:06—Okay, come October you’re going to be stopping me in the street or at Dollar General…(What? Yeah, I go to Dollar General. Don?t get it twisted. I ain’t that proud. If corn flakes are a $1 there and $4 at Giant Eagle, man you know where I am going. And shut up anyway, that’s where I saw you.) Anyway, you’re going to be last minute talking about “Neal, how come you didn’t put so and so in the City League Hall of Fame?” So I’m telling you again. Now is the time to start the nomination process. The committee has begun the process. Here’s how to do it. I’ll write slow so some of you Carrick and Langley grads can keep up. (Oh, relax. Just a little City League humor…besides, you’re a little short on legends anyway. Again, relax will ya?!?!) #1 City League grad. #2 Best of the Best. #3 Major varsity sport 2 of 3 years. #4 Strong moral character. #5 Must be able to attend. #6 Out of school minimum 5 years. #7 Able to identify 10 people that will attend to support you.

:02—Speaking of good ole school music, here’s this. Ed Gainey, oh my bad. State Rep. Ed Gainey thinks he knows something about it. Now we know he knows politics. He’s a politician. And we know he knows football. He played at “The Body.” And I know for a fact he knows basketball cause he played in the Connie Hawkins League, but Ed don’t know “Bo” about old school. You tell me where you’re going if you got money for one ticket…Ed says Earth, Wind and Fire. I say The Temptations with David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks. Ed says Anita Baker…I say the queen of soul Aretha Franklin. Ed says Luther…I say Teddy! Text me where you’re going 412-628-4856. And don?t make me come after you!!!
