I intentionally used the word "spunk" to describe the Arizona TV reporter who slipped uninvited Sunday into the NBC suite where most of the Manning family was watching SBXLII.
(He ended up taking a family photo and writing a story about the experience for the Arizona Republic.)
I was curious to see who would be the first reader to make the obvious connection between the word "spunk" and an item about a local TV journalist.
Sure enough, it was DuMont Berger, one of WatchDog's most reliable baby boomer nostalgia experts:
Lou [Grant]: "You know what? You've got spunk."
Mary [Richards]: "Well, yes… "
Lou: "I hate spunk."

Neil, what are the details of Wayne Hagin joining the Mets radio booth?
What details? I wrote a while ago that he is the front runner and I assume they will name him in the coming days.
Speaking of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. You know who would have answered that question in a snap? George Steinbrenner. Interestinlgy, it was his all time favorite show. He even has a cast photograph framed in his office. Signed by Mary.
