NFL Quiz: So I’ve been looking at Philadelphia’s DeSean Jackson and his 22.5 yards per catch average and wondered, when was the last time a player averaged over 20 that had at least 1,000 yards receiving? [Pittsburgh’s Mike Wallace is also over 20 this year, 20.2.] Understand I grew up in an era where this was commonplace…maybe 1-3 guys a year…receivers like Cliff Branch, Warren Wells, Homer Jones, Wesley Walker, and Stanley Morgan. Back in 1989-90, the L.A. Rams’ Willie “Flipper” Anderson averaged 26.0 and 21.5 in back-to-back seasons, but since then, only three… THREE …receivers who gained over 1,000 yards averaged 20 or more per reception. Name them. [Hints: 1991, 1998, and 2004…two were AFC players.] Answer below.
When I posted last time I didn’t mention the blizzard but it was still raging. I was scrambling to post the column because I thought the power was going to go out. For those of you not from the area, it really was as awful as the news reports made it out to be. I live in Union County, N.J., which ended up being Ground Zero, and being the weather nut I am, all Sunday I was following the radar and the snow bands that kept lining up in my area. Just 10 miles from here two communities, Rahway and Elizabeth, received 32 inches. I’m guessing my town got over 22. But when it ended the winds really kicked in, gusts of 50 mph, and you wouldn’t believe the drifting, which was the huge issue at the airports, of course. Alas, we’re getting back to normal but it was hairy. I have far more to say in that other column I do because it was indeed an important news story that I can see impacting future holiday travel plans for years to come. To say the least, I imagine enthusiasm to go see Grandmother’s house, for one, has waned a bit…visiting in May or June sounds better.
And for the record, I wrote the following back on 3/1/10:
“So it seems the odds of New York (the Meadowlands) getting the 2014 Super Bowl just went up considerably as Phoenix pulled its bid, and once again New York’s sports commentators are all giddy. Wouldn’t it be great to have a Super Bowl played in “Snowicane” conditions? But I appear to be the only one who counters that this is the single dumbest idea of the decade (OK, a new one just started, but it could be). Not one person has noted my main point. Sure, it would be fun watching a game played in lousy conditions from the comfort of your own home, and no doubt New York City would rock during the two weeks leading up to the game.
“BUT WHAT IF NO ONE CAN ACTUALLY GET TO THE GAME?!!!!
“What if in the 1 in 20 chance the weather is truly awful… eight inches of snow and ice on the roads…or mass transit shut down due to an ice storm…which happens in these parts. What is the freakin’ purpose of holding your big event, charging $1,000+ a seat, patrons shelling out $5,000 for hotel and airfare, if they can’t make it to the damn game?!
“Oh well. Go ahead, Commissioner Goodell. Award New York the game and then cross your fingers.”
[New York got it and now Goodell is crossing his fingers.]
–In these parts it’s also still all about the Giants and Jets and the word out of Giants camp is not good. For starters, they now must win on Sunday and hope the Bears defeat the Packers for the Giants to sneak into the last playoff slot.
“Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning have been a team for seven years now and had that one glorious run in 2007 that produced the Giants’ third Super Bowl championship….
“But with the Giants collapsing once again at the end of the year, disposing another promising season in the garbage can, what Coughlin and Manning have accomplished just doesn’t feel like enough anymore.
“It feels like they have underachieved. They’ve made it into so many Decembers looking like the best team in the league before just running out of gas.
“If this coach-quarterback combination is broken up after the season, then Coughlin will be the one to go. Coaches are replaceable. Bill Cowher is a phone call away. The Giants know where to find him. Every Sunday he’s on the West Side of Manhattan at the CBS studios.”
But the Giants are locked into Manning, who despite all his problems, and league-leading 24 interceptions this year, is still probably somewhere around 8th best in football.
So will ownership fire Coughlin if, say, the Giants beat the Redskins to go 10-6 but don’t make the playoffs?
What we do know is that over the last 68 minutes of football, the Giant defense has given up a staggering 73 points, going back to the 8-minute, 28-point collapse against the Eagles.
