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.

FREE NATE ROBINSON NOW!!!



Yeah, you can't argue with moderate success and you have to give that to Mike D'Antoni who has the New York Knicks winning in spite of his ruthless tactics with his own players. But if you won't play them, trade them. On the flipside this is why some players hold teams hostage with their attitudes. But Nate Robinson has to play. Free him!

Hours after I posted this, the Knicks did (not because of this though but one can hope). In a game against the Atlanta Hawks at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, GA., Robinson came off the bench towards the end of the first quarter and scored a game high 41 points, pulled down 6 rebounds and passed off for 8 assists with 1 steal. He helped the Knicks a 112-108 win in OT. And Robinson felt like a rookie all over again.
