• Tom Brady and Tampa Bay beat the Seattle Seahawks in the first-ever game played in Germany Sunday. The players say they were stunned by the deafening roar of the stadium crowd there. It's why you never ask a woman her age, a man his salary or a German why his grandpa is from Argentina.
• Mel Brooks recently cited Richard Pryor for writing most of the hilariously offensive racial jokes in Blazing Saddles. Every subject was fair game for jokes in those days. After Richard caught fire while smoking cocaine in 1980 I joked that he's started a charity called the Ignited Negro College Fund.