“The Good Ship Coughlin is sinking in this blizzard of ineptitude at the worst possible time. The disintegration of the Giants is stunning and it is inexcusable, and it didn’t only leave them stranded in Appleton, Wis., last night because of the storm back home. It left them stranded on Crisis Island, clueless and shaken and shell-shocked, far from the playoff shores….
“In a span of 68 minutes, they have gone from would-be champs to would-be chumps.”
–With the Jets qualifying for the playoffs in the next to last week of the season, I didn’t realize the previous five times they qualified (2001, ’02, ’04, ’06, ’09) were all on the last weekend. This shows you that for all our bitching as Jets fans, we’ve been in the playoffs 6 of the last ten seasons, which is far better than the average franchise can say.
–As for the Eagles-Vikings game that was snowed out on Sunday, while you’ve heard all the comments I have to get them down for the archives, and I’m saving one for that other column.
Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell was ticked off at the postponement, saying in an interview with FOX 29 on Sunday night:
“I think it’s a joke. I mean, we cancel the game and there’s less than 3 inches of snow in Montgomery County, where a lot of our fans come from. There’s less than 2 inches in Wilmington where a lot of our fans come from. In Philadelphia, we’ve got a great subway system. Broad Street is fine. The Parkway is fine. 95 and the Expressway are clear. I think the fans can make their own judgments about their own safety. This is football. Good lord, Vince Lombardi would be spinning in his grave if we cancelled a football game over this amount of snow….
“This is in no way, shape or form a blizzard. As I said, we haven’t had one incident on our roads….Good lord, you schedule a football game for Dec. 26, and you expect that you might have snow.”
[Awful loss by Philly, 24-14, to lose out on the No. 2 slot in the playoffs and the all-important bye week.]
“The more we hear from LeBron James, the more it becomes progressively patent there’s no misunderstanding where he’s coming from; he genuinely cares about himself.
“LeBron’s latest initiatives are textbook illustrations: He wants to make the NBA smaller and his birthday bigger.
“The most important issue gets introduced first: With LeBron’s 26th birthday rapidly approaching Thursday, he’s looking for the Three C’s – cake, cheddar, and corporate sponsorship.
“That’s right, the James Gang has contrived something called the ‘Full Court Birthday Celebration,’ which is even smarmier and pricier on the surface than attending the Michael Jordan Fantasy Camp.
“Apparently it’s a non-charitable event, but kids from The Boys and Girls Club of America are free to roll in if accompanied by a high roller….
“Thursday’s principal social is scheduled in Miami. But fret not those whose flights might be canceled due to the weather, there are satellite shindigs under the umbrella of ‘LeBron James Dinner Party Tour’ – including one in L.A. in mid-February to exploit All-Star Weekend to the fullest.
“Sponsorship, ahem, opportunities, range from $10,000 to half a million; the latter graciously includes validated parking.”
[Meanwhile, Miami, which started out 9-8, much to many of ours’ delight, has now won 15 of 16 and held every opponent under 100 during this stretch.]

–Seton Hall basketball star senior guard Jeremy Hazell, an NBA prospect, was sidelined early this year with a broken bone in his left wrist but was expected to be back sometime in January. Now, that timetable is very much up in the air because, you see, Hazell was back home in Harlem, celebrating Christmas with family and friends, when he says he was the victim of a holdup as he was walking home from a party early Sunday (3 a.m.). He was shot in the back though treated and released that night.
Hazell told the Daily News, “I just got to the front door of my building when these four dudes came up to me. One of them had a hand in his pocket and told me to sit down on this bench. I didn’t want to, and he said if I didn’t he was going to shoot me.”
Hazell said he pushed the robber in the chest – and made a real-life fast break. He said he heard the thug squeeze off four shots as he bolted toward E. 105th St. One of the bullets hit his side, right below his armpit, and then exited his body. Hazell was fortunate a FDNY ambulance was in the area and he flagged it down [Ed. Pre-snowstorm, of course.] As he said, “I just feel very lucky, very blessed” that he wasn’t shot dead in the street.

