2. I knew someone was gonna say that. Really? In any case the image
of a trout wearing a wig is funny.

3. It would help if I could spell, "Last"
But yes that would be quite funny!

4. Unlike many, I like mispellings. I know someone who intentinally mispells
just to get reeders more involved. Interesting idea.

5. Don't know, but I'm sure glad he did.
I first saw him with the NY Rangers broadcasts. He's a real enthusiast, knowledgeable, and has a great speaking voice - unlike nasal whiners like Al Michaels.
