  1. In the old days, before the remote was invented, watching four or five college and pro football games, a guy could get as much exercise changing channels as a wide receiver.

  2. The 4th football cartoon by ‘Randolph’ is a real classic. I really like the fact you put a Syverson cartoon at the top, just like they were on top of the Post Scripts page in the older magazine issues. You’ve had other requests for its return, and this gives the online cartoon pages that familiar (but previously missing) traditional, fun connection. In addition, there should be one for any topic or occasion throughout the year.