–The New Jersey Devils are off to a disastrous 9-24-2 start heading into a Wednesday contest against the Rangers and I got a kick out of this report from Rich Chere in the Star-Ledger, the Devils having replaced head coach John MacLean with Jacques Lemaire two games ago. Lemaire said a big problem is the Devils are simply out of shape.
“It’s not only practices. The thing is you stop pushing. As a player in practice you have to push until it hurts. If you don’t do that, you’re not in the best shape possible. It’s got to hurt.
Not often you see a professional coach have to say things like this…no pain no gain. But good reinforcement for those of us who are looking to get back in shape…including yours truly…once the weather gets better (and once I finish all my leftover sweets, snacks and beer).
[Back to the Devils, in 35 games, Ilya Kovalchuk, he of the 15-year, $100 million contract, has eight goals after six straight seasons of 40+.]
“A wild duck fitted with a transmitter last December made it back home on Christmas Day, to the delight of conservationists working on the project.
“The duck is the only one of 23 from Hong Kong tagged with the device to have returned to Mai Po.
“Its return will help ecologists understand the role of migratory birds and how they can be conserved by showing for the first time the bird’s complete migration.
“Officers at the Mai Po Nature Reserve were surprised when the northern pintail appeared on Christmas Day.”
The ducks had been fitted with a 20-gram solar-powered transmitter at Mai Po on December 9 last year.
The tracker shows the bird left in February and took about five months to reach the Arctic Circle in June. It then stopped in Siberia and bred for three months before heading back down south at the end of September. In one three-day stretch it flew at least 1,700 kilometers – at about 50km/h – stopping in Russia and Japan before reaching Guangzhou this month.
And the duck will be setting off shortly on another migration.
As to the other ducks, only two are still sending signals to the trackers so they could have fallen off, they didn’t get enough sun, or the ducks have been hunted. “Another duck, a Eurasian wigeon, appears to have settled in North Korea as it has spent over a month in different places there.”
The wigeon is a spy…and/or an arms runner. If we next hear of it in Iran, action will have to be taken. Not sure if this is factored into the equity markets.
–The Florida panther population is expanding rapidly as an experiment from 1995 that moved eight females from Texas to Florida appears to be working beautifully and there are few signs of inbreeding, sports fans! [Just in time for the All-Species List, by the way. The Florida Panther can sneak into the top 20…just sayin’.]
–Which leads me to some bits from the January/February issue of Men’s Health magazine:
Brush your teeth! “People who brushed less than twice a day had a 70 percent higher risk of death or hospitalization from heart disease than those who brushed three times or more, according to a 2010 U.K. study.” Why? “Oral bacteria can enter your bloodstream, possibly triggering plaque buildup in your arteries.”
Hand dryers are full of hot air: Restroom air dryers can leave your hands covered with germs, according to another U.K. study. The reason? “Air dryers won’t budge residual germs that paper towels can slough off. Hot air the only option in the loo? You’ll kill the most bugs by holding your hands steady under the dryer for at least 30 seconds.” I hate restrooms that don’t have paper towels!
When snacks attack: If it’s cream-filled and sold in a convenience store, skip it. “The phosphorus compounds used as additives in junk food like Twinkies may raise your risk of cardiac and kidney diseases, according to a study in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.” The additives go by monikers such as “disodium phosphate,” “Monocalcium phosphate,” and “sodium aluminum phosphate.” Noooo!!! [Now I’m afraid to look at the ingredients for Funny Bones.]
Good/bad thing…coffee: Uh oh…
“Your daily java provides long-lasting health advantages. Recent research suggests a link between coffee consumption and lowered risks of Alzheimer’s disease, liver cancer, and prostate cancer.
“But beware the telltale buzz of caffeine addiction, which can set in if you slurp more than 300 milligrams of the stuff each day. (A 12-ounce Starbucks standard brew has 260.) As your body adjusts to regular caffeine exposure, your fatigue-regulating adenosine system – which is hijacked by caffeine – becomes more sensitive, and you’ll feel sluggish in your non-caffeinated moments, according to a 2010 British study. The buzz that addicts feel is merely the emergence from fatigue-causing withdrawal symptoms.
