BSMW has been only sporadically updated for some time now. As I find less and less of the on-air sports media to be even remotely palatable, it is difficult for me to find the desire to write much about it. I toss around occasional ideas for revamping things here, but time is sparse. When the … Continue reading BSMW Status Update
Changing Things Up A Little
So, as you can see, things look a little different around here. The design I had been using had been in place since 2008, I believe. This is not a finished product, however.

Where is Bruce?
I've gotten a few inquiries this week as to my whereabouts, though it looks like things have thrived around here thanks to the work of Ryan and Chris.

BSMW In The New York Times
I'm under the weather here for another day, but well enough for a little shameless self-promotion, as BSMW got a nice mention, and I'm quoted in this Mike Tanier column in The New York Times. Talking Trash, Just to Be Heard I hope to be back with regular links for tomorrow.
