Ham at Clean-up

Anyone looked to see how he has fared at 4th versus 3rd? Sure the sample size is quite small but seems he has struggled at clean up. Just curious.

nope

There was a syndicated sports clip show on TV in the early 1990s called “Roggin’s Heroes”, starring Fred Roggin, a sportscaster from LA.

Officer Feldman was a bald headed dude that just stood there with a stoic look on his face the entire show.

It was like “George Michael’s Sports Machine”, but was funny, too.
