Dropped balls are common in football. Of course, it's embarrassing when the pigskin goes right through the receiver's fingers and bounces off the numbers of his chest to the ground. Still, it's a fact of life in football and even the best receivers occasionally come down with a case of fumbly fingers.
Same is true in baseball. Have you ever seen a catcher setting himself to catch a popup for a sure out? Every once in a while, something goes wrong and the ball pops out of his glove.
Even in basketball, there are cases of dropped balls in every game. Passes go awry and end up going out of bounds, thus turning the ball over to the other team. In basketball every turnover is a lost opportunity for a basket.
What do dropped balls have to do with this blog? Well, just maybe, it might be that I've dropped the ball in keeping the blog updated the last few weeks. I was out-of-town in Denver two weeks ago so that gave me an excellent excuse. Unfortunately, though, I've been back home thirteen days and this is the first blog update since June 22nd. Happy 4th of July, everyone!
Oh, I'm a little late for that, huh? Oh, well, all I can say is "I dropped the ball." I'll try to do better next time, coach. Don't sit me on the bench, please!
