Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

From The Sublime To The Ridiculous


Wow!  Saturday gave us two of the wildest and most important finishes ever in college football.  First, Ohio State topped Michigan 42-41 by intercepting a pass on the Wolverines' last-gasp attempt at a two-point conversion.  Then Auburn beat top-ranked Alabama with a last-second (literally) coast-to-coast return of a missed field goal for the game-winning TD.  Unbelievable!  All the more so because Auburn's victory pushed OSU up to #2 and into position for the National Championship game.


On Sunday, two of the worst teams in the NFL met when the Jacksonville Jaguars visited Cleveland.  When it was all over, the Bumblin' Browns had managed yet again to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.  It's come to the point where losing seems inevitable.

(After the game, it was reported that QB Brandon Weeden will likely miss next week's game with "concussion-like symptoms."  With Weeden, how can they tell?)
