So, at long last, we have a cover for “Football for a Buck,” my upcoming USFL book. Selecting a cover is, perhaps, the weirdest part of the whole writing experience. So, as the author you’re given a pretty strong say—but not the final say. You have an idea in your head,
So a few moments ago I was sorting through some old papers when I stumbled upon a random folder. I opened it, peered inside and found … bliss. In 1990-91, during my freshman year of college, I was a member of the University of Delaware’s cross country and indoor track
Unless you reside in a hole, you’re surely aware that Stormy Daniels will be appearing on 60 Minutes tonight. What will she say? I have no idea. Will it impact Donald Trump? I have no idea. Will it be groundbreaking? I have no idea. Here, though, is one thing I

Clayton Custer is an instant legend. In case you missed it, with the clock running down against Tennessee, and his team trailing by one, Loyola Chicago’s unheralded guard dribbled to the right of the paint, pulled up from adjacent to the foul line and hit a jumper over a Vols defender
Most Saturday mornings I play pickup hoops at an outdoor court about two miles from my home. It’s an absolute joy—a mishmash of people, ages ranging from, oh, 18 to 60. The skill level varies from hack to above-average small college player. Few fouls are called. There’s almost no trash
The thing I love most about March Madness is the eternalness of names. With one win … with one breathtaking performance, anonymity turns into permanence. It’s why I know of Mouse McFadden and Brett Blizzard. It’s why I know Harold Arceneaux and Keith Smart. It’s why I know of Taylor Coppenrath and T.J.
So I was at the gym about an hour ago when a friend on Twitter DMed me this … Yes, that’s John Rocker. And he’s wearing a LIBERALS SUCK shirt. Now, long ago this sort of thing might have bothered me. Or, perhaps, resulted in some sort of holier-than-thou blog
