OK, I really don’t. But for reasons known only to the slack-jawed sports columnist gods, I felt the need to make a movie pun that would have bee funny, oh, I don’t know, back in 1997. But I digress.

But it doesn’t seem to be working, evident by this e-mail from former Wilson Memorial girls basketball coach Tim Byars regarding the Augusta County Schools knocking around the idea of cutting JV sports.
He asked me to post his comment. If you have any comments you would like posted until everything is fixed, just send me an e-mail and I’ll post them here.
If there’s one thing the youth in Augusta County know, it’s how to be the red flag in a tug-of-war.
On one side are the good elements pulling with all their might, doing everything they can to keep kids on the proverbial “straight-and-narrow path.“
On the other side are the bad elements. Gangs. Drugs. Crime. The whole nine yards, folks. The bad things. The things you don’t want your kids having anything to do with.
There are plenty of good things on the good side. Throw your beliefs out the window and take your pick. There’s religion, there’s school, there’s the library, there’s volunteer work and, of course, there’s sports (and countless others we’re pretty sure we’re forgetting at this moment).
Toggling between the butt-numbing bleachers and standing against a fence, I watched Justin Verlander give up one hit and lose to Clarke County. I watched Jake Peeling wrap his dad in a hug after pitching a no-hitter.
