Sit behind the bench at NBA games and make sure the dress code is followed, which includes measuring the size of gold pendants.

But, please, Michael, stay away from the Stonewall Golf Club at Lake Manassas or Whiskey Creek in Ijamsville, unless you're willing to dodge golf balls thrown by at least one hacker from the woods. Go ahead, out me to Golf Digest.

Our Guys Are Undefeated

Love those Virginia Tech Hokies. Our Hokies. They are Our Hokies now, of course, being ranked third nationally at 7-0 after beating Maryland, 28-9, being the largest university in the Commonwealth of Virginia, located in College Town, USA (Blacksburg), with nearly 30,000 registered alumni living in the Washington metro area.

Here are some more reasons why they're Our Hokies now:

Of the 54,838 fans at Byrd Stadium Thursday night, did you see how many fans were wearing Virginia Tech stuff? How did so many Hokies fans get tickets? If Maryland ticket holders were selling tickets to Hokies fans, should the Redskins Ticket Police be alerted? Aside: Why did Maryland students wear all black? Do they think they live in Oakland?

How can you not love a team named by a student in 1896 for something that doesn't exist? It's like a Hoya.

How can you not love Marcus Vick, brother of Falcons phenom Michael Vick? Marcus ran 16 times against Maryland for 133 yards, scored a touchdown, and was 14 for 23 for 211 yards. Marcus afterward said he was terrible because he'd thrown three interceptions that the Terps turned into zero points. I think Marcus is great. My friend, the scout, believes Marcus throws better than Michael. Wow. Better than Michael?
