Cleaning out the Inbox

Time to dump the inbox a bit with several interesting items.

We start with a link to long time favorite Glen Campbell,who is on a farewell tour that actually will be one as Campbell fights the onset of Alzheimer's Disease.
Campbell recently played Kent Ohio as a stop on the tour and no,I was not in attendance.

Sorry to hear of the death of Greg Cook,the former phenom passer for the Cincinnati Bengals before suffering a shoulder injury that ended Cook's career,but would be easily fixed today.
Bill Walsh called Cook "The most talented QB that he ever saw".
High praise indeed.
Take a look at the amazing numbers for Cook in 1969 and one can see the point.
Look for a future feature on Greg Cook,who was 65.

Also sorry to hear of the death of boxing training legend Angelo Dundee,who trained Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard and 13 other champions, at the age of 90.
Dundee was a fixture in the corner of both of the noted greats and trained the pair to too many great wins to type.
If you were a boxing fan in the 60's,70's or 80's,you knew all about Angelo Dundee.

I recently wrote about my favorite Aunt Becky and her fear of the Cleveland Inner Belt Bridge.
Well,Becky sends me this link on the new Inner Belt Bridge,which was supposed to be followed by another bridge.
However,the funding for that has been delayed for as many as ten more years.
Infrastructure projects such as this are not only a great investment to communities,but they put people to work at a time that many could use it.

The new number one Browns beat writer with the transferring of Tony Grossi is Mary Kay Cabot,who pens an interesting article on her five years covering Bill Belichick in Cleveland.
Very good stuff as it appears that Cabot was able to get closer to Belichick than anyone else....

The Washington Post looks back at the 1972 NFC Championship game as the Redskins iced the Cowboys 27-3.The article mainly deals with the NFL's arcane blackout rule of the time,which meant that few local fans actually saw that game...

Huge fan of FX's Justified and this article looks at this years two new villains for Raylan Givens to battle or if you are a heel fan like me,for Boyd Crowder to fight for his share of the Harlan turf...

Finally,a quick Cavaliers note as Mychel Thompson was waived by the team.
From thirty minutes of floor time to released in two games-quite a swing there.

Back tomorrow with the Devils at MSG against the Rangers and the Cavaliers from Miami against the Heat and whathisname...
