| Virginia's Mac McDonald is one of a kind |
|
In sports, certain play-by-play voices leave an indelible mark in the hearts of their fan bases.

| I Hate Mondays: The Barenaked Astros |
If I had a million dollars – if I had a million dollars – it’s possible that I would buy you a fur coat…or maybe I would buy myself a house…at the very least I would invest in the expensive ketchups when I eat Kraft dinner (even though I wouldn’t have to eat Kraft dinner).

Now, after the Orange Bowl, tell me who’s hot, who’s not. Tell me who rock, who sell out in the stores.

| The Jester’s Quart: Two for Hooking |
I miss hockey. In a big, pathetic way.
The other night I purposely overcooked some burgers on my George Foreman Grill just so I could slap-shoot them on a simulated power play in my living room. (My cat, Mr. Mittens, played the role of Olaf...

If nothing else, I strive for consistency.
I'm consistently late to important meetings. I get consistently angry at Virginia drivers who treat lane mergers like a M.I.T. entrance exam. And this column, by and large, is consistently awful.
