Well done, Mr. McGowan. I actually got way more into the Olympics than I thought I would. And I even watched the womens figure skating final (without leering) AND I didn't lose my remote or anything. I just tuned in. The hockey game was a great capper too. By the way, I think the 2-18 team needs to fire the coach. “slump buster” and “quixotic quest” in one column. Well done, Mr. McGowan.

]]> Comment on Whatever Happened to…. Billy Kilmer by Jim Gulli http://www.sportscolumn.com/2004/09/25/whatever-happened-to-billy-kilmer/comment-page-1/#comment-14173 Jim Gulli Sun, 07 Feb 2010 04:31:36 +0000 #comment-14173 I met Bill at Citrus College, where he played his freshman year before going to UCLA, and knew he would be a pro. I was a running back and wide receiver. He threw a ball which looked the size of a basketball and it was really easy to catch. I loved John Unitas' comment:"Kilmer throws an option pass, you have option of catching either end." Kilmer is the most generous person I have known, and he never forgets his old friends; his daughter is a hero and a great fighter from her wheel chair! His mom still hosts Billy's "Over the Hill Gang" each March for a charity golf tournament. From Billy's wife, to all his family, you will never meet a more wonderful family.

SoMEone in my family who will remain naMEless asked how big of a city New England was when he was 10 and the Steelers (0) were playing the Patriots (34) in '86. Vin he's from upstate NY but was a Pats fan as a kid and went to school and then worked for 10 yrs in New England City so that's his team. Also, the Jeering Ringmaster was his wife. I would've kicked her ass out. you should know Ryan, you live there.

I thought it was rude of some of his guests to be the haters as they just wanted New England to lose and didnt give a rats ass about the Giants winning. Plus I had 25 bucks (big spender I know) on NE and they were pissing me off How about this scenario: The host of the Super Bowl party is the only person who has a rooting interest in the Patriots as he hails from the city of New England.

By the way the BC band plays "Shipping Up to Boston" probably six times at every home football game. It starts to wear after a while. Ha thanks RJ.
