Ah, this is the first I've heard of this. I look forward to suddenly noticing all the hate about it on the web.

Brenly split his post-playing career between announcing and coaching, but he didn't get into announcing that early. :)

Thankfully he decided against faking his own death after his driver didn't win the Indy 500 this year.

Maybe Alan Alda will present a category tonight!

First Caribbean nation to score on Brazil (so Twitter tells me).

Brenly was a catcher for the Giants, not announcing.

Extreme Snark Measures approved.

Zachary Taylor was a horrible candidate for the party. He was a war hero with no particular political background. He's basically the reason Whigs disappeared before the Civil War arrived.

James Earl Jones' J.D. Salinger-stand-in character from Field of Dreams?

Next season premiere: The NCAA gives Missouri State football program the death penalty after holding team practices all through the summer.

So we need to root for 4 months of (mostly) mediocre champs.

One of my favorite Wikipedia entries.

I was 9. I was deemed too young to watch. I don't remember what I watched, but Kennedy was probably it. Probably with my Mom in my parents' bedroom, while Dad and older sister watched The Day After in the family room.

* Those wheelie stools for restocking the top shelves.

My first thought was actually jousting for a medieval sport. But I decided on rowing within the time limit.

Looking at the Indian Ocean Wikipedia page, it seems as if Tasmania marks the eastern edge of the ocean. So its east coast touches the Pacific. So, I think it's legitimate enough to call it a Pacific Island.

Goose bumps! Right in my sweet spot for when I got into watching Indy as a kid.

I didn't get a CART-IRL Split notification for this.
