I don’t understand
We ate lunch Friday at a place north of Columbus called Average Joe’s Taphouse. Unfortunately, the food was, well, average. More disappointing was the fact the place didn’t offer dodge ball. I was looking forward to reliving my elementary school P.E. glory days.
the hand-wringing over the length of baseball games. It seems like everyone is hell-bent on speeding up MLB contests, which generally last as long as NFL games. There’s just a lot more baseball games. Also, they are much shorter than college football marathons, which sometimes require a nap at halftime to make it to the finish line.
You can tinker with the rules and shave off 30 seconds here and there. It won’t matter. Batters love
KNUCKLEHEAD OF THE WEEK
Former Buckeyes star and current Buffalo Bill Adolphus Washington was charged with improper handling of a firearm. Washington was spotted by police last week at Splash City north of Cincinnati with a gun in his lap. Police were dispersing a large crowd when they spotted the firearm, which Washington is licensed to carry. Of course, the cops didn’t know that and drew down on the big defensive lineman.

Speaking of long
homer gave the American League its fifth straight win, and more importantly quelled any possibility of a 1-1 final score.
Anyone else uneasy
about the news UD basketball player Kostas Antetokounmpo suffered something called a non-displaced tibia fracture while training with a Greek national team? I guess he has a few months to recover. He missed last season because he was a “non-qualifier” in the eyes of the NCAA. UD has invested a lot in this kid, so hopefully he’s done with the setbacks.
Good to see Darran Powell
