QR Code's rise from oblivion
How a pandemic helped dust off a decade old tool laying in wait for the chance to be loved
Deep in COVID with evaporating funds, I went back to work in the newsroom, hoping to tell some stories triggered by my observations. If I was going to leave my 91-yr-old disabled parents to go to work every weeknight, I wanted to be able to cover news that I found interesting and of value to those I…

2024 Omaha Film Festival fills up the big screen
Annual festival at Aksarben, OFF Academy setting industry stage in Heartland
Finding ways to escape has always meant movies and entertainment for our family, so much so that several generations are working professionals in the industry. So it’s normal I would on my respite days from caregiving and healing seek out the artists, and their apprentices, who have converged on Omaha for the 19th Omaha…

Dream matchup of managers: Bochy vs. Dusty
It’s been a while since I dialed in here on Scorecard Scribblings, and I vow to return in force like Paul Crew in the Longest Yard remake. What brings me out of my posting slumber?
The ALCS matchup of my clear all-time favorites as baseball managers, Dusty Johnnie B. Baker and Bruce Douglas Bochy.
I so wish I had credentials and the ability to cover those games.
The two best managers I ever…

Joy of scanning the paper on a Sunday morning
Yep, I’m here defending the value – not just the past – of self curated news consumption
I think it would truly benefit our industry (journalism), as well as what should be in my opinion a hallmark of our society (being an informed one) if more newspapers chose The New York Times online model. Its layout captures the ergonomic integrity of the scanning read (allowing the reader to make choices…

NHL goalie a lock for the hall of game
He was there when his hometown NHL team needed a goalie in practice, or to be the emergency netminder, known in the game as the EBUG. That job has been “held” in its years of existence by the likes of the team trainer and an accountant, but usually is a goalie for a local college or amateur team, some times a retired goalie from the pro ranks and others a goalie in the system.
Only five times…

What does the nick of time really mean
What does the nick of time really mean
Not in the literal sense.
I fancy myself a wordsmith, one who understands layers of poetry in its layers of truth and expression, so I choose my words specifically, if not always wisely. But as I sit in semi-darkness, listening to music to drown out the clouds for a moment, a song.
Isn’t that what great music (one of those layers of poetic expression previously mentioned) peels back? A song for…

When a catcher could stop a shark
When a catcher could stop a shark
The tools of ignorance are actually pretty smart. The bigger mitt. Mask. Chest protector. Shin guards. Never play without a jewel protector, aka a cup. Add the throat guard and the goalie mask, though I prefer the old school helmet. I always felt as though this standard gear means you have things pretty well covered, at least the stuff that’s important.
But as it turns out, not all in the…

Aaron defined greatness to this lifelong Braves fan
Great. One of the most overused words in all of sports. Long ago I developed the opinion, my personal sensibility, that to say a player, for example, is “great” is to say they had more than an exemplary season, made more than an outstanding play, had the most amazing skills or stuff. Greatness is achieved over time. To be a great player, you had to do it over and over at a level that is…

Tuning in to summer PBP fun with the Colt 45s
Tuning in to summer PBP fun with the Colt 45s
It’s been a transition year for yours truly (and you and yours, truly), so I haven’t shared or been active as “The Sports Guy” in a while. That doesn’t mean I’m not gearing up to crank it up post-COVID, and one (long) example is my “best of” reel for calling Redding Colt 45s baseball. There was no action last summer due to COVID, so I went through the entire 2019 season and pieced together some…

Pack out the whole pack after you inhale/exhale on the trails, and other poop to share
Pack out the whole pack after you inhale/exhale on the trails, and other poop to share
OK, so you aren’t really interested in being told what to do, I get it. Honestly, I don’t care what you do in your backyard with your cigarette butts and trash. Pile it high. Live and roll around in it.
But you know, when I’m out on the trails, wherever they are, that space is mine. It’s also the domain of the deer I saw across the…

Cooling off with the dogs as the summer heat rolls in
Cooling off with the dogs as the summer heat rolls in
During the very hot days in the north valley area of Shasta County, it gets just flat out dangerous for the boys to get outside. So I look for short, easy hikes to get them close to the water without too much effort, allowing for some exercise and some fun. This spot – at the end of Delano Drive in Swasey – is just a quarter mile or so from the trail head, if you take the bottom fork. Plenty of…

Some hikes never get old
Some hikes never get old
What’s interesting to me is that I meet some folks, maybe just starting out as hikers or just trying to get out for a little adventure, and they say: I stopped before I got all the way there. Never, ever stop before the payoff, as long as you’re healthy. The hike to Whiskeytown Falls is a short hike up, of course, about 1.6, and…

It's about more than the horse: Ken Rudulph talks about doing his thing in sports and entertainment
It’s about more than the horse: Ken Rudulph talks about doing his thing in sports and entertainment
Ken Rudulph admittedly was not a fan of horse racing when he took a job with the-then fledgling TVG Horse Racing Network. Fast forward more than two decades, and he has forged a career in, around and beyond the world of horse racing that makes him one of the truly coolest guys I’ve known in the business. We talk about raising a kid in the biz, landing the long shot on live TV, playing music with…
