Recent Sports Necrology: Over the past day or two the sports world has lost some notable people. Stirling Moss, passed away at the age of 90. He was one of the legendary racing drivers in what some might call the golden age of racing. Moss competed against the likes of Juan Manuel Fangio (a teammate) when Ferrari, Maserati, and Mercedes ruled.

Rusty Staub Dead at 73: A sad note on opening day, Le Grand Orange has passed away. His career spanned 23 seasons, mainly with the Montreal Expos and the New York Mets.

Roger Bannister has Passed Away: Roger Bannister, the first man to run a mile in less than 4 minutes has died. The feat was accomplished in 1954. We had a small black and white TV, and film of it was shown on the sports news. I also remember seeing it in the newsreels at the movies. It was a really big deal then, but now even high school kids are running under 4 minutes

...and Maybe the Dynamite Fizzles: Cleveland is having second thoughts about the Thomas-Irving trade after Isaiah Thomas took his physical. What's up here?

Boom goes the dynamite.: After promising off-season fireworks for the past few years, the Boston Celtics have delivered. A trade of Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Anton Zizic, and the unprotected first round draft pick from Brooklyn in exchange for Cleveland's Kyrie Irving has been announced. Does this put Boston into the NBA finals? What is Cleveland thinking? 2017-18 will be an interesting season.

The explanation of what would happen with the regular season games on the Celtics schedule marked 'TBD' ran about 3 paragraphs. These were marked for December 6 and 8, and are contingent on the In Season Tournament. If the Celtics continue to the final, there are 2 games that will need to be made up. The explanation told me only that I won't have to pay anything extra, and that's all that counts.

Due to a crazy schedule in the last half of November (and it gets worse until the New Year), I have been unable to keep up with my NFL picks. Please consider me as officially withdrawn. No problems here. We have a new priest at church who is filling a job that in the past had required 2 assistants. We do have an ordained Deacon, but she is limited in what she can do. I now find myself with a new ministry, bringing the Eucharist to a group at a local nursing home. While the actual service is simple, I have to do a few remarks on the Scripture readings as well. That's about 6 to 8 hours of preparation. I still have my duties on the Vestry, I still work as a Verger, reader, and lay Chalicer, and now I'm part of a committee planning the adult Christian Education program for the coming year. Oh yeah, I also worship the Green Gods at TD Garden at nearly every home game. Who says that old people don't have enough to do?

I read this in another source. SI's parent company claims that AdVon has allowed authors to use aliases in order to protect themselves. SI claims that this is the reason for terminating the AdVon contract.

Had I gone for broke and locked everything last week, I would now be in or near the lead in this. 'Twas not to be; no guts, no glory. No locks this week because I have finally figured out that I don't have a clue.
