Excellent article. I tried it just this afternoon and there wasn’t the usual mess crumbs under my desk and in my lap. Thanks for the sound advice. Saved me all the embarrassment that comes with crumbs. The staring. The laughter behind my back. Read more

This is it for Sid. I remember an interview he did with Peter Mansbridge a few years ago where Mansbridge asked him what he thought his legacy to the game would be.