“Spread out your fix. Pace your daily intake. ‘Better to spread it throughout the day to prevent overdose,’ says James D. Lane, Ph.D., the director of Duke University medical center’s psychophysiology laboratory. ‘It’s the high peak of caffeine in your blood that causes problems.’ If you normally drink 12 ounces with breakfast, limit yourself to half that in the morning, and have the other half at lunchtime.”
Drat. Seriously, no wonder why I get tired starting late morning. I’m drinking a 16-oz. coffee at around 5:30 a.m. I’m overdosing!
And…from The Girl Next Door:
Steve from Greensboro, NC, to Men’s Health’s Carolyn Kylstra: “She often asks, ‘What are you thinking?’ I’m not keeping a secret! What’s she looking for?”
The Girl Next Door: “Anything. Anything at all. You may not be keeping secrets, but you’re so quiet that she’s feeling left out of your head. When I ask this question, it’s because I want to feel more connected with the guy sitting or lying beside me. I want insight, access. What women want, Steve, is to feel close, and not just physically.”
Well, when I get asked this question, often the answer is unsatisfying.
Me: “But Hu’s the infielder!”
“Figure it out yourself, idiot! Geezuz!!!” [SLAM!!!] And then…the depression set in… –8-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Bud Greenspan died. He was 84.Greenspan’s career spanned five decades, including the making of 10 official films for the International Olympic Committee, one of which, the 1986 documentary “16 Days of Glory,” was about the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
Greenspan rose to prominence in 1976 with a 22-part documentary called “The Olympiad,” which first aired on PBS. The series featured the Emmy-winning 1968 documentary “Jesse Owens Returns to Berlin.”
Among the athletes featured in “The Olympiad” was John Stephen Akhwari, who finished last in the 1968 Olympic marathon in Mexico City. The Tanzanian had injured his leg but he kept running and finished an hour behind the winner.
Greenspan said in an interview, “I asked him, ‘Why did you keep going?’ He said, ‘You don’t understand. My country did not send me 5,000 miles to start a race, they sent me to finish it.’ That sent chills down my spine and I’ve always remembered it.”
Bud Greenspan’s films were sometimes criticized because they avoided scandal, such as the steroids issue or officiating. When this came up he’d say, “I’ve been criticized for having rose-colored glasses. I say if that’s true, what’s so bad? I’m not good at hurting people.”
Greenspan’s lifetime companion was his wife, Constance Petrash Greenspan, who died in 1983 and for whom his film company, Cappy Productions, was named.
“When my wife was alive, many times we would say to each other ‘We have no children, what will we leave behind? She would say the films will be our children’s inheritance. I will have done something for generations not even born yet. That is what drives me. If there is a Beethoven and a Rembrandt, why can’t there be a Greenspan?”
–I have to admit I wasn’t a Teena Marie fan, but we note her passing from a seizure at age 54. R&B singer Marie was white and became known as the “Ivory Queen of Soul.” She ended up being adored by black audiences. Discovered by Motown’s Berry Gordy in 1979, Marie was one of the few white acts to break the race barrier at the studio that was the haven for the likes of Stevie Wonder, the Jackson Five, the Supremes and Marvin Gaye. But the cover of her ’79 debut album, “Wild and Peaceful,” didn’t feature her image because Motown wasn’t sure if black audiences would buy it.
Marie would go on to collaborate with mentor Rick James on the duet “Fire and Desire” and the two shared both a professional and romantic relationship. His death in 2004 shook her to the point where she became addicted to Vicodin.
Marie was known for her pitch-perfect voice and had seven R&B top ten tunes, though only two that made it onto the Billboard top 40 pop chart, including the #4 “Lovergirl.” She once said, “Overall my race hasn’t been a problem. I’m a Black artist with White skin. At the end of the day you have to sing what’s in your own soul.”
–Looking for a New Year’s Eve punch recipe? Here’s one from Susannah Cahalan of the New York Post.
“Philadelphia Fish-House Punch,” the oldest known punch recipe, dated 1795.
