This might be a little fractured, but it’s all of the things (minus the stuff I’m certainly going to forget) that need to be addressed on this heat-of-a-thousand-suns Sunday morning.
First, the Dew Tour has been mentioned in the comments a couple of times and I’ve been meaning to get to that. The bad news is [...]

You might remember last June when I spent a fair amount of time covering the Panasonic Open. It didn’t get a whole lot of press, but I’d argue it was as intense and professionally contested as anything else in town last year. I enjoyed the hell out of it.
And I plan to do so again, [...]

The Ravens lost, the Red Sox won, but there is some solid Baltimore news today: hometown hero Bucky Lasek skated off with the top spot in today’s PlayStation Pro event in Orlando, Florida.

I did a google image search for “Mark Burly” because I thought it would be funny to find a picture of a burly dude named Mark to put up with this post. Instead [...]

I didn’t spend as much time at the Panasonic Open as I would have liked. I only attended on Saturday, and the only event of consequence that I witnessed was the skateboard vert finals. The reason I chose that one event, of course, is tied directly to Dundalk native Bucky Lasek and my recent cover [...]
