Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 5, 2024 is: drub • DRUB • verb To drub an individual or team, as in a game or contest, is to defeat them decisively. // Morale after the game was low: the hometown team had been drubbed by the worst team in the league. See the entry > Examples: “Dallas looked like one of the best teams in the NFL through two weeks, drubbing the Giants 40-0 in Week 1 and beating the Jets 30-10 in Week 2.” — David Brandt, The Associated Press, 24 Sept. 2023 Did you know? Sportswriters often use the word drub when a team they are covering is drubbed—that is, routed—but the term's history reveals that it wasn't always a sporting word. When drub was first used in English, it referred to a method of punishment that involved beating the soles of the accused's feet with a stick or cudgel. The term was apparently brought to England in the 17th century by travelers who reported observing the punitive practice abroad. The ultimate origin of drub is uncertain, but the etymological culprit may be the Arabic word ḍaraba, meaning “to beat.” Over the centuries, drub developed the additional milder, and now more common, meanings of “to berate critically” and “to defeat decisively.”
Sportswriters are rejoicing today. Why?
Eight Men Out (1988) is a dramatization of professional baseball's infamous Black Sox scandal, in which eight members of the Chicago White Sox conspired with gamblers to intentionally lose the 1919 World Series to the Cincinnati Reds. The film, which was directed by John Sayles, is based on Eliot Asinof's 1963 book, Eight Men Out: The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series. It recounts how a group of White Sox players conspired with an array of gamblers, including notorious underworld financier Arnold Rothstein (a/k/a “The Big Bankroll”), to throw the series in return for cash. After the Sox, who some consider one of the greatest baseball teams of all time, lose the series, suspicions grow that there had been a fix based on rumors and the nature of some players' poor performances. Eight players are charged with conspiracy and tried in Chicago in 1921. Although the players are all acquitted, baseball's new commissioner, Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, banishes them all for life from baseball, a bold move that some believe saved the game of baseball, which was still in its relative infancy, and enabled it to become “America's pastime.” Debates around the events continue to this day, including over the level of involvement of some players and the draconian nature of the punishment. With me to discuss this movie are Robert Boland and Brett Max Kaufman.

Charles Pierce takes time away from his job as lead political writer for Esquire to reflect on his nearly 50 years of experiences as a sportswriter. In this part 1 of a 2-part episode, Pierce recalls covering Bill Buckner's error, Ben Johnson's drug scandal at the Seoul Olympics, and the rollicking days of Big East basketball in the 1980s. He also provides insight into Larry Bird as a person and basketball icon. Oh, and we discuss bars, too. Sportswriters understand. Part 2 of my conversation with Pierce will be published on Nov. 8 and include more stories about Bird and discussion about Tiger Woods, Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, the NBA of the 1980s and early '90s, the National Sports Daily, and other tales. Pierce has been the lead political writer for Esquire since September 2011. He worked nine years for the Boston Globe as a reporter, sports columnist and staff writer for that paper's Sunday magazine starting in 2002. He had previously been a sports columnist for the Boston Herald. Pierce left the Globe in 2011 to join Esquire fulltime after having been a contributing writer for that magazine since 1997. He was a feature writer and columnist for The National Sports Daily in 1990 and '91. His articles on sports and politics have also appeared in GQ, Sports Illustrated, the New York Times Magazine, the Los Angeles Times Magazine, The Nation, The Atlantic American Prospect, Slate, the Chicago Tribune, ESPN's Grantland, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, and the Media Matters blog Altercation. Pierce has made appearances on ESPN's “Around the Horn” and often co-hosted NESN's “Globe 10.0” with Bob Ryan. Pierce was a longtime regular panelist on the NPR quiz show “Wait Wait . . . Don't Tell Me!” and has made appearances on the NPR program “Only A Game.” The Massachusetts native began his journalism career in 1976 at his hometown Worcester Magazine before moving to Boston two years later to write for the alternative publication, The Phoenix. In 2018, the United States Basketball Writers Association inducted Pierce into its Hall of Fame. He won a National Headliners Aware in 2004 for his Boston Globe Magazine piece, “Deconstructing Ted.” He has been named a finalist for the Associated Press Sports Editors' award for best column writing on several occasions. Many of his stories have been featured in the annual compilation, “Best American Sportswriting.” Pierce was a 1996 National Magazine Award finalist for his piece on Alzheimer's disease, “In the Country of My Disease.” He was awarded third place in the Pro Basketball Writers Association's Dan S. Blumenthal Memorial Writing Contest. Pierce is the author of four books: · “Idiot America: How Stupidity Became a Virtue In The Land Of The Free” · “Moving the Chains: Tom Brady and the Pursuit of Everything” · “Sports Guy: In Search of Corkball, Warroad Hockey, Hooters Golf, Tiger Woods, and the Big, Big Game” · “Hard to Forget: An Alzheimer's Story” Pierce earned a degree in journalism from Marquette University in 1975. His alma mater honored him with a “2021 Alumni National Award – Byline Award,” to which Pierce responded: “I'd like to think that my getting this award might encourage students who don't feel like they fit in and show them that this profession still values ferocious eccentricity.” Here's a link to Pierce's political blog for Esquire: https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/ You can follow him on X at: @CharlesPPierce Learn more about your ad choices.

