Being fortunate
We – da’fundamentals – are fortunate. Buddies send us things like the following –
sensible brief offerings – not like the stuff we write/publish. Pls read and enjoy:
Don Meredith, Dallas Cowboy Quarterback, once said: “Coach Tom
Landry is such a perfectionist that if he was married to Raquel Welch, he would
expect her to cook.”
Harry Neale, professional hockey coach: “Last year we
couldn’t win at home and we were losing on the road. My failure as a
coach was that I couldn’t think of anyplace else to play.”
Reggie Jackson commenting on Tom Seaver: “Blind people come to
the ballpark just to listen to him pitch.”
Doug Sanders, professional golfer: “I’m working as hard as
I can to get my life and my cash to run out at the same time. If I can
just die after lunch on Tuesday, everything will be perfect.”
Mickey Lolich, Detroit Tigers pitcher: “All the fat guys
watch me and say to their wives, ‘See, there is a fat guy doing great.
Bring me another beer.’”
Tommy Lasorda, Los Angeles Dodgers manager: “I found out
that it’s not good to talk about my troubles. Eighty percent of the
people who hear them don’t care and the other twenty percent are glad I’m
having them.”
E.J. Holub, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker regarding his twelve
knee operations: “My knees look like they lost a knife fight with a
midget.”
Vic Braden, tennis instructor: “My theory is that if you
buy an ice cream cone and make it hit your mouth, you can learn to play tennis.
If you stick it on your forehead, your chances aren’t as good.”
Walt Garrison, Dallas Cowboys fullback when asked if Tom Landry
ever smiles: “I don’t know. I only played there for nine years.”
John Breen, Houston Oilers: “We were tipping off our
plays. Whenever we broke from the huddle, three backs were laughing and one was
pale as a ghost.”
Bum Phillips, New Orleans Saints, after viewing a lopsided loss
to the Atlanta Falcons: “The film looks suspiciously like the game
itself.”
Al Hrabosky, major league relief pitcher: “When I’m on the
road, my greatest ambition is to get a standing boo.”
Paul Horning, Green Bay Packers running back on why his marriage
ceremony was before noon: “Because if it didn’t work out, I didn’t want
to blow the whole day.”
Lou Holtz, Arkansas football coach: “I have a lifetime
contract. That means I can’t be fired during the third quarter if we’re ahead
and moving the ball.”
Knute Rockne, when asked why Notre Dame had lost a game:
“I won’t know until my barber tells me on Monday.”
Bill Walton, Portland Trail Blazers: “I learned a long
time ago that ‘minor surgery’ is when they do the operation on someone else,
not you.”
George MacIntyre, Vanderbilt football coach surveying the team
roster that included 26 freshmen and 25 sophomores: “Our biggest concern
this season will be diaper rash.”
Rick Venturi, Northwestern football coach: “The only
difference between me and General Custer is that I have to watch the films on
Sunday.”
And you thought Yogi was the only one whose mind worked this
way…

A bit more info (albeit limited) about our situation
And a doctor’s caution:
https://apnews.com/ba9578acf23bdb03fd51a2b81f640560
These words from the above…
“The U.S. has the
most confirmed cases and deaths of any nation, more than 555,000 and more than
22,000, respectively, according to Johns Hopkins University. In hard-hit New
York, the number of deaths topped 700 for six straight days, but the increase
in people who are hospitalized is slowing, in a hopeful sign.”
