I really wish Heeb Hymieyidowitz would stop calling me every week, right before I umpire at the JCC.
Wait. Smithers had a man?

Wait. What?

@Gravy: Oh, and for what it's worth, I love this feature, too.
Or maybe I just need to stop drinking. Again.
Man, I loved Johnny Carson. Not because he was a fellow Nebraskan in a state where the small number of natives who find fame also find the adoration of an entire state as birthright. But because he set the ideal for the geeky kid I was.
Carson was so introverted that he rarely attended the Hollywood party circuit that begged his approval. People would say he often could be found at those parties studying the host's artwork, or simply sitting alone, and so painfully, painfully shy that a simple conversation was nearly impossible.
Yet, 4-5 nights every week, he would bare his soul to a nationwide audience, all while out-charming the charmingest people and out-funnying the funniest people in show business. For 30+ years.
There's a reason every comedian who made us laugh over those 30+ years saved their best new material for appearances on Carson's show. To make Johnny laugh, and receive the coveted wave to sit on his couch, was to be anointed by the king.
A.J., you're doing a good job. But there's a long way to go before a gold star equals the wave from the couch.
Daaaah-da-da-dah-da. Da-dah-da, da-daaah.

Marshwn Lynch needs a raise.
Lou Michel, of The Buffalo News, reports Buffalo Bills RB Marshawn Lynch has been accused of stealing $20 from a woman at a restaurant in December. The woman's husband, Buffalo Police Sgt. William Crawford, filed a complaint with police a day after the incident, but they delayed giving a statement to detectives until Wednesday, Jan. 6, in part because she wanted to wait until the Bills' football season ended and Lynch was out of town. Crawford said his wife's girlfriend was approached at the restaurant by another member of the Buffalo Bills, who struck up a conversation with the unmarried woman. At some point, Lynch arrived at the restaurant and joined them. When the woman's girlfriend stepped away from the table, Crawford said his wife pulled out a $20 bill to pay their check in preparation for leaving. Lynch then grabbed the money from her hand.
