Happy Fourth of July soon enough! BBR starts its midyear conference tomorrow through 7/6. It will be replete with sand, sun (hopefully), food, adult beverages, and fireworks. Our intent today, getaway day, was to bring you a serving of Ten Piece Nuggets. But, with inflation the way it is trending, and labor and commodity shortages …
Has any city ever held more than one major championship trophy in the same year? Yes. In fact, when you consider the four major sports (NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL) it has happened twelve times. “It” is owning two titles at the same time. The city of New York dominates with half(6) of these occurrences. …
One of our staff writers is feeling a bit salty today. Maybe it’s because he (or she-not sure about their pronouns) went saltwater fishing yesterday. Or, more likely, it’s not. The sports world giveth, and then sometimes the sports world taketh. On Monday, Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib became the first active NFL …
Jerry Tarkanian had a full-time job from 1973 through 1992. He was the head coach of the Las Vegas Runnin’ Rebels college basketball team.

Thoughts, we have a few. Nuggets, we have ten for you. Sports and culture, and for that matter politics, seem joined at the hip these days. So, we are here to serve. College baseball is in full swing, pun intended. Last Friday through today, the 16 who thrived in the week ago regionals went head …
A funny thing happened on the way to the prom. Actually, a funny thing happened when you got to the prom at Exeter High School in Exeter, New Hampshire a few days ago. Turns out that either you were vaccinated and could show proof, or you were “branded” with a number on your skin via …
Surely you’ve heard of the expression “never two without three?” First, it was the Colonial Pipeline Company that was struck May 11th by a ransomware attack. This is where a bad actor puts malicious software, or “malware,” onto their network, that encrypts drives and software to the point that they couldn’t run the business. For …
Dr. Fauci and the CDC have spent a year hard at work. And, thanks to their great efforts now you can go back to work and pay some taxes. Actually, Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson have spent a year hard at work, not your government, but we digress already. But, now your government is …
Back by popular demand is our Ten Piece Nuggets column, random style. Who knew that your taste buds would be so approving last week? You did, and you told us as much. Sports, news, politics make for some good hash to hash out. Bitcoin hit a high for the year and its existence of $64,895 …
