I'll bet none of his eight mention will win it either.

Ah the poison pen, I'd rather reread war and peace than anything he writes.

I heard he and Bill Heller are good friends...LOL

The BEST of friends.

I missed the day those two almost came to blows in the press box,
that marked the end of the Saturday pool up there.
I also recalled he (Finlay) bitched because the press box didn't have the NFL ticket on closing weekend a few years back.

Yeah, I thought it was an odd comparative choice myself.

I suppose that any book that you are forced to read by a professor or teacher is never as much fun as those you choose to read on your own.
I was forced to read it. I really should read it again sometime.
Bill Finley spews more venom than a King Cobra. I've never been able to figure out why someone with so much obvious negativity towards something chose to make a career by writing about it. This has never made sense to me.
