It was a tough call... I figured there wasn't much chance that we'd be playing a single-wing offense. Jay Fiedler didn't make the cut, either.

Are the two converts on the list, Sam McCullum and Andre Tippet, Kosher? I know very little about McCullum, but Tippett still practices Judaism.

Jay Fiedler ain't making the Hall of Fame, either.

I was at the Bennie Friedman's Pro Football HOF induction a few years ago. I had a nice conversation with Friedman's nephew, who was representing the family. It's not often you go to a Football HOF induction and end up interviewing an ophthalmologist.

You have me there.

Bird: Billy Martin over Miller Huggins, maybe?

Mayfly: "Those minor leaguers"? Steve Olin was a major leaguer, you know. He and Crews were killed in that boat accident. Bob Ojeda was badly injured, but survived.

No. I'd still go with Huggins, who was at the top of his game when he got sick and died.
