I have this blog… maybe you heard something about it, despite the fact that it’s been deeper in disappearance mode than Lamar Odom.
Ba-zing.
Anyway, some thoughts on what’s been going on in my absence. Let’s see, uh, we’ve been to the moon….
Seriously, the Lakers have been so bad through four Finals games that it not only […]

Lots of stuff going on lately - Dad’s in the hospital, the kids’s getting ready to graduate from high school - so blogging has sort of become the odd-activity-out. We’re live from the press box of York’s Sovereign Bank Stadium before the Barnstormers’ game, with tons of observational-type material stored in the hump….
We tape The Low […]

I’m now going to declare myself a pillar of naivete and gullability: I think Tom Brady is hurt.
There were a couple plays in the AFC championship game when an ankle injury to Brady could have taken place. I thought there were times after those plays when Brady’s mechanics seemed off, and an inability to push […]

debunking the dumbness

When Payton Manning played brilliantly but couldn’t get his team over the top in big games, the rap was that individual stuff means nothing, wins are the only thing that matters.
When Eli Manning’s team wins three straight road playoff games to get to the Super Bowl, now the wins don’t validate, and everybody wants to […]

I know he thinks he’s being funny, but still: Terry Bradshaw just picked the Giants because Eli Manning has the same TD/INT ratio as Rex Grossman did a year ago.
And we’re, uh, off…
This morning it was 18 degrees and windy as I walked from a building to my car. Actually ran. It took maybe 20 […]

Conference champ-game predictions

AFC: Tough to swim against the stream on this one. The Colts were the last best hope for somebody to beat the Patriots. San Diego came up with an heroic effort last week, but it’ll be tougher to play undermanned for a whole game, knowing it going in, than doing it on the fly.
The Chargers […]

The Sixers just got their first win of 2008, and yeah it was against dysfunctional, T-Mac-less Houston, but still. And now - what are the odds? - I’m watching the transcendent, “I’m into Nuggets y’all, I’m into Nuggets y’all..”
Now if they’d won at Denver, that would have been perfect. Think about it.
In other news…
*The question […]

holiday post-mortem

BPR is back after a holiday vacation with considerable blog stored in its hump…
Alamo Bowl: Please understand that This Space is not a fan of Anthony Morelli. He was not a good major-college quarterback, and wasn’t close to what Joe Paterno and his staff portrayed him to be.
His performance in San Antonio included a lot […]

In the wake of the news

The Mitchell Report on steroids, the latest major salvo in baseball’s longstanding public-relations war against itself, will be made public about 12 hours from now.
Journalists who’ve seen the report or talked to people who have say upwards of 100 players will be named as abusers of performance-enhancing substances. Mitchell had no subpeona power, and the report […]

So the Patriots got caught cheating three months ago, and their reaction - their coaches’ reaction in particular - was to turn this season into a crusade to stick it to the world and show everybody. This has led to the unsavory spectacle of guys ecstatically spiking the ball after touchdowns that put their team […]
