No problem, a hundred years ago when I got out of the news biz I seriously considered getting a degree in sports history. Unfortunately IIRC the place where I had to do it was the University of Birmingham in England and I ain't British and didn't live there, so that idea soon went by the wayside.

I love debunking myths and I have a saying that "things are often not as they seem" And by debunking myths, I don't believe in revisionism or conspiracy garbage, just the facts. They are usually far more interesting than any fairy tale.
