Danica Patrick, Sue Bird, Charles Barkley, WatchDog
Deitsch asked some "interesting people" to predict the top sports story of the second half of 2008.
Turns out I rank in that category, along with Charles Barkley, Danica Patrick and Syosset's own Sue Bird.
Syosset has produced an amazing number of our nation's leading citizens, from Bird to Chris Russo to Judd Apatow to Natalie Portman to NFL p.r. honcho to Greg Aiello to Washington Post sports media scribe Len Shapiro to Mrs. WatchDog's best friend from college.
Not sure what it is about that town. What has Northport produced? Patti LuPone, Edie Falco, me, um . . . Bobby LuPone? NASCAR driver Steve Park? Can I get some help here?
I went to East Northport Junior High with 1986 U.S. Open golf champ Jane Geddes, but she moved away before high school. I think she went to Florida for the weather.

neil,any blog from the malusis nuptials? did mike and dog sit at the kids table with evan roberts? any tidbit would be entertaining.
i bet they had moose meat for the main course.and for desert it had to be choclate mouse.do you think malusis puts mouse in his hair? i bet they went to wally-world for the honeymoon.
I was not invited to Malusis' wedding. I was not invited to Carlin's wedding. In 1983 or '84 I did attend the wedding of my Anchorage Times colleague Carol Murkowski - daughter of the then United States Senator from Alaska - to Roe Sturgulewski. Which made her byline, as I recall, Carol Murkowski-Sturgulewski. Maybe I should have never left Alaska.
i bet they have moose meat in alaska,and i am sure it is good too.i wonder,does alaska have local sports talk radio? the callers names must be pretty funny along with the towns.
