Was he any good?
Let's just say the other sock was put to good use.

No, that was the Cheeseburger in Paradise, you bastard. I can't believe you can't keep your memories straight on this.
No, Cheeseburger in Paradise is when you wanted to dress up like a road worker and play "bumper to bumper, in the backseat.
Your loss, son! Now you'll never know how accommodating an '87 Dodge Caravan with wood panel can be!
Donald Trump was and is the best president this country has ever had. And he will return to glory as our leader again.

How about you come over with a stick of butter and we'll make a blanket fort and play "baker in the mineshaft"?

He died 5 days from the day Rush Limbaugh died. Can't say I was a fan.

This does make 59-1/2 look more like the age to retire, while you can still do stuff without stroking-out 4x. RIP Frank.
Doesn't matter if you were a fan or not, he paid his dues in radio for the once Great Voice of the Great Lakes sports department.

I think I've seen pictures of him with cigars. But have no clue how often he lit up.

I think he received a cigar package on his farewell show last year.
