You've got to love fads. The concept is solid gold.
MIAMI - He doesn't know. Even if he has an inkling, he won't tell you. Perhaps you'll get one of his school-boy chuckles and "yes sirs" or "yes ma'ams." It could be just a grin and an "I don't know."

I have been a football season ticket holder since 1997.
