679...O. J. Simpson, Kathy Gifford, Frank Gifford

Belated happy birthday wishes to Kathy Lee Gifford and her husband, former USC football star, New York Giants football star and long time ABC sports announcer, primarily on NFL Monday Night Football.

Yesterday was the big day at the Gifford household. Both sides of the bed had a birthday. 56 for her and 79 for him.

Their birthday reminded me of a joke that was making the rounds during O. J. Simpson's trial for allegedly killing his wife, a charge that most of you are aware of, he was acquitted of by a jury of his peers.

The joke was: "If an NFL Hall of Fame running back had to mercilessly stab his wife to death, why couldn't it have been Frank Gifford?"

During the same time as Mr. Simpson was dominating the news Mrs. Gifford was all over the TV, primarily as the co host of the morning talkshow Regis and Kathy Lee with Regis Philbin. Hence the joke.

643...Why Time Begins On Opening Day

Thomas Boswell, the Washington Post writer, said that about baseball.

Right sentiment, wrong sport.

Truly time begins on opening day for the NFL.

Time begins tonight.

It is on.

T. O., the biggest celebrity in the NFL and the Buffalo-Toronto Bills will be playing the Tennessee Titans, Steve McNair's old team, in the Hall of Fame game.

It is on.
