Many moons ago, I lived overseas underneath a military dictatorship.  Rights were repressed and freedom of speech was halted.  The media was controlled and many of the nation’s people lived in fear, remembering all too keenly the coup that had Continue reading Unadulterated Signs of Impending Authoritarianism, or A Day at the Movies →

More On Last Night’s Game

That was far more pleasant than the first couple of games of this series. The story of the first two games was that, though the Jays didn’t strikeout much, they weren’t hitting the ball hard. Yesterday there were a lot of hard hit balls by the Jays: 14 balls hit at over 100 mph. It […]

Comments from the Other Side - Raptors 10/15/25

Good win to close out the preseason.  Next time they take the court, it will be for real against the 76ers.  Raptors fans are funny.  They trashed their own team way more than they did the Celtics.  Poor Scottie Barnes.  He really got a lot of hate from the fans.  And,  they sent a lot of love toward the Celtics, especially Pritchard and White.  I do think the Celtics are going to be fun to watch this season.  My favorites are in bold.  What ar...

Bowl quest 2025: Are there two more wins on the schedule?

NC State needs two wins in its last five games to reach bowl eligibility and earn a trip to some third-tier ACC bowl destination, which at this point feels like the best-case scenario for this season.
