* Last word on your “Royal Purpleness”. Here’s how “Bad” Prince really was . . . and I mean bad in a good way. Michael Jackson sent him “Bad”, the song, to partner with and he said hell no! Secondly, here’s a cat so good and so cool that he would do music that was lewd and crude and make it sound like words from heaven. Just re-listen to the hits. You’ll see . . . rather, you’ll hear.
* Your Pens are down one game to nothing. Not to worry. As I told ya from the gate, Pens beat the Caps in five. (Now keep in mind I know nothing about hockey. I’m just sayin!)
* Mike Tomlin, not the Steelers, drafted cornerback Artie Burns out of Miami. That means you can count on this cornerback being the truth. (Please Baby, Please Baby, Please Baby, Please!!!)
* I don’t know if you’re paying attention or not, but it’s already May. I mean it was just New Year’s a minute ago.
* Steph Curry goes down with a light injury and Clay Thompson steps up for 40 like there’s nothing to it. Yeah, it’s scary, but I stand by my pick for the Spurs to win the West and win it all.
* Saturday night the greatest high hurdler in Penn Hills track and field history, “Norm Thomas”, will be inducted into the Penn Hills Sports Hall of Fame (Of which I am a proud member.) and trust me when I tell you, no one worked harder and no one deserves it more. Congratulations my life-long friend and “Banfield Brother”.
* Prayers and sympathy to the family of my friend and colleague Kathy Neely.
