The Last Gasp

I find myself in a curious place. An unapologetically rabid Redskins fan since my childhood days, this offseason has seen a small, unfamiliar, almost alien sentiment creep into my middle-aged bones.

Indifference.

That’s a scary word for a guy like me. As my wife has occasionally noted and chided me for – I do nothing ‘halfway’. Whatever the passing interests have been during my nearly 50 years, when I’m attracted to something, I dive in and commit to it with an intense...

Enjoy every second you have.

We all have issues. Some are bigger than others, most are blown out of proportion. Deep down, we all think our problems are worse than they usually are in the grand scheme of things, but once in a while you or someone you love gets a swift kick in the nuts from reality, just to let you know who is really in charge.

Like many people, I have some health issues. Some minor, some just aggravations, others worry the hell out of me from time to time. As a result, I am on several medications...

Thank you, Dad

Today (depending on when you read this) is Father's Day. Time to reflect on everything my Dad has given me, and a time to appreciate him.

Especially for sports. There is something that bonds fathers and sons together when it comes to sports. I don't know what it is, I don't fully understand it. But I do know that I root for the Redskins because Dad has been a Skins fan for as long as I can remember.

I've been fascinated by the LeBron story over the past two weeks, during the NBA Finals. I grew up with Larry, Magic and Michael in the NBA, and with Riggo and Rypien in the NFL, clearly all the antithesis (antithesi: plural(?)) of what we saw from LeBron. 50 Gut wouldn't have worked so well if Riggo had fumbled the ball, on purpose, every hand off. I have never seen a player desert any and all responsibility to have a hand in winning the game as I saw from LeBron.

Unbelievable....

Burners Burning Questions: Off-season, Free Agency, Post-Draft Edition

Burners Burning Questions: Off-season, Free Agency, Post-Draft Edition

Greetings to one and all. Welcome to the off-season edition of BBQ. We will talk a bit about free agency and the 2011 draft as well. Let’s get to the questions.

1. First and foremost – will there be football in 2011?

The BBQ answer is a difficult one, but I believe we will. If a deal is forthcoming by July 4 (some owners see this as a key date), then we will probably see two games...
