Thanks Adam, really like these. Great interview of Kramer...very cool.
As for Teddy, quit thinking so much! Sometimes it's best just to play ball and be stupid.

Kramer was awesome. I never doubted that he was the face of the franchise. Thank you, Tommy. As the legend of Two Fisted Tommy goes, he'd be so hung over and wreaking of booze so badly in the huddle that the other guys would gasp for fresh air.
