Blowing out the Candles
- Happy Birthday Marion “the Barbarian” Barber, a great downhill runner for the Dallas Cowboys. We fondly remember you here in Chicago for going out of bounds and helping us lose against the Tim Tebow led Denver Broncos. I still have night sweats. But lets flip the coin and watch the Barbarian get absolutely plowed by Julius Peppers.
- Happy Birthday Randy Johnson, by far the ugliest dominant pitcher of the 20th century. I do not think PETA will be calling him soon. Nobody wants to see him naked and Randy is an animal killer, literally.
