At the time, he was my main cohort in playing with football cards, so this was devastating news for us both. <br /><br />John (Heath High School Class of '83!) was so distraught, in fact, that he said he just couldn't bear to allow his mom to merely throw the cards away--that he was either giving them to me or he was going to destroy them with darts and a cigarette lighter. He brought me his two favorites--his <a href="http://shop.sportsworldcards.com/ekmps/shops/sportsworld/images/st-louis-cardinals-jim-hart-510-topps-1975-nfl-american-football-trading-card-22206-p.jpg" rel="nofollow">1975 Jim Hart</a> and his <a href="http://www.footballcardgallery.com/pics/1975-Topps/40_Mel_Gray_football_card.jpg" rel="nofollow">1975 Mel Gray</a>--but I told him that I just couldn't accept them. And so John left, and I figured his great collection of cards was doomed. Oh, I cried and cried and cried.<br /><br />Ultimately, however, John's mom relented, and we played with football cards for several years more. In that spirit, I'm hoping that the suits at NBC read this post today and roll out an alternative service before things get rolling in London on Friday.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-21615833868775631612012-07-25T10:38:31.128-04:002012-07-25T10:38:31.128-04:00Yes, it is.
