Back from among the missing, all for the wonderful Super Bowl week
Tweet
I figure I should write something before I start showing up on the side of milk cartons. No, I haven't been missing, just buried under all sorts of personal matters that make me wish I could move to Cabot Cove, Maine (even if it is fictional) and be Jessica Fletcher's neighbor. (Remember, the regulars never got killed on 'Murder She Wrote,' just the guest stars.)
So, it is Super Bowl week.
Oh joy.
Did you hear that Rob Gronkowski, like the rest of us, is day-to-day? Did you hear the...

Catching up with Washington Post articles: Maryland's Honor Violation; Navy Steps in the Wrong Direction
Tweet
Here are two of my latest from The Washington Post --------
When the Maryland basketball team won the national championship in 2002, Gary Williams received hundreds, if not thousands, of letters congratulating him on taking the Terrapins to a place few dreamed they could ever go.
Williams read almost all the letters. Some meant more than others, coming from old friends and coaching colleagues. One stood out. It came from a former Maryland coach.
"Congratulations," it...

Washington Post columns: Hockey not the same without Ovechkin vs. Crosby; ACC basketball
Tweet
Just passing along my latest The Washington Post columns from this week.
Maybe it was force of habit, but NBC Sports Network (which was Versus until two weeks ago) decided Wednesday that America's hockey fans couldn't live without seeing the eighth-place team in the NHL's Eastern Conference take on the 10th-place team.
That was the matchup at Verizon Center: The eighth-place Pittsburgh Penguins vs. the 10th-place Washington Capitals. This is the rivalry formerly...

Two stunning announcements: John Thompson is retiring from radio, George Vecsey no longer a full time columnist
Tweet
I woke up this morning to find two stunning announcements in my morning newspapers.
One was a relatively small item inside The Washington Post saying that John Thompson would be retiring from hosting his radio show on WTEM when his contract is up in February. The other was a column in The New York Times written by George Vecsey that was his farewell as a fulltime columnist.
It isn't as if either man is young—Thompson is 70 and Vecsey must be closing in on that age if not there...
