1 day ago | spokesman.com | Vince Grippi

A GRIP ON SPORTS • I’m pretty sure the song I rewrote the lyrics for the most while our children were growing up was Billy Joel’s “Piano Man.” It’s simple and it’s sweet and it works in every situation. For example, sometimes I would come home from work and belt out “It’s 6 o’clock on a Wednesday, dad walks through the back door …” Ruined their night. Often. And now I plan to ruin your day. •••••••• It works in a sports context as well. Try it. You know the tune. How could you not?

A Grip on Sports: With a Hall of Fame ceremony on the docket, maybe this is a good day to drill down a little deeper into this Hooptown moniker

2 days ago | spokesman.com | Vince Grippi

A GRIP ON SPORTS • Name two words that strike fear in your heart. Check engine? Dad’s home? Bullpen game? My choice on this Wednesday is simple: root canal. Why? We have an appointment for a procedure on a tooth that’s been a problem since mid-1970s. After 50 years, might a pain-free future await on the other side of the drill? •••••••• The tooth first broke, or exploded actually, while I was eating Grape Nuts one morning. I remember it vividly because, as a college student, I had no dental insurance.

Hassan’s family escapes – first to a refugee camp just across the Kenyan border, then to an apartment in Nairobi, and finally to Oslo.
