Expanding the Vision

August 13th, 2007 · No Comments

I’m always up for alternative training methods…Any way that gets you to be a ‘raw dog’, push it.

Solid move by ESPN to bring back Bud Collins…

How did I miss this one…?!

Yes, how did I miss the PBS documentary, “Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story”?
I should be banned from a DVR for two weeks on this one. I pulled an airball with my selector, and I missed the show. I’m praying that WUNC will pull me a huge favor […]

Farewell to General Walsh

August 3rd, 2007 · No Comments

Innovative leaders come in very small doses these days…
Which is why I became intrigued with the innovations and life of Bill Walsh, who passed this past week at the age of 75 from leukemia.
Growing up a Chicago Bears fan, I have to admit that I had a major bias against his legacy until after his […]
