Lost Mailbag and Deathwatch
By Seth Grunlode In my last posting promoting this mailbag my comment of "Jack's lack of a scar" was taken the wrong way by a lot of you. Here is the scoop...

Interview of TheSportsBank.net founder Paul M. Banks

In the "dream day" question, I love how the filters for the discussion thread have "Redskins suck" (this is a Dallas Cowboys fan site after all) repeated five times in place of the naughty word I used.
