As I think I may have mentioned in the past, I'm on a thing at work where I HAVE TO take vacation days each month due to a vacation cap. If I don't use them, I stop accumulating vacation time and I don't trust stupid HR people to remember to

Saturday Night Open Thread: My Top Five…. Obscure Archer Objects

ballsofsteelandfury - April 15, 2023April 14, 2023

I still watch Archer and I still enjoy the new episodes. Some (okay, many!) have said that the series has jumped the shark. Opinions differ on when exactly that happened. Some argue that it happened when they left New York. Some argue that it happened when Archer went into a

Part 4: The Training Camps The Broncos sure did a whole lot of nothing in the Draft. Oh sure, they had nine picks, but even the second-rounder they got from the Rams was at the end of that round so it felt like a third-rounder. The sunshine take was that that

As you may or may not have noticed, there was no Balls Magazine last week. The reason for that is that I haven't had the time to get out onto the course or the driving range. That all changes today as my local golf club just had its third tourney of

Part 3: The Trade March 9 - Engelwood, Colorado “Well, I think I just landed my Manning!” George Paton seemed extremely proud of himself. He'd scanned the draft projections, and they had shown there wasn’t a projected right-now starter among the bunch, so he knew he had to do something. It didn’t help that

Part 2: The Rumors February 2022 - Renton, Washington The phone never stops ringing these days at the Seahawks HQ in Renton. The thing about an open secret is that, like an open marriage, there’s always someone about checking out your partner. Russell Wilson had an amazing run as Seahawks quarterback. From winning

As you may or may not know, the West Coast has been hit with a lot of rain this winter. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for it and I want more to tell you the truth. We desperately need it. The only thing is that it interferes with playing golf.

I apologize for missing last week's Saturday Night post. It completely slipped my mind that I had volunteered to do the Saturday evening posts. I was even going to go into the back room and ask who was supposed to post. Turned out it was me. Tonight's post category comes from my

Part 1: The End (of the season) January 9, 2022 - Glendale, Arizona It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the

Remember how I won my very first golf tournament and broke 100 on the same day? Well, I just finished my second tournament and let's just say there was no repeat. Not only that, I scored the worst I have scored in a VERY long time: 122! Let's start at the beginning. It

I was left for dead on the side of the road. I decided I would not even try to get up, just going to lay here. Go ahead laugh at me, they are. People stepped right over me on their way to self importance, One lady asked if I was dead
