Some of you may remember the shortlived early-'90s TV series "Brooklyn Bridge," which was created by Gary David Goldberg was about a Jewish family in Brooklyn in the 1950s. It's my dad's all-time favorite show, and not only because the main character had his same first and last name.
Anyway, the now-grown up star of the series, Danny Lanzetta, is back in the news. No, not a drug bust or anything- he merely wrote an angry letter to Bill Simmons about Sports Guy's longtime criticism of Patrick Ewing. If you ask me, the athletic hero of the fictional Alan Silver- Jackie Robinson- was much more admirable than Ewing.
Admirable ain't got nothing to do with it, Steve. I just received an email from your Dad, by the way. What a terrific guy. Was away all weekend and haven't had a chance to respond, but will do soon.
Thanks for passing along the email to him and alos for making sure to note that I wasn't involved in a drug bust.
