So today (Sunday) I was sent to interview the Ali family of Queens, stars of that evening’s ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’. Only, no one in the office had thought to set this up ahead of time … and they apparently have an unlisted number. So I just show up at their doorstep around 6:30 […] JUST DO IT If New York loses Game 7 Wednesday night … these 2004 Yankees will go down as the greatest chokers in postseason history. If the Red Sox, the team synonymous with collapses, misfortune and despair, win Game 7, then, in a blink, the blackest mark in Yankees history will actually be darker than any disgrace in all Boston annals. The Yankees are gagging like a terrier on a chicken bone. And if they lose this series after having it in a strangle hold, nothing Boston has ever coughed up, from Bucky F.N. Dent to Bill F.N.

Kicked it the last mile to finish under 1:40 – 1:39:50 (net). “Clock” time was 1:41 flat. 7:37 pace, 500 out of 2,105 men running… |
