A Medium Happy 89th to one of the better Bonds, Roger Moore…..
Starting Five
Anderson
Hands Kristin Anderson*
*The judges will also accept “Forced Trump”
The story of Kristin Anderson, who tells of being felt up by a stranger (Trump) at a New York City nightclub in the 1990s broke earlier today, but it’s not even the latest such story to break in the news. Are ALL of these women lying (answer: NO)?
2. The Hours
Kershaw gets the save. The last time he got a save, in a minor league game, it lasted 121 minutes. And current Dodger closer Kenley Jansen was the catcher
Gone With The Wind…….226 minutes
Lawrence of Arabia………. 227 minutes
Game 5, NLDS, Dodgers-Nats (9 innings)……..272 minutes.
3. A Message For Steve Bartman
The Cubs fans is a Domer, and a smart and successful one, so he already knows this. But on the 13th anniversary of Cub shortstop Alex Gonzalez making an error that led to a 6-run inning and Steve Bartman going on to be blamed for it, we just thought we’d run this reminder.
4. Anyone Have Lou Dobbs’ Phone Number?
FOX Business News anchor Lou Dobbs, who has cold sores older than most of Trump’s accusers, tweeted out the phone number and address of one of them yesterday. Then he quickly deleted the tweet and apologized. I mean….
5. Saint/Sinner
My old friend Richard O’Brien, one of the true good guys at SI (and the ultimate survivor), wrote a tremendous piece on the death of former New Orleans Saint Will Smith earlier this year.

Saturday Night

Laugh all you want, but this song by one-hit wonders The Bay City Rollers was a monster hit in the mid-Seventies. It also gave you no excuse for not knowing how to spell a certain day of the week. This song actually hit No. 1 on the charts in the first week of our bicentennial year. Strangely enough, despite the title and despite topping the charts, BCR never had a chance to perform this on Saturday Night Live.

SATURDAY
No. 1 Alabama at No. 9 Tennessee
CBS 3:30 p.m.
Everybody: Hurts
No team has been more entertaining this season than the Vols, and who knows how much gas they have left in the tank after the past three weeks? The Tide have already been on the road in Oxford and Fayetteville, plus that season opener in Arlington. Tennessee came as close as anyone (besides Ole Miss, of course) to beating Bama last season as they made a national title run. You get a legit Top 10 matchup plus Uncle Verne and Gary. Enjoy!
I actually liked a few Bay City Rollers tunes -too bad for them Howard Cosell labeled them the next Beatles. I would love to see Bartman re-emerge – seriously no need to still be in hiding – people would love it if he threw out a pitch – do something for charity etc.
Have a great weekend
