He discovered the grass is only greener here (it\u2019s blue in Kentucky), so he returned to again take charge of his 1954 green Hudson Hornet that had been in storage, refilled his pipe, and is continuing his smokin\u2019 ways. Here is what he recently told us at the Sports Paper.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Big Dawg, what is the big deal about all the so-called experts breaking down the Super Bowl confrontation between the Seachickens and the Broncos? Man, the Feb. 2 game in New Jersey is really simple: It\u2019s Peyton against the Seachickens\u2019 secondary. I can\u2019t see the Seachickens getting a good rush on Peyton. The Broncos offensive line is too good. Besides, Peyton is brilliant when it comes to analyzing defensive schemes. Then, on top of that, he has the quickest release of almost everybody. He can\u2019t throw the deep ball like he once could, but he can hit the slants and seam routes and let his receivers do the rest. The Seachickens best shot is if the secondary can blanket Peyton\u2019s receivers and force him to throw the ball way before his OL finally caves in. I would give the edge to the Broncos just because of Peyton, who will go down as the best QB in the history of the No Fun League. And this might be his last hurrah. He\u2019s thinking about retiring. I\u2019m guessing he will. He\u2019s got enough money to last numerous lifetimes, and he appears to not be brain damaged as many No Fun League players eventually will be, so why not quit? For that reason, I believe he will put on a super performance in the Super Bowl. Although, I\u2019m not sure he can be better than he was in the semifinals against Tom and the Patriots. Peyton was simply awesome. As for the Seachickens, they will need to put more points on the board than they have been in the last six or seven weeks. They will need to get into the 30s, at least. You won\u2019t see a 17-10 game, that\u2019s for sure. I see a 42-35 game. But if it is snowing and icy, all bets are off. It\u2019s predicted to be very cold for the game in the New Jersey Meadowlands. So we\u2019ll see who plays best as a snowman. \u2026 The race for the Olympic League boy\u2019s basketball championship appears to be just about over. I saw Bremerton dismantle Klahowya (who hasn\u2019t done that this season) and they seem to be even better then they were the first time I saw them earlier in the season. Deonte Dixon, of course, is the best player in the OL, but now Skyler Lewis, a 6-3 senior, is coming on. He plays like Dixon without a perimeter shot. The engine that makes the Knights go is 5-10 senior guard Tarez Mason. He is unbelievably quick and has great hands. The Knights also get good inside play form 6-3 Marquis Gurske, son of Olympic College men\u2019s basketball coach Michael Gurske. Gurske can shoot it from outside if needed, but his primarily role is getting rebounds, which he does extremely well. The only serious problem I have with the Knights, besides lack of height, is their two losses in Yakima to Toledo and Vashon, both class 1A teams. Vashon, however, is 11-1 with just a one-point loss at Eatonville marring a perfect record. Toledo is 9-6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Bumming around town with Bill Bumerton Bumerton is a retired Navy fighter pilot who had been missing in action for&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bumerton"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1096"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1096\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1097,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1096\/revisions\/1097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
