The HOF game was pretty interesting this year. There was the sheer irony of Peyton Manning missing a game in NE Ohio (think week 17, last season), the Colts onside kick to start the game and the new year of professional outdoor football, and the colts frantic attempt to come back at the end. Friday was pretty cool, too. I visited the Hall of Fame (If you haven't been there recently, it's worth another visit. There's been a lot of changes in the past year.) and attended the Browns scrimmage, which was awesome until it degenerated into karaoke night between the scrimmage and the fireworks show. I have this strange feeling that Paul Brown would never have stood for the Browns field being used in such a way.
By the way, the hall had an excellent exhibit on pro football and patriotism (players/owners in military, NFL in wartime) that will be on tour soon. No specifics on when and where yet, but I'll keep y'all up to date.
Speaking of historical displays, I should be able to divulge details soon of where you can see a historical exhibit for which I was, in veeeeeeery small part, responsible (this was my secondary project, my primary project is a little farther from yielding any public displays).
Earth to Ryan Garko, Earth to Garko, do you copy?
I have narrowly averted two sports debacles in the past month. I was seriously considering attending Crew v. West Ham (West Ham fans started a melee in the section where I was going to sit) and the Brickyard 400 (the saddest excuse for a stock car race EVER due to worthless tires) but changed plans at the last second.
NBA schedule is out. Cavaliers open 10/28 @ Boston, the Bobcats are in Cleveland two nights later for the Cavs' return to the Q. Celtics are here 1/9 and 4/12, Lakers are here 2/8, and since I know that at least one Jazz fan reads this blog, Utah's at the Q on 11/15.
talk to y'all later!
