I believe if you were ever considered the best player in the game, you should be in the Hall. I feel that way about Mattingly as well. And I bet your son-in-law David agrees with me.

I think George Pickens is making about $1-2million per catch for next season. Does that sound right?

In honor of #2, last week's killer from, for my money, the most consistently big-time funny slinger on Bluesky. #AT40

I regret every joke Iโ€™ve made about how our elected officials were so old they didnโ€™t know how to use a computer. I would give anything for another administration that doesnโ€™t know how to use a computer

Absolutely, but when people start making lists, he ain't on 'em. I think it's the front man going solo not as successfully thing. #AT40

Not a popular opinion, but I think the best rock voice ever.

Choir. Best Stand-Up special ever. Of course, like most of them, he took 15 years to write his first hour and 6 months to write his second.

I opened for him at the Lone Star Cafe in 1985 when he was working with a trio, and he played it in the middle of the set AND as an encore....

Casey whining about Alice Cooper's missed out royalties while making millions working a four-hour week seems a tad ironic. (By the way, Tad Ironic was how I signed my letters to men's magazines....) #AT40

I know I've posted this at the old place, but there was a great great comic, Dick Capri, who opened for Englebert Humperdinck all over the world for 20 years. He finally quit, and when other comics asked him why he gave up such a plum gig, he'd say, "I ran out of compliments...." #AT40

After Thanksgiving 1976, I was holed up in my sophomore dorm room taking out from Tommy's because the cafeteria was closed and trying to get caught up for three finals, two Greek and one Latin. It did not go great. I had the "battery" report card: ACDC. That said, I didn't fear no reaper. #AT40

Remember: If a non-white guy is the shooter, he's a domestic terrorist; If it's a white guy, he's "mentally ill." And if it's a woman....what am I saying? When since half-past Squeaky Fromme has it been a woman?

They got outplayed and outcoached wire to friggin wire. My brother John '81 and I suffered through, but as always, when Yale wins, we get to be happy for our dad, The original Bill Scheft Y '41, and our uncle Herb Wind Y '37, my literary power of example..... #AT40.
