When a Game is More Than Just a Game
September 24, 2007 by 5 Comments
Last night I watched a documentary that I knew would be tough to watch but that I knew I could relate to. It’s an HBO documentary called Nine Innings to Ground Zero and it’s available on “HBO On Demand” for those of you in the US. I’m sure you can order it from Amazon or […]
The Euro Difference
September 20, 2007 by 3 Comments
What a difference the Euro has made. I remember when I was living and studying in London and traveling around Europe in the late 90’s and 2000-01, thinking how cheap everything was for Americans. The dollar was strong and the old currencies like the Italian Lira, French Franc, Greek Drachma, Dutch Gilder and Spanish Peseta […]

Barry Bonds Stands Alone
August 8, 2007 by 6 Comments
For me, watching 43 year old Barry Bonds majestically hit his 756th career home run 435 feet and break the most cherished record in sports last night was surreal. It made me remember what I love about sports and especially baseball. It made me forget all this other crap about steroids, HGH and other performance […]
Le Tour de “Who Cares”
July 29, 2007 by 3 Comments
I have never been a big Tour de France fan. So I am not going to pretend I long for the days of Lance Armstrong and Greg Lemond winning the worlds most prestigious cycling event. I really couldn’t care less. I am a huge sports fan and not just American sports so I feel that […]

July 23, 2007 by 4 Comments
I love Youtube, I just randomly found this. This is the official video of the Running of the Bulls that you can buy in Pamplona, Spain. This was my second day running. You can’t see me easily because I am wearing the traditional white clothes with red sash that everyone else is pretty much wearing. […]
Chaos at Carnoustie
July 22, 2007 by 4 Comments
This years British Open Championship took place at Carnoustie, Scotland and was as memorable for its collapses and mishaps than for its excellent and beautiful play. The stage was set for Tiger Woods to claim his third straight Clarett Jug but that wasn’t to be and it came down to two Europeans in Sergio Garcia […]
