Follow the Jeter
Sunday, September 16th, 2007Sports Roundup The Yankees win. The Yankees win. The YAAAAAAAAAANKEES win (and take 2 of 3 at Fenway)! Jeter’s heroics bloodied Shilling’s metaphorical sock. Joba ruled. And look who’s Papi’s papi now. Tiger tames the field (again) to the tune of ten million. Cheat Belichik gets off easy, despite a $500K personal fine, a $250K [...]

CoCo was formally introduced as Pastor Louis at Abounding Grace last Sunday, an appropriate promotion for a faithful and anointed leader. As a former boss and forever friend, I have seen Pastor Louis at [...]
