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.

Saturday Short Stuff


The City of Brotherly Love will reach out to Allen Iverson again. It's up to him to make things all right. 


The pressure is on the South Africa team in the World Cup. Who knows how well they could do?

David Stern told Sports Illustrated writer Ian Thomsen that it is possible to have women in the NBA. Sorry Commish. But isn't that why there is a WNBA? Still, it does sound intriguing and highly possible of course.

Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather in March. The NBA Finals and the World Cup in June. What a first half for sports in 2010. 

Manny Pacquiao signed a contract extension with Solar Sports & GMA7 to broadcast his fights until 2013. So I guess that means he'll be fighting 'til then. So if you hear any crap that he's with another network that never seems to tire of fermenting dissent then that is absolute BS. In fact, he's going to have a new sitcom on the Kapuso network with Bayani Agbayani and Mommy Dionisia who now goes by the showbiz name of Mommy D.
