Maybe Brandon Gomes just needs to pitch against the very best.
After four sickening months of watching billionaires battle millionaires about how to divvy up $9 billion, it seemed as though a new collective bargaining agreeement in the NFL was on the horizon.
After NFL owners voted 31-0-1 on Thursday (the Oakland Raiders abstained, which probably means that Al Davis didn't realize a lockout was even taking place) on what would be a new 10-year labor agreement, the players have so far balked at signing the final proposal, meaning the lockout still lingers.
With the Hall of Fame game, which was set to take place Aug. 7, having already been canceled and Week 1 of the preseason also in jeopardy, it's time the sides came together to keep at least the regular season intact.
As an optimist, I believe there will be football. Here's proof of my optimism.
Heavy cover is just one example of the specialized jobs you can perform using a baitcaster.
Although I had my plug bag with me, there was one box of streamers in a side pouch. I had a baitcaster and spinning rig in the canoe, but no fly rod. I was bouncing a spinnerbait off rocks and logs trying to get hooked, but all I got were short strikes. I looked through my tackle bag but didn’t have any hooks that I could use as a trailer. I took a short piece of line and tied on a streamer in a matching color. The size 2 Brooks Blonde looked too small and out of place but I needed something to make the spinnerbaits effective with the short striking bass.
Would you be interested in a striped bass charter at Cuttyhunk with one of the best fishermen on the East Coast? I thought so.
There’s nothing phony about Jason Cummings.
Cummings, who along with fellow 1992 Durfee High School graduate Cris Borges, put together the Fall River Football Challenge that took place last Tuesday at Durfee High School, is passionate about football and isn’t shy about showing it.
Two months and two days after Scott Hall’s memorable-for-all-the-wrong-reasons appearance in Fall River, a man who truly understands the nightmare Hall is living will headline the Top Rope Promotions pro wrestling card at the PAL. Brian James – aka the Road Dogg, the Roadie, Jesse James, and one half of the New Age Outlaws – is scheduled to join NAO tag partner Billy Gunn for the TRP show this Friday at 7 p.m.
The precise date (heck, even the precise year) escapes me, but one night back in the early 1990s, Macho Madness infected the Spindle City.
Durfee High's Tresley Dupont broke one of those long-standing records last Sunday at the Weston Twilight Meet when he threw the shot put 55 feet, 9 inches.
It was not an illusion because I could hear him. “Help!” he was calling out to me. The water at that section of the ramp was at least 6 feet deep, but this guy was standing upright and he was only in water up to his ankles. The call came in from a bystander who was soaking up a few rays at the boat ramp when he heard the screaming.
