I didn’t know about the not kneeling stuff, but if you showed me the names of all the players in the NBA and asked me to pick the one who is my fellow Jew, it would be Meyers Leonard.

Do you remember the game state at the time, and why that play mattered a lot in an 8-0 game?

My wife is a ferocious Steelers fan, so...close? I enjoy playing house with her.

I haven't the foggiest idea who she is, but she sounds like a real piece of work. Probably a MFY fan. The museum of holography was awesome, my dad took me there every time we went to New York to see my grandparents.
