“If only Ed Fleming had a mother who gave such sound advice. The manager of Wazoo's, a downtown Denver restaurant, Fleming is a CSU alum who has been darned giddy about the Rams' recent success. So giddy that he donned a necklace made of Pez candies, a red blazer - and nothing else.

“Maybe the guy drank red wine or beer with breakfast instead of milk.”

“He who kills the cheer springs for beer.”

“He probed himself like a doctor searching for inflammation. Did it hurt here? Did he feel the loss there?

“Think of your pain like a bunch of red roses, a beautiful thorn necklace. Everyone has one.”

“[what men are thinking] I'd like a beer and I'd like to see something naked.”
