This bit of dialog took place between Al Davis and me at today’s Hue Jackson intro which far outstripped Hue.

Al: You know, I think you’d sell a lot more newspapers if you were nicer to me. I really do.

Lowell: You don’t think I’m nice to you.

Al: I don’t know. They say you’re not.

Lowell: That’s because you went to Erasmus. (Al went to Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn. I went to Midwood. Erasmus and Midwood were rivals. I was joking.)

Al: Dear Old Erasmus.
