Forget the Bradley effect, what about the Byner effect?
Friday, October 24th, 2008Much talk in recent weeks about the so-called Bradley effect.
The Bradley effect is named after former Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, an African-American who ran for California governor in 1982. Exit polls showed Bradley leading by a wide margin, and the Democrat thought it would be an early election night.
But Bradley and the [...]
Congrats to Rays
Monday, October 20th, 2008Losing to the Rays just doesn’t sting like losing to the Evil Empire. There is a lot to like about the Rays from the local connections (Rocco Baldelli and Carlos Pena) to the quirky manager to the worst to first angle.
The Red Sox were a gritty, fun team to watch, filled with players who [...]

Manny called out as “despicable”
Thursday, October 9th, 2008Tim McCarver may suck as an announcer, but he’s 100% correct to call Manny despicable. I prefer “complete disgrace to humanity” myself, but this is a start.

I have never despised an athlete like I do Manny Ramirez. See here, [...]

Short Bob Kraft?
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008Dennis Kozlowski’s over-the-top Roman themed birthday bash for his wife in Sardina. The Enron corporate headquarters. The Blackstone IPO. All of these were, in retrospect, signs of a market top. Should we add Patriot Place to the list?
I have been thinking about that since I saw the previews over the [...]
Sometimes it really is a field of dreams, part II
Monday, September 8th, 2008Stan Grossfeld wrote a wonderful story on Thursday in the Boston Globe. It touched me on many different levels, I blogged about it a couple of days ago,
A die hard Red Sox fan from Utah promised his sons that he would take them to Fenway Park to see a game this summer. The father, James [...]
Sometimes it really is a field of dreams
Thursday, September 4th, 2008Warning: Hankie Alert
A very touching story in today’s Boston Globe. I couldn’t help but be reminded what a central role the game of baseball played in my childhood, and in my relationship with my father.
A die hard Red Sox fan from Utah promised his sons that he would take them to Fenway Park to [...]
Jim Lampley doesn’t belong in Beijing
Monday, August 11th, 2008Is the job of ’studio host’ so difficult that NBC absolutely must have Jim Lampley anchoring their billion dollar coverage? Couldn’t they have found someone less polarizing, like Keith Olberman?
Lampley was arrested for domestic violence last year in an ugly incident involving a girlfriend, his 14-year old son, drugs and alcohol. [...]
