Probably the last entry of the year

http://www.courier-journal.com/cjsports/news2004/12/30/C1-brew1230-5716.htmlI could read this column with no byline and be certain it was Sally Jenkins that wrote it.

Simmons' mail bag is pretty funny.

Sean McAdam praises Jason Varitek.

I can't decide who is the bigger loser in this story.

This cracked me up. How much fun did the desk guys have coming up with the headline: Wiener wagon hotbed of sin. The last quote was pretty good too.

I'll link to almost anybody's column on who should and who shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame. If the Athol Daily News columnist runs who he'd vote for, I'd probably link to it. So here's Posnanski's.

Jerry Brewer is off Bobby Petrino's Christmas card list.


Do mess with Fossilman.

Shaughnessy is pretty good.


When Mitch Albom is on, he's good. I actually wished this column was a little longer.

Bill Lyon's year-end column ends with a topic, I've included a lot here.

The man on the bike.
Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France for the sixth consecutive time. It is without precedent. On his cap, he wrote: "Livestrong."
Perfect.
That motto was etched into yellow rubber bracelets, and before long, people were buying them, the proceeds going for cancer research, and hanging charms on them in memory of loved ones, or writing the names of those who had succumbed to that cruel and insidious killer, and now those rubber yellow bracelets have blossomed like a pasture of dandelions after a spring shower.
One word. Defiant. Inspired. Inspiring.
Livestrong.
A word, a cause, a crusade, a credo


Happy New Year...
