So I have a Google Alert set up with my name so I can catch when I’m quoted by sportswriters or various blogs. Of course, there’s some noise in there, with occasional crime stories popping up (the hazard of having my last name) and, well, things like this:
But Geoff’s master stroke has been to appoint Keith Law as his Rabbit Captain. … Certainly, Keith is the man for this Mission Impossible and it will crown what looks like being another fabulous year’s golf at Hebden Bridge Golf Club if he can pull it off. Watch this space.
I have no idea what any of that means, but I might use “Rabbit Captain” as my title on my next set of business cards.
congratulations…i think?
Speaking of your name appearing in other people’s articles, you were referenced in a USA Today feature about Doug Gottlieb on Wednesday. How did your HGH conversation go down with Doug (as if I have to ask)?
Dearest Rabbit Captain,
I hate to off-topic here (not that I’m sure what the topic is, exactly), but my little corner of the interwebs is hosting an e-mail roundtable of various internet writers about the upcoming baseball season (confirms so far include Ducksnorts’ Geoff Young, Shyster, and Jason from It IS About the Money), and I was hoping against hope that you could square away a few minutes and lend your insight. If you’re interested, I’ll e-mail the questions; otherwise, I’ll leave you alone.
Thanks much,
Connor Doyle
That makes you the boss of every rabbit you see. Take THAT you lousy rabbits.
Uh, what about the Rabbit Generals?
Rabbit Captain seems like some sort of Watership Down thing.
All I have to say is, this is long overdue.
Congratulations! And only a few short weeks after Murray Chass was named Dinosaur Admiral!
Well, here in Chicago on WGN we used to have a Captain Kangaroo.
Then, who is more qualified than you to give us a scouting report on Walter James Vincent Maranville?
Isn’t it clear, you’ve been appointed captain of the clubs over 16 handicap team. Congratulations.
Congrats! I hope you get a swift promotion to Badger Colonel.
Tell us about the rabbits Keith. Come on Keith…rabbits.
It’ll all be fun and games until Cottontail Smith shows up at the club…
It was a boring chat day without you today.
Rabbit Captain? Badger Colonel? We all know Inspector Beaver is the way to go
(yes I said it, very sorry)
I would think Hare Ball is a better designation…..
Isn’t it clear, you’ve been appointed captain of the clubs over 16 handicap team. Congratulations.
Is that really what that means? I don’t golf, but it sounds like now I’m captain of a group of very bad golfers.
Keith, who is your Rabbit Lieutenant? Can I apply for the position? I feel as if I’m qualified for it.
Seriously….how can a sportswriter not eat steak?
I don’t know, Franklin. I’ve never met such a person.
