Bowls Quote by Woody Paige
![“Because of television, sports columnists have become personalities. I went to a party [during Super Bowl week] and there must have been 500 people who wanted to talk to me because they saw me on TV. I've become sort of the Soupy Sales character on TV, and people do not really know me as a writer.” quote by Woody Paige](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/397/woody-paige-87870_bowls_because-of-television-sports-columnists_2983733.jpg)
