Battering Thoroughbred racing too!

And so it ends now, this evening, less than a year after a near-miss in the Big Stupor Game, and less than two months after winning 10 of their first 11 games of the 2023 regular season, your Philalala Iggles have completed a gridiron collapse to shame all other gridiron collapses, losing six of their final seven games, the last of which was tonight’s shockingly meek capitulation to your Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card Playoff round. For a team that looked well on its way to a return trip to the Big Stupor Game, for a team that seemed unbeatable both on the field & off, with dynamic, confident leadership and a sense of chemistry & camaraderie that appeared to mark them as one of those fabled Teams of Destiny, these Iggles walked off the field tonight thoroughly beaten, bickering openly on the sidelines and likely sniping at each other to the very end inside the locker room, that earlier promise and destiny abjectly come to nothing. A bright year-and-two-month stretch of elite football went dark fast, all in the last eight weeks, and it is hard to imagine this team, with its infighting & suddenly questionable talent-level, getting back to true Big Stupor Game-calibre anytime soon.

Well-deserved!

Jayson Stark now in the Baseball Hall of Fame! Even 40 years ago, when he was doing his early-week MLB recap columns in the Philalala Ink-wire (Ink-wire!), you could tell, no matter how young & innocent & inexperienced you were, that he was one-of-a-kind, a top talent, with his enthusiasm & enjoyment of his covering the sport, its athletes & their statistics coming in loud-and-clear in each crazy topic he chose, every wild sentence he devoted to those topics. Yes, it was in a print medium, via old-school, broadsheet, major-daily journalism; but you could still feel the energy & zaniness! Salute! Continue reading →

It appears impressionistic…