1 pint of lemon or lime juice
7 pints of water
1 pound of best loaf sugar
Ice to taste
½ pint Jamaica rum
¼ pint Cognac brandy
¼ pint best peach brandy
Dissolve the sugar in the lemon or lime juice. Combine the ingredients and add ice. From the article, which was a review of a book called “Punch,” by David Wondrich, it emphasizes don’t skimp on the water in making the above.
–And now…the 2010 Bar Chat Awards!!! With your co-hosts TV Azteca’s Ines Sainz and comedian Shecky Greene! And as we start off, a reminder…the difference between an idiot and a jerk, as defined by Webster’s:
An idiot is “an ignorant person; foolish or stupid.” A jerk, on the other hand, is “annoyingly stupid or foolish.”
To me a jerk is fully aware of what they are doing, while an idiot lacks some of the basics. As for “dirtball,” there has to be something malicious in the behavior.
For example, ESPN’s Tony Kornheiser receives a jerk commendation for his remarks about fellow ESPN personality Hannah Storm’s wardrobe.
“Hannah Storm in a horrifying, horrifying outfit today,” Kornheiser said. “She’s got on red go-go boots and a catholic school plaid skirt…way too short for somebody in her 40s or maybe early 50s by now.
“She’s got on her typically very, very tight shirt. She looks like she has sausage casing wrapping around her upper body…I know she’s very good, and I’m not supposed to be critical of ESPN people, so I won’t…but Hannah Storm…come on now! Stop! What are you doing?”
An idiot award to the air traffic controller at JFK Airport who thought letting his child direct planes there was a good idea during the kid’s winter break.
An a-hole, jerk and idiot trifecta for Donna Simpson, a 42-year-old woman who weighs 604 pounds but said she has a “fantasy” of surpassing 1,000 pounds. Simpson apparently holds the record as the heaviest woman to ever give birth when she weighed 532 pounds in 2007.
A jerk award for Olympic snowboarder Scotty Lago, who allowed a girl to kiss his bronze medal – which was affixed to his pants and covering his crotch. Numerous photos emerged on the Web and he was forced to leave Vancouver early.
A jerk award for former Giants running back Tiki Barber, who ran around New York with his young mistress while his pregnant wife spent a week in the hospital. Barber was then slapped with divorce papers. Tiki was a double jerk for not recognizing that his gallivanting with “sultry” 23-year-old former NBC intern Traci Lynn Johnson would cost him his “Today” show and NBC Sports gigs.
An a-hole award for defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth of the Washington Redskins who was suspended a few weeks ago after a season-long bout of insubordination, this despite receiving $21 million in bonus money last spring even as he never got into shape and missed mini-camp. Haynesworth would later say his overall $100 million contract doesn’t make him a slave to the team.
“I guess in this world we don’t have a lot of people with, like, backbones,” Haynesworth said. “Just because somebody pay you money don’t mean they’ll make you do whatever they want or whatever. I mean, does that mean everything is for sale?
“I mean, I’m not for sale. Yea, I signed the contract and got paid a lot of money, but…that don’t mean I’m for sale or a slave or whatever.”
Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young receives a jerk award for walking out on the team and coach Jeff Fisher and then texting an apology to Fisher.
A collective idiot award to those in China who believe tiger and rhino body parts are aphrodisiacs.
A jerk award for Washington Nationals center fielder Nyjer Morgan, who was suspended for three separate on field incidents in a 10-day period, including directing “inappropriate comments” towards fans.
But the “Jerk of the Year” award goes to…LeBron James for “The Decision.” And because of the way he treated the city of Cleveland, LeBron picks up the “A-hole of the Year” trophy as well.
As for the “Dirtball of the Year,” we have two winners…Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Mets reliever Francisco Rodriguez, a.k.a. K-Rod; the former having assaulted a young college girl in a nightclub bathroom, the latter having assaulted his girlfriend’s father.
And a special “Scumbag of the Year” to quarterback Brett Favre, who on Wednesday was fined $50,000 for failure to cooperate with the NFL in its investigation of the Jenn Sterger ‘sexting’ case where he sent her photos of his private parts. Favre also picks up an Honorary Jerkorate for his entire body of work the past 3-4 years for jerking around numerous franchises, teammates, and fans.
