Shaking and stirring and hoping for a safe holiday weekend to one and all.  And at the same time always recomending The Corkscrew for quality liquid refreshment.

Enjoy with a discerning friend.  Or an attractive stranger.

Don Shula.  One coach synonymous with one word more than any other  - winning.

Jim Brown.  Two syllables that merit  the ultimate two-word salute even more than four decades after his football finale - the best.

Don Shula and Jim Brown.  Together and separate, Sunday night on Fox Sports Xtra.  Rare one-on-one visits with two icons who are arguably the best-ever at their respecdtive NFL positions.  And we talk with them both for reasons that have nothing to do with the NFL, past or present.  Appointment holiday weekend viewing.

Also on the Suday night menu, what's wrong with Roy, as in Oswalt.  What's up with Yao, as in Ming, as in post injury and pre-Beijing.

Sports Xtra after Nascar fun and frolic.  On Fox.  And enjoy the Russian River Pinot Noir.  Before, during, after.

Also, remember the monthly Astros quiz here at MyFoxHouston.  Click the sports tab.  Fresh topic each and every month.  In June, test yourself and discover everything Berkman.  Bet The Bloggorrhea beats you.
