"Think I'd better let it go/Looks like another love T.K.O.!"
One-half of this nutty weekend involved a nice trip down the Garden State Parkway into Atlantic City for Kelly Pavlik's first defense of his middleweight crown for Sports NY Style (look for article tomorrow) against British contender Gary Lockett. In all honestly, the slideshow lasted longer than the fight (TKO in the third as Lockett's corner threw in the towel), but to have been ringside for a major title bout was pretty cool nonetheless.
The Yankees, of course, took up the other half of this weekend. No pics on Joba Chamberlain's second start. Sorry. Back to work.
Say What?!?!: Ah, what the heck. Just enjoy it.
Perception is reality, the saying goes. Modern players can never transcend time, athletes only care about the money and the fan is never wrong. Yet, all you need to do is dig a little deeper to find the truth. As a freelance sportswriter, my job is to give the audience a story around what just happened. As a consumer, I expect that sports will always provide more than I bargained for. As a fan, my hopes are to be enlightened by more than points. Welcome to the mind of a sports scribe.

:-O
There are actually words - and great words that aren't appropriate for a G-rated blog such as this - to describe the tiny smidgen of joy at the moment.
Over the weekend, the alumni magazine arrived, but with being that this guy was barely home except for food, there was no time to look at it. Just a few minutes ago as I was doing some cleaning, I had parused through very casually. Then, with one page turn, this comes up as the first news bite for the undergraduate Class of 2004:
Considering that Babson College is more known for finance, entrepreneurship and big money ballers (or baller hopefuls), this is a pretty big deal for me. So for all of my fellow alums who discovered that very bio, welcome and feel free to stay a while.
What else is a big deal? Tomorrow, expect a rundown on this weekend's Gary Lockett-Kelly Pavlik fight down in Atlantic City. I'll be covering The Ghost's first middleweight title defense for Sports NY Style (my return to the website that provided the spark for Scribe in the first place). Add that to another likely Yankee game on Sunday and there is much to do.
