Writing and Sharing, Good and Bad, and Semyon Varlamov

Holly Wendt wrote about Semyon Varlamov in the most recent issue of The Classical Magazine. Shortly after the issue came out, Varlamov was charged with some very ugly crimes. Stories seldom stay still long enough for us to know how to feel about them, let alone tell them right. Reprinted from Holly's blog.

Happy Amar'e-ween!

Amar'e Stoudemire won't be celebrating Halloween, apparently. This is a bummer, and a silly thing to take such a strident stance over, but... more candy for the rest of us?

The Classical Magazine Issue Six/6/VI is Here

The goal for issue #6 of The Classical was short, fast, loud pieces. We aimed for 500 words, but we didn't actually hold anyone to that rule. 26 poems, memoirs, histories, fantasies, fictions, non-fictions, prayers, confessions roughly related to sports are the result.

Monday Night Alternate Audio: Eli Manning's Face, Josh Freeman's Arm and Footballz

ESPN's Monday Night Football yawp-squad will find a way to bring up Peyton Manning tonight, even though he is not playing in tonight's game. There is another way.

At The Bart Oates Museum In A Dead South Jersey Mall

Bart Oates had a very good 11-year NFL career. The foremost folk-museum/shrine to that career is in a nail salon in a mostly dead South Jersey mall. Naturally.

The Horror of Terry Richardson Baseball Cards

There are many good reasons why a baseball card company wouldn't hire sex creep/photographer Terry Richardson to shoot photos for a set of cards. Here are an uncomfortable number of those reasons.

Prince Fielder, The Running Man

It is not one of the more graceful visuals on offer in the game of baseball, but there is something stunning and beautiful -- something almost divine -- in watching Prince Fielder run and slide.
