Hoopaholic’s Gazette: B-Ball Flicks Addendum
In the aftermath of my previous post, where I weigh in on basketball movies, I received the same recommendation by two hoopaholics whose taste I am inclined to pay attention to.

Hoopaholic’s Gazette: B-Ball Flicks
Are there any great basketball-centric movies? How I came to this diversionay consideration shall be discussed in short order. The sport does not lend itself to the great romanticism of the national pastime. Baseball has “Field of Dreams,” “The Natural,” and “Bull Durham.” “Pride of the Yankees” perhaps. All beloved. Worthy in one way or […]

Seedy K’s Feckless Football/ Futbol Folderol
It is a tradition like many others. Script Ohio. 12th Man. Rocky Top. “Another . . . Cards . . . First Down!” My silly, borderline annoying propensity for alliteration. And this. Early July. Eschewing the local, family owned bookstore just a few blocks walk away, I drive to the big box emporium in the […]
