I'm not much ol a Ian of any ol the various non-motor ized wheel tamtly It may make me a bad person, but t make no bones about my great love tor the Kjd old automobile Not to men tion I get to places a hell ot a lot taster , • Cholesterol I remember as a kKl eating Twinkles, pizza and ice cream without worrying about heart attacks and heart disease and all that other dumb stutl Now, as a young, supposedly mature adult about to graduate from college (and only after eight years ot hard work). I am forced to actually feel a twinge ol regret as I continue slutting my tace with box after box ol greasy pizza and case after case ol Ben & Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk • Speaking of eating. I’ll never understand people that lee! the need to eat a tour-course meal in the middle ol class I usually try to take advantage of one ol the other 18 hours that I have free during my day to take care of my daily nourishment. • Ace Frehley’a agent. She doesn't know a good thing when she sees it, man • Ahmad Rashad's secretary Ditto • Among others that rub me wrong. I'd like to acknowledge those tew sports writers that proved the old theory about a bad apple spoiling a bunch or some thing like that Although I teamed a lot of good things about being a sports reporter and editor from the writers at the Register-Guard and the Oregonian. I also figured out Shat sports writers are some of the biggest treeloading mooches known to man Never happy unless there is something free involved, most sports writers are more worried about their place in line at the media bullet table than they are about how many passes Danny O'Neil has completed this halt Along these Sines. I'd like to thank the sports writer that hoarked my souvenir Rose Bowl hat (more tree stud) Irom the press bo* m Pasadena Though I’m not a big proponent of tree stuff, I could have at least sold it And what about Austin Murphy ot Sports lllustratmfr Here's a guy that came into my life, ate two slices of my pi//a (free stuff), and then didn't even use any of my quotes in his Civil War story on the Ducks. Oh, the nerve. Good or bad, mean and nice, German or not: Mel/ loves you all Now (or the people that real ly mattered A writer is nothing with out the readers Though it was obvious that some people take the printed word much too seri ously, I took back with fond mem ories at my love and hate mail Before I c ame to the Emerald, I was never aware that I had such a "sick mmd." a tact so eloquently pointed out by a reader — we'll call him Herb Irom Germany tor our purposes I was also not aware that I lacked so much baseball knowledge Although I'm quite confident as to my mental stability and I'm pretty sure that i'm well-versed in the game of baseball, 1 welcomed reader input So to my Ians and non-fans alike — I say thank you Also. I must thank my editor Kaly Soto and the powers that be at the Emerald lot allowing me to develop a bona fide "Sports Sec tion" that included a full, front page ol sports What used to be a smailer-scale production, the sports section ballooned into a completely separate section this year And what kind of guy would for get the people that make things tick? Without Kris "Red" Henry. Trevor “Tree" Kearney and Mark "Mark" McTyre. my life as a tross would have sucked. Above and beyond the call of duly best describes this tough-guy trio Three more depend,!We guys I've never seen — not to mention they are damn good writers Did I forget anybody?
