "Dennis Haskins, Mr. B", which I thought was pretty cool. Seemed like he embraced the SBTB experience pretty well.

    I was just at Best Buy and saw the made-for-TV-movies on one disc for $14.99, and I almost picked it up. I need that and Season 5 to complete the set.

    I did an episode of "Twice in a Lifetime" with Martin Mull and loved him. Nice man, no visible ego - he was charming and sweet. Would work with him again in a heartbeat.

    God, John, I'm so glad that's the post you made. I was going to make the 'Philadelphia' joke, but you were on top of your game.

    Bully!

    I don't think Dennis Haskins ever has to pay for a drink.

    He looks like he could be the homeless guy who wanted your money for wine...
