The story goes that The Bryan Brothers played a U S Open doubles final years ago that lasted nearly two and a half hours. It’s reported that their father charted the match…and that the twins only had two net errors in the entire match. Incredible. Welby Van Horn used to call net errors felonies. After […]

Some kids just have it. Swag at an early age is something to see. Cory Ross and his younger brother Casey used to drill with varsity players at age ten. Everyone on the court shared the belief that they would be state champions one day. Sure enough…both won multiple state titles. Jeff Salzenstein arrived at […]

Dogs bring us the paper. They bring tennis balls…frisbees, and the mallard drake that just plopped into the lake. Dogs bring us joy…peace…perspective, and gratitude.

Gary McCord has been doing golf telecasts for over twenty years. Yesterday, at famed Pebble Beach in California, he lost it. Could barely speak. It wasn’t in response to the 65 shot by leader Jordan Spieth…the overalls worn by Bill Murray, or the supersonic drives of Dustin Johnson. No, it just a fan who made […]

We received a call today to see about dog sitting for Ginger in late April. She is house trained, loves other dogs, and needs to be walked just once per day. Ginger has her own bed and a bark that keeps coyotes at bay. The only issue is that she has extreme allergies and can […]

We were the host site for a six state tournament held a number of years ago. Returning from lunch on quarterfinals day, I asked the site coordinator if everything was running smoothly. Expecting the customary reply of ‘yes, we’re right on time,’ I was surprised when he pulled me aside beyond the earshot of spectators […]
