About

I am the living, breathing definition a curmudgeon.

I've been a Niner fan for more than 50 years. I don't know anything else. I guess I'll have to be a closet Seahawks fan because my favorite current player, Phillip Adams, former cornerback of the 49ers was picked up by the Seahawks after being released by the Patriots. Maybe the Seahawks will do us both a favor and cut him loose so he can sign with the Panthers.

I'm a Tiger not a Cock. Where I come from we know how to do chicken right.

My Dad went to Ohio State. I think I had Buckeye diapers. Again. I don't know anything else but being a Buckeye.

I only write articles when something compels me to. If I'm ticked off about something or have a strong conviction about something, I'll have a tendency to jot it down somewhere on the web.

Some people like my stuff, and some don't. That's just how it works. I hope you find something you enjoy, as that is why it was written.

The last time the BR required me to pass the test to write here I elected not to do so. I very recently created my own website and have just started posting my work on my blog at

    Noticed you were interested in going to the 49ers-saints game. I am a season ticket holder - if you are still interested I can sell you my tickets. LE39 row 17 2 seats. LE39 row 7 2 seats. Thanks

    I'm not going to get into all the ins-and-outs of why I think this, but I (STRONGLY) believe that our Niners are going to beat the Saints.

    Yes, I'm a Niner fan; but I also cap a lot of sporting contests every year (hockey, baseball, football). Anyway, I just wanted to drop you that note. Take it for whatever it may be worth. Cheers.
