Yes, but only before God got big enough to turn down TV guest spots.

He knows that Hillary sold her soul to the Devil in exchange for political success. That's how she became Faust Lady.

In the '80s Twilight Zone reboot, Dan Hedaya combines menace and humor in "Dealer's Choice" as a Satan who shows up at a Jersey poker game with a great cast of working-class buddies (Morgan Freeman, Garrett Morris, M. Emmett Walsh and Barney Martin).

Though I think most of the people who worked for Marshall loved him, I always remembered this management principle he espoused.

That's true. Bobby went by the Parker Brothers rules while Tony and Carmela put the money in the kitty to make the game more fun and exciting.

Bobby weaved both together to make the point that members of the Soprano family just say and do what they want, ignoring everyone else's rules. A third example in the episode is the family's cavalier attitude toward the anecdote about Livia being shot accidentally.

I think that was the moment where it was over for Tony and Melfi. She tried to give him the psychiatric out that perhaps AJ really wanted to live and subconsciously made the rope too long. Tony was having none of it.

Another great line from that amazing scene is when he's saying that he was attracted to Svetlana because she had to overcome hardships and work for everything she has.

I might be going crazy, but in Do the Right Thing Frank Vincent plays the bigoted owner of a Cadillac convertible that gets drenched when some kids on the street open a fire hydrant.

"And this tells us where there's a fire anywhere in town, which really comes in handy, because…we're the fire department."

"This Magic Moment" is one of the songs on the diner-table jukebox that Tony passes over to play "Don't Stop Believin'" in the final scene.

Because the Yankees went on to win so much more, people forget what a stunning result that was. The Braves were defending champs and had been the best MLB team for a few years. It was the Yanks' first World Series since '81.

Kenny Rogers made three poor starts for the Yankees in the '96 postseason, yet the team came back to win each game. After the won the Series, he was probably the most exuberant celebrator.

George and Stottlemyre had a long feud based on George's apparent failure to honor a promise he made to Mel toward the end of his Yankee playing days.

Schiraldi had been a highly touted Mets prospect.They knew. He knew. And they knew he knew.

In contrast, Mickey Mantle's career average dipped below .300 because he hung on too long.

That was certainly Mitchell's reputation and the reason why the Mets, concerned about family values, shipped away a future MVP capable of playing five positions.

Doc's' '96 no-hitter was against the Mariners, a tremendous offensive group that had knocked the Yanks out in heartbreaking fashion the year before. It's still amazing how he finished off that game because by the ninth inning, he had nothing left.

Gooden actually threw out the ceremonial first pitch in one of the '96 postseason games.

Robert Bork was a fervent advocate of tort reform to limit the liability of negligent parties when people suffered injuries. Then when slipped while at the Yale Club in his eighties, he filed a seven-figure lawsuit against them.
