    Dolphins WR Anthony Anderson is great in the television series Law & Order, Wednesday nights at 10:00 EST/9:00 CST on NBC.

    @Alper
    Its LP Field. But while I’m at it let me just say you do a damn good job with these one-liners. Seems like they would take a man several hours to compile and I think a lot of folks overlook that. Anyways, keep up the good work.

    I second that.
    Plus, it’s a nice break from the barrage of McNarvreick or Cow-kings/Vikeboys news…

    Should have an “Alper Appreciation Day”… the guy doesn’t get the respect he deserves. When it comes to Florio, Rosenthal, Wilson, etc, it always seems like Alper is sitting at the kids’ table.
    Recognize the man, Florio!
