Albert, U.S. A Big (-), winning hockey gold does not hide

February 22, 2026

I finally put it on, the great Pat Cooper, as I am about to do for better or worse, one who spoke his mind often criticizing non talents, thus it is with great justice, I condemn the fact Kenny Albert got to call the Olympics hockey.

However, the Olympics mean nothing to me, the hype for this U.S. hockey “gold” will not approach that of 46 years ago. Thank goodness for small favors.

Anywho, of course OT, I knew U.S. and it was (2-1). I shut it off, as I have to with all sports as even Albert, is not as bad as many others, and do not know the overtime goal scorer.

One day I will reveal more Albert stories, maybe not, just know that though Marv(“Merv”) could not vouch for my character, I refrained from piling on him when I had a chance back in ’97.

Yet I suffer so, knowing Kenny Albert, too big to appear on my show and more important devoid of talent (his strength is vitamins, quantity, perspiration over inspiration and I must accept that!!), has so much, in sharp juxtaposition to me.

Steve and Al were good ones, “Merv” ignores J.R. —a rotten business, a failed country, a failed “my” life but at least I know U.S. hockey winning gold does not change it.

In fact the hype afforded it, and that it got, after delayed tape semi-win in ’80, contributed mightily to its failure!!

I will concede–“charade” along “sour Don Cherry nickname.” Now all this snow!!
