USE SPORTS EARLY TO CURB ABUSE LATER

September 18, 2014 by

But Which Sport? Early sportswriters didn’t write about sports as we know them. Those were desperate times of high mortality. Humans didn’t seem as far up the food chain then. If we believe wiki, sprinting and wrestling made it onto the first sports page/cave painting 17,000 years ago. Say, “for your life,” after each sport […]

SUMMERTIME AND THE TEACHERS RECHARGE

July 25, 2014 by

On the surface a teaching gig looks like a cakewalk. From the classroom, to the teachers’ lounge, the time off, it makes people jealous, as if they could do the job. Here’s a message to the good people who went to school in classrooms with teachers, but aren’t teachers themselves. (Before continuing, this blogger is […]

OREGON’S GREATEST ATHLETE (ever)

July 7, 2014 by

Do you open the Oregonian’s sports page and find soccer? If it’s not the World Cup, it’s the Timber or Thorns’ players flinging around. Isn’t it still baseball season? We expect to see diving catches in the out field, runners breaking up double plays, the stretch on first, not wild soccer players kneeing the vertebrae […]

@ JAY MOHR SPORTS, A WRESTLER’S TAKE ON THE WORLD CUP

June 20, 2014 by

The Fox Sports Talk Radio Host Says He’s A Wrestler? Yes, the sports world stands still for World Cup soccer. Most of the world. America joins in as long as the U.S. team keeps winning. Everybody loves a winner, even radio host Jay Mohr on Portland, Oregon’s 620 AM. On a recent show he asked […]

HOW NATIONAL CHAMPIONS HAPPEN

June 16, 2014 by

Always start with kids. None of that ‘I just picked up a ball last year’ stuff. No one wants to see the Hakeem Olajuwon story repeated, the one where he plays soccer one day, picks up a basketball the next, then goes into the National Basketball Hall of Fame. That’s career shorthand for ‘don’t make […]

WIFE BEATING NOT JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS

May 30, 2014 by

Violence Toward Women Has No Explanation That Matters. If you’ve broken up a kid fight, you’ve heard one of them say, “He started it.” With that information you have choices. Punish one of them, both of them, or neither of them. Was the one who said ‘he started it’ reacting, or were they the instigator? […]

BOOMERPDX AND THE WEEPING GUITAR

May 15, 2014 by

Music Lesson To Life Lesson And Back To Music. Personal history is tricky. Everyone has one and they’re all better than yours. At least that’s the idea of avoiding writing personal history stories. How many times have you told of an experience and someone listening says, “The same thing happened to me, except…” and their […]

ONCE YOU JOIN BOOMERPDX, EVERYTHING ELSE IS CAKE

April 26, 2014 by

OR PIE? Information whips between people further and faster than anyone expected. Technology makes the link. One means of communication that never changes speed or location? First hand experience. You make that connection. It’s happening now. Trying a new way, or doing something different, creates a new experience for the scrap book. That’s what marketing […]

BODY CLEANSING JUICE FAST, WHAT TO EXPECT

March 19, 2014 by

Keep this in mind: You won’t starve. It might sound like cutting weight for wrestling season, but a monitored juice fast at the Portland Wellness Center is different. Think of it as a time to relax. Less time shopping for food and cooking. Fewer dishes to wash. That stuff takes time. How much time is a surprise […]

HOME TEAM TO THE RESCUE

March 6, 2014 by

(written for oregonsportsnews.com) Sports and real life need more separation, like church and state. You have a team at work? How’s their conditioning? Are you wrestling with a problem? Did the problem try to pin you? And enough of the ‘end run’ talk. You can’t do an end run from your chair. As much as we celebrate […]
