My good friend Nick Tagliaferri and I WERE somewhat celebrities. We took advantage of our impressive coaching resumes. SPENCE TAG RADIO was well before its time. A weekly part-time gig had many listeners. No advertisers. I truly believe that we were the first local PODCAST. But our success only lasted for one season. We broke
Pennsylvania’s fall turkey season is over, the bear season has ended, and the regular firearm season for deer ended on December 14. For many of the Keystone State’s hunters, the end of the rifle deer season signals that it is time to clean their rifles and shotguns and that the hunting season has ended. But
With the exception of the upcoming Flintlock deer season, our deer hunting is over in most states. When we run into our hunting buddies, the photos come out, and the success stories follow. Most of the racks are what many of us would consider “average,” but now and again, a really nice rack comes up.
I realize our regular firearms deer season is over for this year, but if you were not able to tag that deer, there are still some opportunities left. Our statewide flintlock deer season for both antlered and antlerless deer runs from Dec. 26-Jan. 20. Sure, you have to put that high-powered rifle with the scope
One of the joys of part-time scribing is getting to know so many great local kids involved with sports. We meet up in high school, and then we stay in touch. Sometimes, I will do a college or even a professional follow-up. Yes. It is grand. There is an impressive list. Both boys and girls
As the strains of Auld Lang Syne ring out on New Year’s Eve, longtime Little League International President and CEO Steve Keener will enter retirement and turn over the mantel of leadership to Pat Wilson. Appreciably, he took the time to reflect upon his experiences with Webb Weekly. WW: How satisfying has your career been?
It is probably a safe assumption that the leftovers from the Thanksgiving feast were devoured well before the four-day holiday football indulgence gave way to December’s arrival. Dubbed ‘rivalry weekend,’ the concluding week of the college football regular season lived up to its billing, featuring exciting games and upsets with positive results for Eagles and
Happy Belated Thanksgiving to the readers of the Webb Weekly. I especially thank those of you who check out this page. Your feedback and praise mean the world to me. I enjoy sharing these columns. The winter sports scene is now in full swing. I look forward to many more adventures — even a few
This past Saturday, December 7, the Nation paused to reflect upon the horrific Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, killing 2,400 Americans, destroying 20 Naval vessels, and plunging America into World War II. One week later, this Saturday, December 14, will mark the 32nd observance of Wreaths Across America, established as a tribute remembrance of
With less than two weeks of shopping days left until the arrival of Christmas morning, we need to take a serious look at a couple of great ideas for that hard-to-buy-for sportsman on your gift-giving list. The ideas will include items I have used and found to be highly useful and handy for any hunter,
When it comes to heading off into the woods in search of that big buck on the opening day of rifle season, we all have our own approach. As those of us who hunt already know, opening-day hunting tactics have changed considerably over the years. Basically, there are three approaches to pursuing deer: an organized
As the school bus headed north along country roads to Towanda, conversation conjuncture centered on several small hamlets passed through along the way. What led people to decide to settle there, what do they do for a living, and what school do their kids attend? Answers weren’t readily forthcoming for the first two questions, but
