Some angry racist southern columnist born around the time of the Civil War is upset about MLB opening the season in Japan. He even plays the Pearl Harbor card, because we all know Dice-K was involved with that. What a moron.
MLB Column: Furman Bisher Harkens Pearl Harbor
sportsbybrooks.com 3/26/2008 — We didn’t realize 89-year-old Furman Bisher was still penning columns for the ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION until today. We read him during our time at the University of Georgia and often saw him puttering around the press box at old Fulton ...
Opening Day in Cincinnati: A Great American Tradition
blue-collarbaseball.blogspot.com 3/27/2008 — I'm counting down the days until Opening Day in Cincinnati when the 2008 baseball season officially starts. I know that the Red Sox and the A's have technically played two regular season games but, in my book, the season hasn't started yet. Maybe some ...
Cancel Baseball. Cancel Sports. Cancel All Human Events in All Cities.
firejoemorgan.com 3/28/2008 — I'm all for tradition. Wait, scratch that. I'm for keeping the traditions that make sense. Actually, scratch that too. I'm more of a "let's see what works and what doesn't and then do what's best so we can constantly fucking improve ourselves, yeah?" ...
REMINDER: FURMAN BISHER IS OLD —
EDSBS
You’re not going to like it when I say this…
Furman Bisher is very, very old: 89, in fact, and still writing columns for the AJC. To be very, very honest, we respect his longevity but have never particularly enjoyed his work, making him the Bob Dylan of Atlanta sportswriting: around, allegedly legendary, and never really doing anything for us. Then again, when we were growing ...
Furman Bisher Is Old, Dislikes The Japanese —
MVN Outsider
One of my complaints about today’s newspapers is that, generally, their writers tend to be a few years away from the retirement home and are often out-of-touch with much of society. Don’t get me wrong, I respect the opinions of the countless codgers who populate sports press boxes all across the country, penning their column for the local newspaper. But I think the print media ...
Opening Day in Japan Wasn't a Hit With Everyone Back at Home —
FanHouse
We live in a world that accepts Jose Canseco as a twice-published author and Juan Pierre as a starting outfielder, which is to say, it's not all that easy to surprise anymore. Thankfully, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution still has a place in its pages for nonagenarian Furman Bisher. I assume he comes to things with a slightly different viewpoint than those born after the Wilson ...
Furman Bisher would like to remind you about the Japanese and World War II —
umpbump.com
I’m not one to pick a fight. Whenever the editor of a newspaper for which I don’t work for comes over to my cubicle screaming obscenities as to why the Internet is jacked up, I look down, blush red in anger, and bite my lip.
Loyal UmpBump readers know that I rarely have a bone to pick with anyone (well, except Jay Mariotti , but who doesn’t?!)
But this morning, as I ...
Bisher’s Opening Day Bomb —
Can't Stop The Bleeding
For the second time this week, a columnist from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has managed to find fault with MLB’s decision to open the 2008 season in Japan. First, Jeff Schultz weighed in, followed Wednesday by the venerable Furman Bishe r (link swiped from Repoz and Baseball Think Factory ), who presumably didn’t get up in time to watch Rich Harden (above) baffle the Red ...
