Members of Penn State’s Trustees Recall Painful Decision to Fire Paterno – The Times
I don’t think this article about the collective discernment that the Board of Trustees will change anybody’s opinion of that body and I am not suggesting that either. What is the important about this report are the details of Graham Spanier’s overwhelming [...]
In mid-December, I was in Pennsylvania for the first portion of in-laws Christmas. I was pleased to see that there was snow at Ski Roundtop and Liberty Mountain. Since then though, it hasn’t been good early winter for Northeast ski resorts. NPR reported that it was a “brown Christmas” for the Adirondacks. New England and [...]
That headline above is the first line of the last verse of the Pennsylvania State University Alma Mater, sung before football games among other places. Due to the apparent actions of one and the inaction of many, my university, not just the football program, has been shamed to an extent that is unfathomable.
I have spent [...]
Remember when I included the new Miami Marlins cap logo for 2012 in my penultimate Nats game post last week? That was VERY popular with the search engines. It turns out, things will be ever worse at the Marlins new Miami ballpark. Go to The New Miami Marlins Logo Is No Longer The Worst Thing [...]
It is halftime up in Beaver Stadium with #20 Penn State Nittany Lions down 17-3 to #2 Alabama Crimson Tide. I’m sure I’ll have more to say about that after the game, but in the meantime, I noticed a glaring omission in the AFLAC Trivia Question. It was something along the lines of “how many [...]
How much rain has there been this week?
If my memory serves, that is US 29/50 Fairfax Boulevard (nee Lee Highway) just east of University Drive.

Now, I don’t think that quite reaches the level of a Darwin Award; I certainly would not do it, but I’m amused someone else did.
Vacation is over for me and I am getting caught up with the Washington Nationals. It seems they pretty much won every other game after that dreadful series with the Florida Marlins. I caught the finale of that series by bicycling to Nationals Park from Alexandria. It was camp day, I saw my cousin and [...]
Washington Nationals baseball returns tonight, but possibly after your bedtime. First pitch from Los Angeles is 10:05 p.m. EDT. You have special dispensation to listen to the Dodgers feed for the first three innings when Vin Scully is calling the game. I know I will at some point this weekend and then, hopefully, back [...]
Once again, a Washington Nationals player, this year its Michael Morse, is a candidate to be the last National League player voted into the All-Star game by fans. Last year it Ryan Zimmerman. MLB is doing a promotion (which I won’t bother linking to because I disagree with it) to link a fanbase from each [...]
Yesterday, Dan Steinberg of DC Sports Bog posted about DC’s place in ESPN The Magazine’s Ultimate Standings. Here’s the upshot:
Washington Capitals (27th), Washington Nationals (78th), Washington Wizards (110th) and Washington Redskins (121st). Last year, the Caps were 11th, followed by the Nats (94th), Redskins (102nd) and Wizards (120th).
I would have had more to say, but [...]
