I have a bone to pick with "NFL on FOX" broadcaster Curt Menefee. The only thing this schlub has in common with his predecessor James Brown, who is now on CBS, is the color of his skin. As my lady friend and I were watching the Giants/Packers game on Sunday, I said, "Honey, if he makes this field goal, the headlines should read, 'Third TYNES a Charm'!" (For those of you who didn't watch this game, Giants field goal kicker Lawrence Tynes missed the two previous FGs.) Anyway, minutes after the new LT nailed the field goal, Curt Menefee exclaimed MY HEADLINE. Hey Menefee, if you had to write that headline, you'd probably misspell Tynes' last name with an "i" instead of a "y." On top of that, you probably had one of your producers whisper that line to you; I came up with it all on my own (before the three points were scored).This Week's RED HOT Celebrity Birthday (2/1 - 2/7)
Eddie Bracken, best known for his role as Walley World owner Roy Walley in NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION would be celebrating his 95th birthday on February 7th were it not for his death in 2002. The Montclair, NJ resident and star of radio, screen and stage, Bracken died several months after his wife/actress, Connie, passed away. if you make it to Heaven, be sure to check out Eddie and wife Connie in the highly entertaining BACK IN BRACKEN, a true favorite with the elderly deceased.
