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.

    sir, does this mean that we have 2 fivb-recognized orgs in the philippines? or does recognizing one immediately removes accreditation from the other?

    To be honest, i prefer that the pvf stays, simply because they formed the better team. Both of them will be run like "old boys clubs" anyway, might as well get go with the group who didnt do a rush job when forming their pool

      There is only one that is recognized -- LVP. The other one has no paper work to show. And no, what have they done for volleyball? You can't pre-judge another (LVP) as they haven't done anything yet.

    PVF has paperwork, it has been the officially recognized organization until someone from the LVP group decided to rock the boat and obtain this document.

    I do wish journalists would get the side of the other group and not just take the statements of the LVP group at face value.

      You know, we can same the same thing about the other as using their statements as evidence. I even asked for it but got nothing. I know that they were were sent some paperwork. I lay the blame here at the AVC/FIVB. They could end all of this in one stroke. With one email; with one memo. Instead, they left everyone to fight one another. But seriously, what has the other group done?

    Sir, I hope I'm wrong, but the fact that this new organization will be run by people from the POC is a harbinger of things to come. These are the same people who made questionable decisions such as forming new men's and women's teams anyway, even if there is already an existing pool that is already training under arguably one of the best coaches in the country.
