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.

Ranking Footloacker's 2014 Week of Greatness ads & why I love them!

Loving the 2014 Footlocker ads! I ranked them in terms of my favorites and here are the results:

1. Derrick Rose and Tim Duncan in "Excited". Watch The Big Fundamental knocked down a plant in excitement. Who said you cannot have fun while being boring? Five NBA titles and he's entitled to that.

2. John Cena tells a fan in a veiled reference to pro wrestling to "suspend his disbelief" and that "IT's REAL!"

3. James Harden pokes fun at his lack of defense in this hilarious advert titled "Defensive".

4. I love this coz Manny Pacquiao believes that the fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr.  -- well, "IT's HAPPENING!" What makes this even more cool is the Black Mamba trainign t-shirt he is wearing. That should give Kobe Bryant an extra boost now that the Los Angeles Lakers have won two straight.
