I really have wanted to write something about Jackie Robinson and Sunday's 60th anniversary of his breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball. Maybe throw something about radio personality Don Imus being fired for racist comments, too. Heck, even talk a little about Dubai.
But I'm swamped right now, and honestly not really feeling that clever.
So instead, here's an ESPN.com article about the housing project in Brooklyn built where Ebbets Field used to be. It's sad, and frustrating, but important to know, I think. (Plus it quotes hip-hop artist Talib Kweli's mother, who's a Englsih professor in Brooklyn).
Something new and original tomorrow. Or maybe Friday. But soon. I promise.
