Goodbye Frank. We'll always have Frank Minnifurd (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Minnifield).

My understanding of the man, was that he was nice and decent man.

You know he had to be a patient man, being married to Kathy Lee...

Ya, ya, cheap shot pb. I missed him when he got booted, he was a good commentator that was not easily replaced. Ya, he cheated on Kathy Lee left right and center, but that sting operation by ESPN was way over the line.

Sting operation? Is this a deflate gate joke or was that an actual thing?

I just remember Kathy Lee being on every show on TV for six months.

I miss the good ol' days when your business was your business.

Guys who are celebrated today (Michael Irvin comes to mind), would have been banned for life if there were camera's and mic's crawling up their ass 24/7.

Remember "The White House"?? Hollywood Henderson - goes out and pisses away his money from his playing days, then wins the lottery - WTF?? lol...

And our own Max McGee playing in the SB with a whopper of a hangover - nowadays he would have been deactivated for not making curfew.

Seriously? You didn't know (or don't remember) that?

ESPN and some Enquirer level rag paid the stewardess you refereed to above to have hidden microphones and cameras in the motel room they were staying at. Various dollar amounts were reported, but it was around $100k I believe. Google tells me her name was Suzen Johnson. heh heh, I said Johnson - about that level of entertainment.
