Brave-O-Matic Breaking Camp

Ordinarily this weekend would be time for our Super Duper Preview Edition, but A Brett has been farmed out to Venice of the Eye-Talian League, and M Norman and I are going to Tunica to blow Junior's incipient college fund.

But when we return, get ready for another season of sporadic posts featuring an undercurrent of seething rage (A Brett), pretentious assertiveness (M Norman), and an overweening smugness (I'm told that's my department). And once again, dear reader (looking at you, Zbigniew Glymph of Keokuk, IA) -- simplistic analysis, clunky "humor", and strained attempts at cleverness will pervade all. We're looking forward to your comments again this year.
