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.

As far as issues go the latest Sports Illustrated is one of the best


I thought I'd find this in Kinokuniya in Singapore but it was either sold out or unavailable (methinks it's the former). By chance, I was able to get a copy at Changi Airport on my way home and it was the last copy. Lee Jenkins' story on LeBron James and the Heat was a very good one. And reading Jack McCallum's feature on the mythical Dream Team intra-squad scrimmage was worth the cover price alone.
