And now, without further ado, I welcome to this very podcast through

the miracle of Riverside, none of them, Annie McCarthy.

Rich, how are you?

Good, Andy. I heard the most amazing piece of football trivia the other day. I go on this great

WABC show hosted by my friend Sid Rosenberg, I occasionally mentioned him. And I don't just go on the show. I listen to it. I enjoy it. So they were talking about Vince Lombardi and how there's a Vince Lombardi rest stop in New Jersey. I'm sure you've driven by many. And when I've gone by... It's near the metal lens. Why is there a Vince Lombardi restop in New Jersey? So he got his coaching start in New Jersey? So I texted Sid, you know, while he was on air. That's why they had the restop. He started in New Jersey. He's like, yeah, you know, he's in New Jersey. He was a coordinator, I guess a defensive coordinator with the Giants. And you know who was the offensive coordinator at that time? Tom Landry. I know. So can you imagine having a team with those guys as your coordinators?

Well, how about this?

Lombardi actually got his start, not in New Jersey, but in New York.

He went to Fordham University, and he was one of the famous line that was known as the

seven blocks of granite.

Oh yeah, yeah.

And one of the other blocks of granite was a guy named Lee Galliarty who became a federal

judge in the Southern District of New York, who I had to

appear before many times. So everything always comes back to the Bronx, Rich, eventually.

So another.

And New York. I was on with Sid today, and another sports thing, Mickey Lolis died.

And so was complaining and still angry about the rusty stob for Mickey Lollich trade that the Mets did.

So my brother and I were talking about this last night.
