The Gift That Keeps On Giving – Matt
Last Christmas I mailed a good friend of mine, an editor at the Aegis and Record newspapers, a gift. He mailed it back, unopened, with a curt note attached. Maybe this was to be expected.

I think we were all becoming disenchanted with how things were done because we began talking about how things could […]

Pigskin Prognosticating: Take A Stab At Picking NFL Winners Week By Week
“Hit, Hustle, Believe.” A phrase I read on a tattered tee on one of the coaches for the Joppatowne-Edgewood Recreation Football team. Hit. Hustle. Believe. If only it were that simple. Through the eyes of Ravens’ fans we have only one of those resources available to us: Believe. Sure we can hit Steelers fans with […]
