I got an awesome text from Mark Howe on Friday afternoon which read “Dad, Marty n I saw interview. Turned out great. Thx”

And thank you Howe family for the opportunity. Hopefully I’ll get to chat with Gordie sometime soon and let him bring you up to date with the latest on the incredible life of Mr. Hockey.

Unfortunately I missed Saturday night’s Clippers’ win over Denver and more importantly getting the best joke from Blake Griffin for you. If you don’t know, my running gag with the star of the Blake Show is for him to show us that he’s really not a boring interview (as described in a recent L.A. Times story). I bought him a thick book with over 7,400 jokes which he said he read plenty of on that long Grammy road trip. But Blake told me this past week (with a giggle and that sheepish grin) that he only remembered the dirty ones so that the next time we met up, he’d have a good one for me to share with you. So as N.Y. Jets linebacker Bart Scott’s new patented (literally) phrase states: “Can’t wait!”
Stay tuned…

Please check out my interviews (below) with three of the Hall of Fame golfers who are playing in this week’s Champions Tour event in Newport Beach. Tom Watson, Bernhard Langer, and Mark O’Meara all talk about their games amongst other topics going into the Toshiba Classic. And you add Masters champ Fuzzy Zoeller into the mix and it’s guaranted smiles for anyone who plays the game or just sits back and marvels how these guys can hit that stupid ball so cleanly for so many years…
