Getting lost a book, getting lost in a blog. Maravich and The Selvedge Yard.
Great book & great blog.
“After spending four seasons in Atlanta, he was traded to the New Orleans Jazz for 8 players, where he peaked as an NBA showman and superstar.”
8 PLAYERS?!?!?! That’s got to be some sort of record.
Was Don Nelson coaching the Hawks at the time? I could see Nellie trading 1 for 8 … (all 8 would be swingmen who don’t play defense).
There’s a good story on the “Vow” boys (Stanford’s 1969 team promised never to lose to USC again - and didn’t) if you click through …

this seems like the dorky thing we
would havediscussed in those Branner triples at Stanford.
New York is such a terrible place. If cities were comedians, New York would be Dane Cook: popular, but lousy. Philly would clearly be Rob Schneider: completely unappealing to most, but undeniably awesome by most every objective measure.
A list of objective measures of a city’s awesomeness

- Dog torturers per square mile.
- Bad track suits per square mile.

Eagles 40, Giants 17
The Eagles-Giants clash took place across the street from where the Phillies and Yankees would face off a few hours later. That meant twelve straight hours of drinking for Philadelphia fans. This game was never in doubt, as the Eagles jumped out to such a big lead, the only way they could have blown it was to bring in Brad Lidge to run the Wildcat in the 4th quarter. I don’t know how that would work - somehow Johnny Damon catches a shotgun snap and runs it back for a TD because Lidge isn’t paying attention and wanders away from the line of scrimmage, and Ryan Howard whiffs on a tackle.
Meanwhile, the pseudo-Seans again had a field day for Philadelphia. DeSean Jackson caught a long TD pass, and LeSean McCoy had a 66-yard touchdown run. The lesson? The Phillies could have used third baseman Chone Figgins to chase down Johnny Damon later that night.

he even spelled “Berkley” wrong in response to “Stanfurd.” good job CJ.
meanwhile, i think i’m actually rooting for monty this year. stanford basketball is bad enough this year to be completely irrelevant (but with a very bright future ahead), and as such, i’d like nothing more than to see mike do well. not too well, but well…
Philly fans, scale of 1-10, how panicked are you?
