Is the Super Bowl today? Go figure.
Me too. Excellent singer
Starring one of my all-time favorite quarterbacks, Joe Namath.
Today will be time for several hours of watching the Brit TV Archeological dig show “Time Team.” Here is a sample show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9kUAJCsJ-A
And the presenter, Tony Robinson, once played the character Baldric on the BBC “Black Adder” series.
What kind of creep picks on the great Gladys Night?!
A few years ago when my son was an Atlanta fireman, the station got a call to a high rise condo in Buckhead. An elderly man had fallen and his wife and a caregiver weren’t strong enough to lift him up.
The elder man was Bill Mathis, a former Jets teammate of Joe Namath. One of the fireman knew about Mathis’ football career and asked him about playing with Namath.
Mathis was very happy to talk about his playing days and even showed the firemen his Super Bowl III ring.
Amazingly, later in the day, the station got a second call to Mathis’ condo. He had fallen again. The firemen told him he had to start using his walker since his knees were in such bad shape.
Thanks; I had no idea they formed in 1952. I remember them from the mid/late-50s.
I thought Marvin Gaye did “I Heard It Through the Grapevine”? I played his 45rpm so much that I wore it out in 1967, in college.

Yes, Marvin Gaye did record “I Heard it Through the Grapevine”:
Three of Gaye’s albums – What’s Going On (1971), Let’s Get It On (1973), and Here, My Dear (1978) – were ranked by Rolling Stone on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. What’s Going On remains his largest-ranked album, reaching No. 6 on the Rolling Stone list and topped the NME list of the Top 100 Albums of All Time in 1985[137] and was later chosen in 2003 for inclusion by the Library of Congress to its National Recording Registry.[138] In addition, four of his songs – “I Heard It Through the Grapevine”, “What’s Going On”, “Let’s Get It On” and “Sexual Healing” – made it on the Rolling Stone list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

I remember it too. :)
I LOVE onions, especially caramelized onions. I will be making this amazing dip sometime in the future. Thanks!
Thank God for Gladys Knight.
Bless her, dear Lord.
We don’t have to agree on everything, but she has the decency to do this, and not back down.
Poor guy!
Turns out my dermatologist had one of our Baltimore Colts in her repertoire. My husband went to her also and met this man. It wasn’t THAT “Art” (even my Steeler-loving husband would’ve known him anywhere) but “the other” Art, deCarlo. He showed him his ‘58 Championship ring and went on talking about the team. Fun. But not so fun having skin problems!
Yes God bless her! As a side note, I worked security at a Confirmation retreat for 175 or so candidates last weekend up in the SoCal mountains. Our associate pastor is from the Congo (he loves being in the US) and he did confessions and Mass. No social justice or progressive issues did he preach, only Christ’s Gospel. I would love to have about 1,000 more of him in this country. You’ll never see his sermons on the evening news. :)
What’s a “superbowl”???
/s
I was at a super bowl party. About 40 people, very few that really care/watching. I didn’t watch a single commercial. But I sure noticed the stereotypical ghetto half time show. Good grief ...awful. You
I thoroughly enjoyed that game.
