    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Good morning folks. Up early to get in a jog before work. Beautiful morning in the east. We’ve had as nice a run of weather over the past three or four weeks as I can remember. Glad to see Pope reel in that massive center. I watched all the video I can find. He looks like he can move pretty...

    Cherif to UK

    Huge, in every use of the word. I've watched this kid's rise. He is a potential top five recruit by next spring. He's also a guy who lots of top recruits and portal guys will want to play with -- and he's already made Hampton a better player, forcing defenses to collapse and providing an...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Good morning folks. Some positives for the basketball Cats last night against weak competition. Saw some good things from Hawthorne, Kepnang and Zoom had his moments. Milan is everything he has been advertised to be. Cautiously optimistic. Great to see the football team poised at #6. Still a...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Good morning folks. Chilly and gray in the east. November, for sure. Chugging along on the subway. I need to get to work early. I suppose I’ll vote on my way home tonight. Polls open until 8…I can tell you voting in my county if Maryland in mid-cycle elections doesn’t amount to much; the...

    OT: Cam'ron Fletcher

    He's probably got a lot of good memories (I suspect on ANY campus a basketball jock is popular with coeds) and I hope a college degree mixed in from somewhere and probably a chance to make a few bucks in the lower reaches of Euro Ball (Don't laugh. A woman I work with has a son who played at a...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Good morning folks. Happy Monday. Been working from home since about 6am. Can't get used to the time change yet so might as well do something with my time. My wife has a crew of painters in changing the look of some of the rooms on our first floor. I didn't thin we needed it, but what the...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Hey, Bernie, sorry if I seemed argumentative. Just giving my opinion in what I intended to be a friendly way. Feigner was great at what he did, but in my opinion being a major league baseball player is such a specialized, and rare, accomplishment that his skills at fast pitch underhand likely...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Yeah, Bernie, but he's striking them out from 45 feet or whatever -- his fast pitch softball range. Those guys had no experience with that probably. IT's a whole different game. If he'd struck them out from 60 feet, six inches on a MLB mound, throwing a baseball, that would be convincing.

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Bernie -- For sure. I think he'd show up once or twice a year on the old Wide World of Sports shows. Maybe not, but I definitely recall segments on him. My dad loved to watch his antics, but was quick to point out it was roughly on the same par as the Harlem Globe Trotters. Dad's position was...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Good morning folks. Back from church, after a long hike. Woke up at 4am of course, with the time turned back, so it's been a long morning already. A fairly calm Halloween. We had maybe ten trick or treaters. Our neighborhood was swamped with kids in the days twenty years ago when my kids were...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Prayers for your family BC Wader. I lost both of my parents in the past two years and it is never easy, however long and well they lived. Halloween is upon us. Hard to believe that tomorrow is November. Should be some good college football today. I haven't checked out tthe slate of games yet...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Good morning folks. Happy Friday, and happy Halloween Eve. Our long streak of perfect weather continues. A little chilly but I'd take 50s and 60s with clear skies and low humidity in October 365 days a year. Love it. Hoping to take a drive up into the hills northwest of here before the Trick...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Good morning folks. Not a very encouraging outing for the Cats. It gets real now, and I’m not seeing guards who can dominate anyone or a team with the athleticism and physicality to defend or consistently score in the paint. Ah well. last day downtown today. I got one of those subway drivers...

    Young girl gives assessment of the Cats

    Makes me a little sad. You know she sat there listening to her father yell and ***** and complain all night, and she’s parroting that. Part of me wishes she’d just been able to go see the Wildcats and felt happy about a last-second shot and a win. But I guess dad is happy that “at least she...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Good morning folks. Getting closer to Halloween. My wife and I rewatched The Exorcist recently. Still a movie that can rattle you. The opening scene in Northern Iraq still sets a very unsettling tone. Living in the DC area, I recognize all the places around Georgetown used in the movie...