But the “Idiot of the Year” hardware goes to none other than yours truly. Yes, moi. Why? Because after a fast start at the plate, I decided to buy not one, but two, Rod Barajas jerseys, whereupon the catcher went into a huge slump and was shipped to the Dodgers; leaving my brother and I with worthless Barajaswear. [My brother is in no way part of the award, you understand, unless he was caught wearing the jersey in nearby Chatham.]
Good Guy Award…because unlike the above, there are a handful of decent people in this country.
Taylor Swift, for donating $500,000 for flood relief in Nashville.
James Gandolfini, for helping dig out a stranded motorist in his Greenwich Village neighborhood just the other day during the blizzard. “The beefy actor…helped dig and then push out the stranger’s car – and then popped into a nearby bar and restaurant, Daddy-O, to change a $100 bill to tip others who pitched in to help out.”
Said the owner of Daddy-O, “Bedford Street didn’t get plowed until late Monday night, and the whole street was a 3-foot drift of snow. Somebody driving down the street got stuck…and the next minute, James Gandolfini appeared from another car and offered to help out.
“He helped dig their car out and then rocked it back and forth to get it out of the snow bank. He used a lot of old-school elbow grease.
“It took him 45 minutes to get the car unstuck” with the help of others who started coming out of the bars and restaurants to see what was going on.
“Some offered to help, and others just watched because you don’t often see Tony Soprano digging people out of the snow. It was a real New York moment.”
So then Tony Soprano popped into the bar and rather than order a drink, changed the $100 to give $20s to those who helped. “He was a real gentleman.”
And a Good Guy trophy to Washington Capitals player Brooks Laich, who, following a devastating Game 7 loss to the Montreal Canadiens, was driving home across a Potomac River bridge linking Washington and Virginia.
A woman and her 14-year-old daughter, on their way back from the game, had hit a pothole. Their vehicle was disabled in the treacherous traffic. Laich, whose team had just blown a 3-1 lead in the playoff series, could have driven by. But instead he pulled over and asked the stranded fans whether he could help. Laich then spent 40 minutes changing the tire and apologizing for the Capitals’ loss. He wasn’t looking for any publicity, but word got out when the daughter promptly updated her Facebook page.
But the winner and “Good Guy of the Year” is Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga, who in a game that will forever be part of baseball lore, had a perfect game for 8 2/3 innings, only to lose it when umpire Jim Joyce blew a close call at first for what should have been the final out in a perfecto. After the game, as Joyce cried over his mistake, Galarraga handled the whole situation with amazing grace and dignity.
Finally, we have our “Animal of the Year” trophy. Last year it went to the great fillies Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta (she’s technically a mare at this point). This year it goes to Man’s Best Friend…Dog, perhaps best exemplified by the story first passed on to me by Brad K. (the fellow who wrestles bears in his backyard in rural New Jersey).
Recall the bit from Lake Worth, Fla., as reported by NBC.
“A Florida family’s Golden Retriever is being called a canine hero, while the family’s cats should probably be sent to the ‘dog house.’
“Bubba, the retriever, started barking when flames erupted inside the Lake Worth duplex just before midnight.”
To make a long story short, Bubba’s quick actions saved three people in a fire that occupants believe “may have started when the family cat knocked over a burning candle.”
Typical. The house was totaled. Our funds sent to the American Red Cross helped find the three temporary housing and food…all because of the cat.
But an honorary “Animal of the Year” gold-plated milk bone to the Beagle species. Let’s face it, these former rabbit hunters had become lazy, spending their days on top of dog houses, but when the bed bug crisis hit, beagles, such as Roscoe, sprang into action and have been doing yeodog’s work ever since in showing Man just where to apply the instant freeze, thus possibly saving the Human Race from extinction.

NFL Quiz Answer: 20+ yards per catch (1,000 yards receiving). 2004 – Ashley Lelie, Denver, 20.1; 1998 – Eric Moulds, Buffalo, 20.4; 1991 – Michael Haynes, Atlanta, 22.4.
