BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

The Deconstruction of Chelsea Has Begun






















Can you believe this... the overhaul at Chelsea has begun...

Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba are on the selling block. It seems that new manager Avram Grant would love nothing than a fresh start without the loyalists of the just-sacked Jose Mourinho.

So far Juventus, AC Milan, and Real Madrid have signified their interests in the English captain. No word as of today on who would like to take on Drogba.

Speculation has it that Chelsea would like to trade Lampard for AC Milan's Kaka. That would reunite the Brazilian internationalist with Andriy Shevchenko who has been shelved under Mourinho.

Word is club owner Roman Abramovich would love to see a more attacking style of play by the Blues and he needed a "yes" man manager/coach.

Wow.
