I like baseball.  That's not exactly a secret, I suppose. But what you folks might not realize is that I like baseball just for the sake of baseball itself.  What I mean by that is that I enjoy watching baseball even when I don't have a particular rooting interest.  Weird, but

NFL News: Here's a good thing: police recovered most of Roquan Smith's stolen property & arrested an individual. The only object missing from the above trove: his Bears iPad. On an unrelated note, not all NE Patriots trainers have been accounted for. Here's an "ugh, really?" thing: Mark Ingram is

Author's Note:  I watched a lot of TV when I was a kid.  One of my favorites was old reruns of Dragnet.  For me, Jack Webb's vocal mannerisms as the Joe Friday character are classic, and sometimes even now, that just comes out.  That's what happened here when I sat
