Shiv: Three Months

Shivonne turned three today. Three months.
Watched Finding You last night, starring newcomer Rose Reid. Highly recommended.
Saturday morning eggyboy sandwich.
Went to Westside Provisions late Saturday afternoon. En line at Taqueria del Sol Ceil spied the author of their cookout, used so much by C and M. A few minutes later Ceil had a nice chat with him. He made a point to speak to me as well, as did the manager.
I had the brisket enchilada in the red meat sauce. Ceil a chicken enchilada in the lemon cream sauce.

Back in the day I bore a slight resemblance with ebullient tight end Russ Francis - a.k.a. Gronk 1.0. 
Back in the day Chris Collinsworth made a spectacular catch in the Super Bowl against the 49ers.  
Off-season Bay Area roller derby between the 49ers and Raiders. Hall of Famers Hugh McElheny (39) and Tom Flores (15) rocking their game uniforms.

Before playing Gabe's wife in Welcome Back Kotter, Marcia Strassman played Nurse Cutler on MASH. 

Bart Starr holds. Paul Hornung kicks. I loved the old skinny pants stripes. The Browns were still wearing numbers on their helmets. 
Born in Hungary, Pete Gogalak played soccer at Cornell. Spying an American football, he approached it from the side as he would a soccer ball. After leading the Ivy League in scoring he was drafted by the Bills in the 12th round. As a rookie Pete led the old AFL in scoring, and later helped start the bidding war for players with the NFL - which led to the merger.
Today's NFC / AFC championship game matchups.
On Twitter someone mistakenly thought Jack Lambert had appeared in The Longest Yard with Burt Reynolds. The movie debuted during Lambert's rookie year with the Steelers.
Of course it was Packer great Ray Nitschke who played the corrupt prison guard.
Lambert did bear a passing resemblance to Nitschke. 
In fact Lambert was the 70's version of the 60's model Nitschke.
Ray stares down Falcons QB Randy Johnson.
After winning a championship Nitschke appeared on What's My Line, but hardly fooled anyone.

Some people are so miserable, they aren't happy until they drag everyone else down to their level.