We head down South on this episode with Rick Cleveland, who has been named Mississippi Sportswriter of the Year a record 14 times. He discusses how sports helped to finally end segregation in his home state during his career of nearly 60 years. Rick shares anecdotes about Walter Payton, Brett Favre, and Archie Manning – father of Peyton and Eli – before and after they left Mississippi and became NFL stars. He recalls witnessing Tiger Woods winning the Masters for the first time. He tells us about point guard Ruthie Bolton, one of 20 children in her family, winning an Olympic gold medal. And Rick shares memories of the bitter and historic Egg Bowl rivalry between Ole Miss and Mississippi State. Cleveland, a native of Hattiesburg and resident of Jackson, has received more journalism awards than any sportswriter in Mississippi history. In January, he received his record 14th honor as the state's best sportswriter from the National Sports Media Association. Rick was inducted into the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame in 2016 and into the Hattiesburg Hall of Fame in 2018. He received the Richard Wright Award for Literary Excellence in 2011 and was inducted into the University of Southern Mississippi Communications Hall of Fame in 2018. In 2000, he was honored with the Distinguished Mississippian Award from Mississippi Press Association. Rick has covered sports since 1966. His first story was published at age 13 for the Hattiesburg American, where he worked throughout high school and college. After earning bachelor's degrees in journalism and history from the University of Southern Mississippi, he joined the Monroe (La.) News Star World for one year. Rick then returned to Mississippi at the Jackson Daily News before moving to that city's Clarion-Ledger as a beat reporter covering Ole Miss and Mississippi State. He later became the paper's sports editor and columnist. Since 2016, Cleveland has been writing a syndicated sports column for Mississippi Today after serving four years as executive director of the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame. Rick has covered 29 Super Bowls and has chronicled the NFL careers of Mississippi natives such as Payton, Favre, Manning, Jerry Rice, Steve McNair and Ray Guy. He has also covered several Masters tournaments, the 1996 Summer Olympics, the U.S. Open in golf, and Finals Four and College World Series appearances by Mississippi teams. Three generations of Rick's family have covered sports in Mississippi since 1946. His father, “Ace” Cleveland was a longtime sportswriter and editor at the Hattiesburg American before spending 33 years as sports information at Southern Miss. Ace worked 325 consecutive football games for the Golden Eagles, and he's enshrined in the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame. Rick's brother, Bobby, spent 30 years as the outdoors writer for the Clarion-Ledger. Rick's son, Tyler, has covered Mississippi sports for more than a decade.

Giamatti's principled view of Baseball's public duty to the fans and to America; a fuller exploration of Baseball's embrace of the “Mark Zuckerberg Mentality” that ensures a place for the “snakes in the garden,” including through the guidance revealed by movies, “Moneyball,” “The Social Network,” and “The Natural;” and the duty of those who remain - the Hall of Fame, the Little League, the Sportswriters, and the Umpires - to do Epic Battle to preserve the authenticity of the game. Relying on Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti's actual words and those read by his actor son, Marcus, “Downfall” examines Giamatti's moral, ethical, and historical decision to ban Pete Rose from baseball in 1989. And it reveals, through Giamatti's other actions and temperament developed in battles earlier in his life, including at Yale, that his decision was but the prelude to a grander strategy to win the Epic Battle against greed and cheating by Baseball's “snakes in the garden,” which Baseball, steeped in its “Zuckerberg Mentality,” has since been unwilling and, without the intervention of other forces, is incapable of waging. Emmy award winning journalist, Diane Smith, and Giamatti biographer, Neil Thomas Proto, lead the way.

