Braving hurricane style flash storms, I headed up to Hell’s Kitchen for the Euro 2008 final at Lansdowne Road. Starting up at 2:30 we all had a full Irish breakfast (I usually pass on the congealed pigs blood aka black pudding but the rest is great hangover food) and after a few pints we [...]
A good series but the Lakes didn’t put together a good fight (they didn’t have a Shaq). I’m not a true NY fan according to a few guys I met at St. Andrew’s last night watching game 6 of the finals. Apparently true NY fans don’t root for any Boston teams no mater [...]
I know it’s not PacBell park anymore, but just as 3Com (or is it Monster park) was once (and always will be) Candlestick park, so it the latest SF Giant’s park still PacBell… I completely agree with this NY Times writer that the food at this park is fantastic, from the beer selection, the garlic [...]
In something out of a bad car chase movie, dozens of cyclists participating in a race were mowed over by a drunk and possibly drugged driver of a Mercury Grand Marquis.

This year, I’m putting into three brackets this year but I’ve selected my team for the turny… Big blue… no not Duke (they will be lucky to get out of the 1st round again), I’m going with KU: the Kansas U Jayhawks. My upset picks this year will be Arkansas over Indiana, St. Josephs [...]
Haile Gebrselassie the world record holder for the marathon run just announced that because of Bejing’s extensive air pollution problem, and his asthma, he won’t be running in the high endurance race.
China’s pollution problems for the Olympics have been well publicized on the net but are not fully well known to everyone in [...]

This was forwarded to me shortly after posting. A vid involving the Nebraska Husker Nation’s reaction and therapy after their blow out loss to Kansas (ESPN: Kansas stays unbeaten with trampling of Nebraska). I probably would have gone to more of my college games (even watched them on TV) if we had support [...]

So today I was on my way to play tennis with a friend in Central Park and was prevented from doing so because of police action in my subway stop. I entered the gates and quickly noticed a tension from the community of people standing around the platform. Two uniformed officers were frantically [...]
I love the slow crawl to the mound only to launch a grenade of powder at the umpire… this is the way to go all out with a BANG!
