Zelda warriors
Quick, let me buy some time!
# This is an article by Official Friend of DD&U Kevin Armstrong, a writer at Sports Illustrated. (For real! I have actual like, writer friends.) It’s about the golden age of sportswriting in Boston, when greats like Ray Fitzgerald, Will Mcdonough, Leigh Montville, Peter Gammons, and Bob Ryan were all regulars on the Boston Globe sports pages. Even if you’re not at all familiar with late-70’s Boston sports journalism (which I’m definitely not), read the whole. There’s a sepia-toned, old-school quality to Kevin’s piece that’s really enjoyable. We came up together on The Heights (the Independent Student Newspaper of Boston College), he the sports editor and I the news editor, and it was always apparent that he was going to do what he was doing then for a pro outfit someday. He’s a student of sportswriting, and sports and writing to boot. This is all to say that you’re in good hands with him. Enjoy!
# Something this crazy has got to be true!
# I find this to be incredible. The MBTA is floating the idea of raising fares on the T 15 or 20 percent, and at the same time, some plutocrat is paying $300,000 for an outdoor, uncovered parking spot. Amazing! What a world we live in!
