David Brenner. I still get a chuckle recalling his joke about airplane crashes. He wondered why the entire airplane isn't made of the same material as that little black box recovered after a crash.

I used to live at 29th and Cambridge and the blunt buddies I met there were always talking about him and his brother. His bar, Playmakers, on 27th is a total dump though. No Sunday ticket or nothing.

Staying with the Upper Darby theme -- Jim Croce, Dr. Jack Ramsey and Heisman Trophy winner Jon Cappelletti.

Non UD folks include Hardball's Chris Mathews, Frankie Avalon, Fabian and the O'Jays and Gamble and Huff.
