Speaking of the Front Page: Death of The Spotlight

I took The Spotlight off the front page of the site today. It was not updated, and it was not going to be updated in the near (or far, for that matter) future. It’s embarrassing as hell to have something like that go without an update for eight months. It had to go. I knew when I was adding that in that I would never update it. Proved myself right again…

This is an aside.

This is an aside. When I have very tiny things to rant about, this is the mechanism I will use. Thus, expect many more of these. :) You can comment on them and interact with them like any old blog post, too. What they won’t do is use up so much space and appear on the front page of the site.

There’s only one October, and it’s over

Life as a New England sports fan must be pretty damn good right now. They have a world champion in baseball and a football team that could almost be charged with murdering other teams, they’re that good.

Congrats, Boston, on your seventh title. And congrats to Mike Lowell on his MVP award — he’s truly deserving. He killed teams in the postseason — not just the World Series — with his timely hitting.

On to football season, full-time…and finally, regular sleep. These postseason games were on way too late at night. The World Series — hell, a vast majority of the postseason — was completely inaccessible to children under 16. I know it’s ratings pressure, but they have to fix this. It just seems wrong that a kid can’t watch his or her heroes win the World Series. I dunno, it just seems wrong to keep our national pastime (still is, right?) out of the reach of those who will carry it forward to the next generation.
