Robert Bell is not only one of the most talented writers out there, he's also just about the most generous co-worker you could ever come across. Haven't seen him in years, but my thoughts are with him.

I landed a coveted stringing job in school once because I owned my own TRS-80. They hired me on the spot. Best $300 I ever spent. Wish I still had it.

Hey, easy, he had the ISJ cruising like a battleship back in the day!

Did Bob Brundage work in Reno? Could he captain this ship?

Didn't read Rushin yet this week. Did he mention he married Lobo, or is the next reference coming next week?

That I actually give a **** enough about them to discuss my job with them. I've come to find discussing work with people not in the biz is one of the biggest drawbacks of the job.

Don't forget about the assistant coach McNeely through under the bus (and then backed over). McNeely had no knowledge whatsoever that the guy had completed a book report on The Hobbit top get an O-lineman eligible from Juco. And then there was the system in which McNeely required players to show...

Does anyone have an Alfredo Anderson card in their deck?

No one should forget the classic stock car racing Pocatello features on Saturday nights in the summer. An evening of getting dust and rubber blown in your face was far better than one sitting on the desk next to Brundage listening to him tell you how NO ONE put together more bang up agate pages...

What's really the bomb is when you see the lingerie girls/rub ads on pages with prep copy. Nothing like Billy reading about his football game and then seeing the services being touted.

If you knew Brundage, you had to figure by now he'd be managing a bowling alley somewhere with Rosy cutting hair in the back and flippin' burgers on the side. Is the Press Box still serving up good steak sandwiches and cold beverages?

Face it fellas, Brundage was a stalwart. That guy got more creative ways to spell McNeely, Mcneely, McNeeley, MacNeely in print and in headlines than any man alive. Of course, his presence is sorely missed at the local lanes. He also had a wonderful rapport with Randy Rehrer. But what happened...

ISJ could always bring back the inimitable Bob Brundage to run the department.

Maestro, there is no way you were loathed quite as much as former and current crook Brian McNeely, the ex-ISU football coach.

And for those with interest who are not able to see Mariotti on "Chicago Tonight," word is he will also appear on CNBC's "The Big Idea" this evening at 9.
