Thank you, Mom, for setting me straight because it's terrible that I left out this important detail. I always thought that Buddy D looked like Grandpa and I remember Grandpa hated him and Dad loved him. How could I forget Buddy D!!??!!

I'm so proud of you for coming over to the dark side of football fandom! I loved reading about your memories of our family football atmosphere on late summer and fall weekends. One thing though, your dad wasn't actually listening to one game on headphones and watching a different game on TV. He was listening to the local radio game announcers calling the game, while watching it on TV. We always wanted to hear what the national sports guys were saying about our Saints but we really wanted the local touch with the local radio guys... remember how after the game there would be a few hours of listeners calling in to talk about the game, your dad was always glued to that too. And I'm very proud of you for knowing enough to mention the horrible refs that gave the Superbowl to the Steelers! They aren't called Steelers for nothing! Go Hawks!
