I'm sure this will give Neil Best more fuel for his insatiable appetite to poke fun at me for being old, but what the heck.
Caught the Rangers-Islanders game last night - a doozy, by the way - and noticed that Jeff Tambellini scored the winning goal in the shootout. That's Jeff Tambellini, son of former Islanders center Steve Tambellini. Yes, Neil, I covered Steve back in the day. 
I once interviewed Tambellini after practice. I'm pretty sure we ate at a diner in East Meadow. He drove us there in his new Porsche. I believe I was driving a used Mercury at the time whose model name escapes me. Needless to say, they don't make it any longer.
btw, can any Rangers' fans answer this question: I realize Jaromir Jagr has had some problems in the shootout, but why would Rangers coach Tom Renney not use him at all last night? Just wondering.
oh, yeah. When Mike Comrie was lining up to take his turn in the shootout, I turned to a friend and said, "Man, this has Neil Best blog post written all over it." Spoke to Best this morning, and he tells me he was thinking the same thing. Would have been another occasion to post a hot pic of Comrie galpal Hilary Duff. Then again, my guess is he'll come up with an excuse to post one anyway.
ok, two things I'm still having trouble wrapping my mind around: Brett Favre has retired and the Giants won the Super Bowl.

I was actually wondering, Bob, why Jagr wasn't used either? Michal Roszival?
And I'm still in a joyous state of disbelief regarding the Giants.
Yes, Rozsíval was the one where we went, huh?