Sportswriters don't generally win a James Beard culinary award. It's like Lionel Messi winning an Oscar.But that's exactly what my next guest, Baxter Holmes, has done. In fact, he's the only sportswriter, thus far, to have achieved this singular honour, for his article about the humble peanut butter & jelly sandwich and its unlikely rise to pre-match secret weapon for the NBA.Baxter is the senior national NBA writer for ESPN, focusing on features, projects and anything else of interest in the world of basketball.Recently, he has found himself becoming increasingly fascinated with what the players do away from the court.In the process, he unearthed a fantastic story about the NBA's growing obsession with wine.Players, it seems, have moved beyond the usual trappings of wealth – houses, cars, bling etcetera – and are instead turning their attention (and sizeable incomes) to a more unusual pursuit. Wine.Surprisingly, this is not merely a story of bragging rights over who can buy the most expensive bottle.These NBA stars, including LeBron James, have developed a genuine interest in wine. They want to know about it intimately, develop their palates and be able to speak knowledgeably about wine. Some have even taken a giant leap and purchased their own vineyards.So, stay with me on Drinks Adventures as Baxter reveals how he embarked on his investigation into the NBA's burgeoning wine obsession.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 11, 2021 is: drub • DRUB • verb 1 : to beat severely 2 : to berate critically 3 : to defeat decisively Examples: Morale after the game was low: the hometown team had been drubbed by the worst team in the league. "After getting drubbed by a combined 65 points, the Warriors beat two winless teams—Chicago and Detroit—and started to learn how they need to play." — Wes Goldberg, The Mercury News (San Jose, California), 1 Jan. 2021 Did you know? Sportswriters often use drub, but the term's history reveals that it wasn't always a sporting word. When drub was first used in English, it referred to a method of punishment that involved beating the soles of a culprit's feet with a stick or cudgel. The term was apparently brought to England in the 17th century by travelers who reported observing the punitive practice in Asia. The ultimate origin of drub is uncertain, but some etymologists have speculated that it may have evolved from the Arabic word ḍaraba, meaning "to beat."

In 1977, Melissa Ludtke, a Sports Illustrated baseball reporter, was told that she was banned from reporting in the locker rooms because she was a woman. In 1978, she went to court with the federal case Ludtke v. Kuhn and won, creating an equal access policy for reporters in Major League Baseball. She took the time to share her entire story from start to finish, discussing the exclusion she and the other women in the “male-dominated culture” felt, along with what still needs to change today.

In the pre-1900's days of professional baseball teams did not travel all that far to play games which often were played on Sunday afternoon. By 1901 with the birth of the American League, teams traveled by train and even by boat. No other sport to this day has scheduled road trips like baseball. With a 162 game schedule, players still leave home and go on the road for as long as 2 weeks. Sportswriters no longer get to travel on the team plane as they once did on the trains that would carry teams from city to city until air travel for MLB teams became the standard in the last 1950's. The writers and players had a very different relationship during the days of train travel and some of the most quotable characters were baseball players providing juicy nuggets for famous and aspiring sportswriters. Yogi Berra, Dizzy Dean, and Ralph Kiner are just a few of the most quotable players from the first half of the 20th century. Today of course it's all about social media posts.
Chad Conine and Brice Cherry are back to talk Centex football: • Now that it's officially fall and district races are coming down to the wire in Week 9, does the COVID-19 season basically feel like normal — do you still get that same feeling like it’s flown by? • One big thing happening locally is a big-time record chase out there: The Central Texas career rushing record holder is Traion Smith from Cameron Yoe with 7,625 yards. With 3 regular season games remaining, Troy RB Zach Hrbacek is sitting at 7,265. It looks like that record is going down, right? • The Centex pound-for-pound power rankings: A slight shakeup after last week's top-10 clash in District 9-4A D-II. • Speaking of rankings, there are a bunch of area games involving state-ranked teams this week, most notably No. 2 Duncanville coming into Waco ISD Stadium to face the Lions. Of course, Waco High had to pause all activities the last couple of weeks after a COVID-19 scare. That probably puts them at an even greater disadvantage, but what the heck, they’re gonna go play, right? So what would you tell the Lions if it were up to you to give the pep talk? • Road trips and convenience store meccas: Sportswriters chow down on their favorite postgame snacks.Support the show: https://wacotrib.com/sports/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When it was first published in 1970, Ball Four stunned the sports world. The commissioner, executives, and players were shocked. Sportswriters called author Jim Bouton a traitor and a "social leper." Commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force him to declare the book untrue, but fans loved the book and many critics hailed it as an important social document. 50 years after his chronicling of the 1969 season, and just months after Bouton’s passing, we were thrilled to be joined by Mark Blakemore to discuss and celebrate Ball Four, as one of the most loved and significant baseball books ever written.

We're back with a Hall of Fame heavy episode. The Tigers did a few minor things, but most of the talk around the game revolved today around Mariano Rivera's unanimous first ballot selection to Cooperstown, a feat which, bizarrely, no one had ever managed until today. Sportswriters man...someone always has to be the curmudgeon. Imagine not voting for Greg Maddux the moment he appeared on Hall of Fame ballots. Ridiculous. We take a look at the Tigers minor league signings and wonder what they say about hopes for the Tigers actually signing any more real major leaguers this offseason.The Baseball Writers Association of America elected Mariano Rivera, Mike Mussina, Roy Halladay, and Edgar Martinez to the hallowed halls on Tuesday.We look at Jay Jaffe's JAWS system for peak years and Hall of Fame credentials.Put more catchers in the Hall of Fame.
