Euro 2008 Final

Well, I have been gone since last Tuesday and my soccer viewing has been minimized. I was able to see Germany’s 3-2 victory over a very game Turkey side, but I did not see Spain’s easy 3-0 win over an annoying Russian team.
Those games set up quite a final this afternoon between Spain and [...]

2008 NFL Prediction

Yes, I’m finally making my own predictions for the way the 2008 NFL season will turn out. No more of this ‘simulation‘ stuff, which a lot of people seemed to think were my actual prediction anyhow. Now you finally get my prediction as to what the standings will look like at the end of the [...]

The “Kiss-Cam” Experience

Last night I went to the Royals game in Kansas City, where they hosted the Colorado Rockies. It was a fun game to watch, the Royals won, we got to see a couple of home runs, a guy picked off at first, a pitcher throw 4 straight balls that looked like he had a blind [...]

Out of Town Again

I’m headed out of town again until Sunday.  Weller will be taking care of you (yes, he’s still alive).  He hasn’t been around much lately and last night the government finally listened to my letters and cut the power to Lawrence.  Enjoy the rest of your weeks.

NHL Draft

Well the 1st round of the NHL Draft is 3 hours in and the few names I recognized are off the board. I’m sort of checking back in occasionally to see if any trades have gone down since the last time I looked. Steven Stamkos went 1st to the Tampa Bay Lightning. [...]

Great Feuds and Overrated Players

There’s nothing I love more in sports than a bizarre feud that no one really understands.  There was Raul Mondesi and an agent who wanted all his money, Jose Mesa and Omar Vizquel, Jay Mariotti and anyone who would listen, and Orlando Cabrera and Edgar Renteria who just hate each other.  All of these were [...]

Wow, We’ve Been Slacking

It’s bee quite a while since we last posted something up here, but it’s not from lack of events in the sports world. Basically, we’re just big slackers and we know it. Sometimes video games matter more than anything else.
The Boston Celtics won the NBA Finals, though I didn’t watch any of [...]

Halfway Home

We’re two soccer games down and have made the final turn at the US Open.  So far, so good for anyone who has been following along with me.  First, we had the Elimination match in Group A of the Euros.  I had the Czechs winning 2-1 and that prediction looked great until about 3 minutes [...]

Quite a day ahead of us

Sunday around my house are reserved for watching sports…much like every other day, I just feel like things get started earlier so it takes up all day. Today, there are so many sporting events, I’m not sure I’ll be able to watch everything I want to.
Right now, Turkey and the Czech Republic are 14 [...]
