You just won another one, beating out Clint Black, the cast of ' Hee-Haw,' and . . . That fat guy with the cowboy hat who always wins everything. It is not uncommon to fantasize about winning when we are watching these awards shows. This is supposedly a very American thing. In fact, a few months ago, I was watching that big dog show they have on cable every year, and when I came back into the living room with a beer, my dog was in front of the TV, bowing and holding one of her tug toys.
Dogs can be so human .
At a charity event in January, I met Karl Nelson, a former right tackle for the Giants, who back in the Eighties won . . . Of course, everyone wanted to meet him and shake his hand. This is what happens when you win something important. I don't know what came over me, but when I shook his hand, I lied and told him that I had won the Super Bowl, also. I told him I didn't know them well enough to take the ring, so I took the ankle bracelet instead.
