The major difference between the pros and collegians is the sheer speed of the athletes. Even the huge guys have speed to complement their bulk and toughness.
I met up with Terence Connery, who is a television director and always has interesting production-related things to comment on during a telecast. A former Floridian, he covered the Dolphins and Marlins in Miami in the early 90s.
Poor guy is actually a big Dolphins fan. It's been awhile for him...
Charles Lucas was also there, knocking back a few beers with Terence and I. Lucas is a solid barroom football analyst, given to grand pronouncements such as: "The coaching then was awful." And, "the refs are blowing too many calls." And, "it would have been more feasible to throw a pass then rather than run the ball for a three yard loss."
Quite astute, although not at the level of Chris Collinsworth.
Madonna... Why?
In more serious news, this press-related item regarding Eight Oregon Plays appeared in the most recent Portland State faculty newsletter.
In addition to this, Deemer is busy preparing his new novel for publication. Announcements regarding that will appear here soon.
Finally, in one other publishing note, K.C. Bacon will take a final look at the proof copy of his newest, Aphorisms, this week.
I expect the official announcement of its publication will come sooner rather than later.
