"You've been talking into that tape recorder for 18 and a half minutes!"

From the scene where they're fighting over the phone to their slow-motion victory strut, Ferrell and McCulloch are tremendous.

You are correct, though Cosell wasn't really what we'd call a color commentator on football or baseball. He had no special knowledge of the sport, but was there mostly to stir up conflict.

Scully did quite a bit of national football and golf, including the play-by-play for the famous Dwight Clark catch in the Niners-Cowboys NFC championship.

"In a season of the improbable, the IMPOSSIBLE has happened!"

He was memorable even in his small Brighton Beach Memoirs role as Mr. Stroheim, the hard-hearted owner of the hat company where Stanley worked. His old-world fury when Stanley sticks up for his co-worker is something to behold.

I agree with this. Winnie had to deal with enormous tragedy and family turbulence at a young age. Particularly in that era, someone Kevin's age probably would not look to the cause of her often frustrating behavior, but only react to how it affected him.

She's now married to Orson Bean. Bean's daughter was married to the late Andrew Breitbart.

That was my impression, too. It's hard to imagine someone from Maryland having a Jets jacket as a wardrobe staple after Super Bowl III.

Not to jinx anyone, but The Mary Tyler Moore Show has been fairly remarkable in that regard. Ted Knight died young, but MTM, Ed Asner, Gavin McLeod, Cloris Leachman, Valerie Harper, Betty White and Georgia Engel are still around.

Howard's brother was a game warden in a national park: Warden Gordon Borden. He was played by William Redfield who also portrayed Felix Unger's brother, Floyd. Sadly, Redfield died not too long afterward.

In a late Newhart episode, Dick (Newhart's character) and his wife go to see a therapist and Riley is walking out. He says something obnoxious and Dick does a double-take but seemingly can't place the face and walks into the therapist's office.

He was on with Howard during the period when he was doing all of those radio commercials.

Eddie Layton was the Yankee organist for decades. CBS owned the team prior to George Steinbrenner and Layton also performed the dramatic Dun-dun-DUHHHHHHHH organ music for the network's soap operas.

Accompaniment to other famous Fenway moments:

The most famous Boggs/organist moment was after his Anaheim-based mistress, Margo Adams, went to the press with a tawdry story about their long affair.

Hearing the Best Show theme played at Fenway was a pretty great moment. I also remember him playing "Suspicious Minds" when the Sawx caught Michael Pineda using pine tar against them.

He also was the host of the roundtable/clip show to mark the 200th episode of Cheers.

I think Margaret's marriage was grounded in the feminist concerns that emerged as Alda replaced Larry Gelbart as a creative force.

He's written a couple of books and is a pretty thoughtful guy in interviews. He tells a great "meet cute" story about him and his wife, Arlene.
