turn out the lights...

...the party's over.

No, Bokolis didn't die out there on the tarmac. The plane made it to where it was going...no Matt Busby songs about me.


"Turn out the lights, the party's over," is what Dandy Don used to sing/croon/whatever- way back when- in the MNF booth when he figured a game was decided. Even though it meant my ass had to go to sleep, it never seemed to get old.

Unfortunately, he did, and he checked out on Dec. 5.

Among his other gems,


referring to Nixon as "Tricky Dick,"
way before Twitter and Facebook, changing his status to "mile-high" on the opening intro of a game in Denver,

and

as of an undefined point in the 1970's, not having met a fair hooker.

Suave, homes. While I'm stuck listening to Jon Gruden this evening, Bokolis will shoot one back for you.
