Some quick thoughts from Ron Brown of the Bangor Daily News on Big Papi.

Deadspin, among other blogs, offers a lengthy inter-office memo to ESPN employees. It’s always interesting to get a “behind-the-scenes” peek at what goes on, especially in environments we think we would love to be privy to. For me, like many enamoured with sports, the realization (finally) set in that a career on the playing field was not in the cards (people of a ceratin age root for aging players like Julio Franco, Jesse Orosco, and Hoyt Wilhelm: as long as there was someone still playing at their age, there was still hope. Yeh, right.) But then to learn that the grass isn’t always greener in these high-profile, all-access vocations…what a downer.
