Football took Rob Lytle to great heights: All-American at Michigan, touchdown in Super Bowl XII, College Football Hall of Fame. Then he died from CTE.

I moved from Detroit in 1988 to work w you at MSG. GF had a law practice, couldn't come with me. My 2 kids were teens, had friends, ditto. I knew NO ONE, was alone in NYC. Each nite after games, you & JJ made SURE to take me out with you. I will NEVER forget your kindness to me!

YIKES! Twitter just let me know that it was 4 years ago TODAY that I joined! I NEVER wanted to be here, thought it merely the province of dumb jocks & rappers. Eli & @DrewMikePodcast asked me to come on to publicize our podcast. NO regrets. I've really enjoyed rapping with you!

First Wilt, with whom I did an interview MSG folks still remember & talk about. I was very fond of him. THEN my pal Bob Lanier whom I loved dearly. NOW Willis Reed, with whom I had a really good relationship all my NY years, is gone. It's heartbreaking - damn near every day now.

As I did often, sitting in the NYC apartment watching the re-runs. The very appearance of my great personal hero, Jethro Bodine, makes me laugh out loud. When he starts speaking, I often LOSE it! Younger GF walks into the room: "I have NEVER heard you laugh so loud in my LIFE!"

A really nice guy but painfully shy. After he'd been a hero in a World Series game at San Diego in '84, he hid in the trainer's room. We had a good relationship so I stood at the door saying a big throng of national media were outside; he HAD to come speak to us! He never did.

The best local TV News anchor I ever saw (incl my yrs in NY) was Detroit's Bill Bonds. I worked w him 2 yrs. Ted Knight did an appearance on our Ch 7, then went into Bonds' empty office. When he arrived, Ted was relaxing in Bonds' chair, said, "Sorry, Bill. You've been replaced!"

Won the Maxwell Trophy, nation's best player, as a SAFETY for a mediocre Michigan State team (I was THERE)! Also played a little basketball & with a 95-mph fastball pitched some for the baseball team. Larger than life at MSU! GOOD guy died tragically of a heart attack at just 57.

@Jimfrombaseball Cool pic of Gibson with glasses. I had him on TV shows & liked him. I also had Ryne Duren on - great guy. Ryne deliberately wore glasses so hitters would think he had no idea where HIS 100+ mph fastballs were going - & sometimes he didn't! Gibby shoulda kept HIS scary glasses!

THAT is what the great Mike Schmidt looks like now?! He's one of the very few MLB players about whom there can be NO arguments. Brooks Robby was better defensively, Eddie Mathews was great both ways, but Schmidt IS the greatest all-around third baseman who ever lived.

OK, fellow Michiganians, I just broke down. The Tigers are showing all of us enuff to make them enjoyable again, so, back in NYC now, I've subscribed to MLB Extra Innings 2 C the games! And since we've ALL been ripping Avila on occasion, much credit to him 4 signing Wily Peralta.

Drafted by the FL's out of Florida St in '65. Owner Blithering Billy Ford & his evil, incompetent henchman Russ Thomas lowballed Biletnikoff AND John Hadl AND Johnny Robinson, whom they also drafted. Thomas growled, "There's no way those guys will sign with that BULLSHIT league!"

I covered him from Day One with the Tigers in '76. We had a family reunion in Anaheim years ago. Mark and I were SHOCKED to run into each other at the hotel! He was signing at a card show. My mother loved The Bird. I took a pic of the two of them. It's up in my home to this day.

Did you know "Steady Eddie" played high school baseball in his native Cincinnati with - PETE ROSE?Based on performance, scouts saw Brinkman rather than Rose as the future superstar! When he was a senior, Eddie hit .460 & won 15 games as a pitcher - including a perfect game.
