The secret's out...

From Paul Daugherty's Blog:

"Speaking of radio, Terrific and Irrelevant Friday Night Topic this week is Best Burger in Town... Someplace called Terry's Turf Club on Eastern Avenue is getting rave reviews. The former Maisonette chef runs it, evidently. Really? I like J. Alexander's, with QUATMANS not far behind. I find the much-loved Zips to be overrated. We'll talk."

One wonders...does he get frizzled onions too?

Dave, I thought of you about a million times while reading this. I think you, Phil, and Flip should start a Sports Data consulting agency.

Best Sports Theme?

This question was prompted by the following video, as referenced by Bill Simmons this week:

While I do love the March Madness Theme (especially that incredible electric guitar slide at the beginning) I have to say my favorite is the old NFL on CBS Theme:



This thing would get stuck in my head until Thursday night (when the bridge from that stupid theme from "Friends" would take over until Sunday again).

Feel free to post your own, but it must be accompanied by the relevant video.
