Did I just hear that right? The former #1 draft pick turned total bust might be joining the UFL? JaMarcus Russell, an Omaha Nighthawk? And what a crazy, ironic turn of events which lead us here…as Jason Campbell, former Redskin takes Russell’s job, forcing him into oblivion. So sad, and such is life.
Crazy pants
“Daly’s game did not reflect the awesomeness of his pants”. John Daly strikes again in his “comeback” to golf. Most people know him best for his drinking problems (an Arnold Palmer lemonade/iced tea drink becomes a John Daly if you add vodka), and not necessarily for his strong golf swing (I became familiar with this … Continue reading
To Bobble-head or not to Bobble-head
My friend Sarah invited me to the Giants/Mets game, knowing that I am a Mets fan, and also in a thinly veiled attempt to get me to cheer up after my latest relationship blunder. My intern told me that this Saturday was Tim Lincecum Bobblehead night, quite the hot commodity. I told Sarah I wasn’t … Continue reading

The voice of the New York Yankees – the “voice of god” according to Derek Jeter – died today.
Bob Sheppard’s voice is the soundtrack to some of my best summer memories.
In my mind, there is no other voice that can instantly evoke a sense of place like Bob’s could. It will play forever in the back of my mind, like a favorite song. And he will always be saying Thurman Munson’s name.
RIP Bob Sheppard
Much Ado about LeBron
It’s the day we’ve all been waiting for. Today at 6pm, LeBron James will start a press conference from the Greenwich, CT Boys and Girls Club and announce his intentions of where he will spend his future basketball seasons. We all secretly knew it….Miami. Now on to more important things… Seriously though, LeBron probably stole … Continue reading
Root, root, root for the home team…
People like professional sports teams for strange reasons. Someone’s dad used to live in New York, so they like the Yankees even though they’ve lived in California all their lives. Someone’s first boyfriend was a Cowboys fan, so despite living in Chicago, you are donning a Romo jersey. The best ever is the situation where … Continue reading
The Rules of the Game
During this World Cup time, I have been thinking (and blogging) a lot about fairness. The officiating in this World Cup is some of the worst I have seen and it makes you wonder why video replay hasn’t made its way into the international arena yet. Upon watching this morning’s games it really dawned on … Continue reading

You Can’t Go Home Again
I realized this once already in 2004 when I attempted to go back to college after taking a year off to be a ski bum and live in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. I thought coming back to Maryland for my last semester would be a blast. Wouldn’t it be great to see all those friends again? … Continue reading
What Goes Around…
Watching the World Cup this year has made me think a little about karma. In USA’s Group games against Slovenia and Algeria, there were a number of terrible calls by the refs. Imaginary offsides, not calling blatant holds, disallowed goals. It should have kept the USA out of the elimination round, but it didn’t. Let’s … Continue reading
