Mark Twain: “Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.”
Lincoln

Dewey at the Super Bowl
Michaels and Madden played off each other as well as ever, too.
When Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger went over to the sideline trying to decide what play to call, Michaels said: "He has a 150 to 200 plays on that wristband so maybe they needed some help with the Dewey decimal system to find it."
"Just imagine what the print looks like on that," Madden responded.
"You gotta have Ted Williams' eyesight," Michaels theorized.
