By the end of last season, Floyd was calling Steve Young "Bar Young," Jerry Rice "Bar Rice," and for offensive tackle Harris Barton, who's Jewish, Floyd came up with "Bar Mitzvah." (SF Chronicle) A recent comment by Ted Turner about his baseball team, the Atlanta Braves, made it obvious someone else counts his money. Speaking about how his team got its big lead in the National League East he said, "We've had some help from the Phillies. Haven't they lost nine of their last eight?" (SF Chronicle)
