Happy Birfday...

"Match point and then - oh Mike, your 6-foot sub is here, Big Guy!"

....to longtime, all-time Xmastime Hall of Famer, Chris Mad Dog Russo! This one is more special than usual for me since my nephew has recently fallen under Mad Dog's spell (thank you Stephen A. Smith!).

My classic, one-for-the-history-books Mike & the Mad Dog post HERE.

Me meeting Dog on the phone as BFFs HERE.

Dog's dad calling into Mike's show the day after Dog left, which almost did the unthinkable: get Mike to almost show some emotion.

Also, go HERE to watch the ESPN 30 for 30 on them!
