Zohn reader Jason asked a good question about my recent blog post on weasels. "The PD actually pays you to post stuff like this???!! Really?" I'm saddened Jason didn't like my post on weasels, one of my favorites in a long time. But I accept his judgment. It's the payment [...]
This is NOT a sports post. If all you want to read is a sports post, stop now and turn around. This post is quite frankly about weasels. Specifically, it is about the bad rap weasels get. And believe me, your weasel is villified for no good reason. I was [...]
I'll get to the sports hook for this post in a moment. First, I have to say I am confused about two expressions in English. 1) I couldn't care less. 2) I could care less. I hear these all the time and it seems to me they are used interchangeably [...]
I know I should be writing hard sports right now but, remember, I'm on vacation and I'm not even writing columns for another two weeks. So my mind is wandering -- and I'm avoiding painting my front deck. Now to Coors beer and sports, a subject that's on my mind. [...]

Just got off the phone with my editor. In a polite way he asked if I was the one who wrote Tim Lincecum didn't pitch well in Saturday's game. I said I'd check my copy. I checked. I wrote it. That's total embarrassment. I was at the game and I [...]
As Zohn readers know, the Press Democrat moved the Cohn Zohn to a new, spiffier platform. In the process of moving, my blogs from last week got misplaced. That's what happens when you move. I just cut and pasted those blogs into the new platform. Unfortunately, I could not bring [...]
Before I get started on Reggie Bush and shame I have a few things to catch up on. As you know I'm on vacation. One Zohn reader advanced the theory that the Press Democrat made this a forced vacation because of recent blogs I've written. It's an interesting theory which [...]
