I have known Mike Fisher for almost four years. Fish has a way of conveying a point while remaining true to his ethereal precepts of Maverick play and Maverick scoop. A perspective that's always outside of the box, I can only wonder how he successfully picks a game watching night where his alma-mater, a team from Minnesota, is the opponent?
In 2006, Ben made headlines when he failed to wear a helmet and suffered a near-fatal motorcycle accident in Pennsylvania. That was cause for some bad headlines and a question of using better judgment. He came out okay and continues to play despite being in a lot of pain after surgery.
Walter Cronkite was without a doubt 'the most trusted man in America'. The face we saw get emotional when JFK was assassinated, and when we landed on the Moon in 1969. He worked in the fields during the height of the Vietnam War. We also welcomed him into our homes as the nightly anchor on CBS Nightly News.
This was my mindset in 1982. Today in 2010, I try to imagine a living John Belushi at age 61 still doing cartwheels and keeping the spirit of Jake and Elwood alive. he loved his whiskey and he liked his cocaine. It was a more liberal time unlike today.
I was in my vehicle today heading in to work when I turned on the radio and heard...exhibition baseball with the Rangers and Royals (speaking of Kings). Yes the games don't count but the fact we are speaking diamond love, the season is fast approaching. April 4th it all starts with the Yankees at Fenway.
