Surprised Davis didn’t remember doing something like that? Al-zheimer Davis??? Hope not. Ugly disease. Great story though.

LOL. Wow. Reaching into the barrel to find successful 80 year olds now, to make the case that Al’s in his prime? The kool aid flows 24/7/365. ha ha. So who do we have so far? Meadowlark Lemon? Keep ‘em coming.

Merry Christmas Al bashers and kool aid drinkers, and those of you who think you’re all pragmatic and above the fray when you know you’re kool aid drinkers. And a happy nuevo ano prospero with much dinero and patron and cuervo and maybe Modelo!

Down here in New Orleans there is an older man name Dr. Norman Francis. He is the president of Xavier University. This guy is like Al Davis (sharp as a tack).

He was named the most powerful man in New Orleans just two years ago and he was appointed to head the Hurricane Katrina recovery in Louisiana by Bush in 2005. This man is always on TV doing great things for that University and the City of New Orleans.

He is the longest current sitting president of any College or University in the United States at over 41 years serving. The man is still going and shows no signs of slowing down. He’s got to be 80 plus.

So I can still see how Al can still have it going.

Even pushing 80, former Globetrotter Meadowlark Lemon is still basketball’s Clown Prince
He left the Globetrotters more than 30 years ago and reportedly is pushing 80, but the “ageless” Clown Prince of Basketball — he puts his age at “between 118 and 150″ — is not retired.
He left the Globetrotters, he says, to bring more balance to his life. An ordained minister and Christian evangelist, he awakens daily at 4 a.m. Then, after stretching, shooting baskets and running wind sprints for 2½ hours, he turns to his ministry. As an evangelist, he says, he makes more than 100 appearances a year.
He also finds time to play 60 to 80 games annually, his next scheduled for this weekend in Anchorage, Alaska. That’s down from the 350 a year he used to play with the Globetrotters worldwide, but still quite a load for a near-octogenarian.

Tonight’s game is proof that an NFL QB’s success is directly related to his supporting cast. Tony Romo is good. But with the talent they have at WR, all three QBs have looked damn good. And Skelton was the hero tonight because of Fitz. If we ever want to have a great passing offense, we have to overhaul the WR position no matter who the QB is.
