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.

Two Sports Illustrated covers featuring LeBron James & Penny Hardaway


Here are two covers of Sports Illustrated magazine present and past. I got the mag (the image above) the other week as I followed with great interest the NBA Finals matchup between the Miami Heat and the Oklahoma Thunder. When I saw the issue on the stands, I remembered an issue I bought ages ago (and I still have it). One with then-Orlando Magic super guard Penny Hardaway who used to sky with the greatest of ease before injuries hobbled him. The similarities are uncanny not to mention both players -- LeBron and Penny -- are in Florida-based teams. But what photos! Stupendous shots that I wish I took myself.
