I recently had occasion to travel by train. Of the many benefits of rail travel, perhaps chief
among them, is the complimentary “Travel Mall” catalog included in each seat-back. Not only is this delightful periodical choc full of amazing gift ideas, but it has the following fortuitous message printed in all caps on the front cover:
“FREE COPY — TAKE IT. WE’LL REPLACE IT!”
Armed with this knowledge, I decided to take several days to peruse this book for the finest, most elegant, luxurious, and, above all else, understated gifts I could find. Please note that I do have a birthday coming up in short order. Let’s call this a wish list:
Defending the Ryan Family Honor
Fullback Tony Richardson, in response to Wes Welker’s tongue-in-cheek, foot-related comments, after the Jets’ 28-21 victory over the Patriots: “That was personal. There was no reason to bring family into it. Rex (Ryan) has a son in 10th grade!”
I want to applaud Richardson’s remarks. Leave the families out of it! How dare someone bring up Rex Ryan’s wife spontaneously at an NFL media event! Even if the intent were humorous (some scoundrels might even say “harmless”), there’s absolutely no place for that kind of self-promoting, non-football-related grandstanding at a press conference!
That Wes Welker is so unprofessional.
