MAX MCGEE DIES, TAKES 'SWINGIN' '60S' WITH HIM
Legendary Green Bay Packers receiver Max McGee, the unlikely star of Super Bowl I, fell off the roof of his home in Minnesota and died this past weekend.Jeff Cez: A sad day for a Wisconsin boy like me. What is with old guys and roofs? Maybe it’s the last vestige of manliness for the post WW II generation: “I ain’t payin’ no punk to seal up the chimney leak, I can do it myself!” For the uninformed, here’s all you need to know about McGee - he was already a wiley veteran reserve by Super Bowl I and figured he wasn’t going to see any action, so he headed out with two American Airlines stewardesses the night before. He tried to get Paul Hornung to go with him but Hornung was getting MARRIED in three days, and the fine for a curfew violation was $15K, which is pretty much every cent they were making for playing in the Super Bowl. So Hornung begs off, but McGee doesn’t care, he goes out alone with the women and tiptoes back into the Packers’ hotel just before breakfast – BREAKFAST. Gametime, he’s sitting on the bench hung over, discussing bachelor party plans with Hornung. Bam, second play in, Boyd Dowler goes down with an injury, Lombardi calls for McGee. Max wobbles out with a borrowed helmet and proceeds to grab 7 balls for 138 yards and two TDs. Moral: “When you have th chance, always go out with two American Airlines stewardesses.”
USF REQUESTS 'DO-OVER'
The University of South Florida’s first-ever trip to the top five in the football rankings was short-lived. They fell to #11 after a 30-27 loss to Rutgers.Jeff Cez: I swear, Toledo could win it all this year. Is William & Mary an FBC team? Everyone, including the vaunted SEC power teams, are stumbling over each other like paparazzi stampeding towards a panty-less Lindsey Lohan. This is by far the most successful part of Bush’s “No Child Left Behind” policy.
WHAT?! PEOPLE ARE STILL GOLFING?!
Mike Weir shot a 68 Sunday for a one-stroke win at the Fry’s Electronics Open in Scottsdale, Arizona, his first win in nearly four years.Jeff Cez: Well, let’s see if he can’t carry this momentum into the Chattanooga Bakery Moon Pie Invitational and then of course, the prestigious Costco Gas Card Championship. At the Fry’s Electronics Open, the entire 18th hole was decorated to look like Hogwart’s. I know only people who have been in Fry’s will get that, but I’ll write something for the rest of ya’s, just get off my back!
