Odd Couple
This week Sports Illustrated has a small piece on former Alabama quarterback Jay Barker (QB of national championship team in 1992) getting married to a country music singer of some sort. No big deal there, but then the piece casually mentions that Barker hosts a radio show in Birmingham, Ala., with former place-kicker Al Del Greco. Huh??!! How do you just drop that and walk away. The Auburn-Alabama thing aside, how did these two end up doing a radio show together? And what is a guy named Al Del Greco doing sticking around Birmingham, Ala.? And, most of all, why does he have a listing on IMDB?
I tried to explain the overall oddness of this to Debbie but, having heard of neither of the aforementioned odd couple, she seemed pretty non-plussed. Thus, it is now a blog. Make of it what you will.

I read that in SI and didn't give it too much thought. I've always thought Al Del Greco was too great a name for just a kicker. Kick returner might have been better: Al Del Greco to the 15, Al Del Greco to the 10, Al Del Greco to the 5 and into the end zone. A thrilling run by Al. Del. Greco.
Speaking of kickers, how did Matt Stover get so much clout?
