Arsenal must break British transfer record for Luis Suarez, roars Liverpool’s Brendan Rodgers

okayface — Thu, 25 Jul 2013 9:06:55 AM -0400

The Reds manager softened his stance for the first time on his star striker, indicating he could be sold this summer, but not for less than the £50million Chelsea paid for Fernando Torres back in 2011. ‘If Arsenal want the player, then they have to produce the value for the player,’ he said after Liverpool’s 2-0 friendly win against Melbourne Victory. Rodgers, who has previously compared Suarez in the same bracket as Edinson Cavani, who recently joine...

Manila Cup 2013 (an Australian football international tournament)

Mike Macaraig — Tue, 28 May 2013 6:53:05 AM -0400

For the past five seasons, the Australian Football Manila Cup has left the Philippines. This time, the cup stays home. The Philippine Eagles won the 2013 Manila Cup in dramatic fashion. It is the first piece of silverware for the Eagles in 10 years of existence. The Philippine Eagles represent the Philippine Australian Football League (PAFL) in international competitions. The team had a great debut in 2004 when it defeated the Hong Kong Dragons, then reigning Asian champions, by 2...

Superbowl Predictions.

Anthony R — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 1:39:44 PM -0500

I know my political predictions have been off lately, picking John McCan't and Mitt Romney, but I think I'm a bit more knowledgeable about football... that is why I am predicting a Baltimore Ravens victory by at least a touchdown. Kapernick the rookie might be great on the option play, but he has never faced a defense as ferocious as Baltimore. Where ever he throws, he has to look out for Ed Reed while having Suggs and Lewis breathing down his neck. Its not like the 49ers don't have ...

Quick, someone help me find the BigTen network on my TV

terpfan1980 — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 1:03:52 PM -0500

I keed, I keed... I know where it is, even though I've never seen a reason to tune into the BigTen network on my TV before now. Now though, now that the Terrapins of the University of Maryland will apparently be moving to the BigTen network (which will wind up, at least temporarily, at 14 teams), well, now I need to figure out how to find my favored team playing their games on my TV. Apparently the gods at Verizon FiOS that determined which channels needed to be offered in my area w...

Sad news from world of baseball

terpfan1980 — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 1:51:51 PM -0400

Headline is linked: Man dies after falling out of stands at Rangers game Really tragic story. I'm sure there will be some kneejerk reactions to it all, but it just seemed to be a tragic accident and as pointed out in the article, thousands of games have been played and attended over the years without these things happening. Still, my heart goes out to the family and to the persons and players in attendance at the game as what they witnessed had to be horribly impactful.

Nationals manager quits over contract talks

terpfan1980 — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 11:45:11 AM -0400

Washington Nationals manager Jim Riggleman, who had just managed the team back to 1 game over the .500 mark, surprisingly quit on the team over what he deemed was a lack of respect in (the team's/General Manager's) not agreeing to hold talks about a contract extension/pick-up of the option on his existing contract. Original news announcements about the issue made it seem that he quit because he wasn't offered an extension. News conference footage, straight from the man's...

No NFL season means loss of $$

terpfan1980 — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 5:32:50 PM -0400

Some years back a co-worker and I were arguing about whether or not it made financial sense for the District of Columbia to spend the kind of money it would take to build a stadium for the baseball team that would be moving or had moved there. The co-worker hated the idea of any tax money, or any public money really, going to the rich owners of the baseball team. I argued that the money that was being spent on the stadium would result in a very nice revenue stream that would eventual...

Pollution Problems in China

KFC Kickin For Christ — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 12:43:21 PM -0400

Did you hear the latest news about the upcoming Olympics in China? There seems to be alot of controversy surrounding this world wide event. My son, who is an assistant sports editor for a newsroom, said there is much coming over the news wires right now about this. They may be canceling much of the Olympic activities due to pollution. All the endurance events may be canceled. Events such as running, biking and any outdoor activity would be squashed. He's wondering how Josh is goi...

Not Too Bad for a Beginner

Island Dog — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 12:13:10 PM -0400

I took my wife to the gun range today to let her try her hand at my fairly new Taurus 9mm I use for concealed carry. I believe this was her first time firing a handgun, and she didn’t do too bad for a beginner.

Water Sports Is the Way to Beat The Heat

KFC Kickin For Christ — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 11:47:11 AM -0400

I love the heat. I love the sunshine. I love to see green grass for more than half the year. When I lived in New England, I would have the worst case of cabin fever around February-March. I couldn't stand it. It's all a distant memory now. While I still love New England and still consider it home in many ways, I love my new adopted state so much. It's not fun running in the humidity, but it's not as bad as running in snow. I love the fac...

Intro

infinitysoldier — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 3:06:16 AM -0400

Hey this is Espa. This is going to be my fight blog, so I'll be posting stuff like martial arts news that are relevant to me, or personal experiences regarding my fights (amateur (for now) bouts), as well as my training sessions. Probably I would include stuff I'd just like to let out. So yeah see you (I don't know who "you" is/are but whatever) in a bit since I have class in a while.

A rather poor sports weekend

terpfan1980 — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 12:24:30 PM -0400

I knew going into the weekend that this past weekend wasn't likely going to produce the results I wanted from either of my favored teams. The Terrapins were going up against the Mountaineers and that's not been a good match-up for them historically. This year wasn't really any different as the Terps proceeded to let themselves basically be pushed all around the field. They did score some points, so perhaps it wasn't an embarassment, but West Virginia could have (seemingly) scor...

He's human, after all...

rvrfhsiahskfhghia — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 8:18:25 AM -0500

It has been a tough 72 hours for Tiger Woods, whose dirty laundry was tossed into the wind storm created by the lowest-common denominator media (aka TMZ). Reading through the commentary over the past 24 hours on Woods, the aftermath and the apology, the consensus theory is that he's human. Really. It took this fucking long for people to realize that Tiger Woods - the golfer, the icon, the video game avatar - is human? As if his knee injury-riddled victory in the U.S. Open didn't prove it, it ...

I have now learned not to just wing it. I app...

The marathon Icons have been up a month now, and I 3 weeks ago I ran my first Marathon for the Team In Training, raising money for the The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Tomorrow I run the Flying Pig marathon in Cincinnati, for Team in Training. this will be #2 of the 3 marathons that I will be doing. However my main fundraising tool is the Marathon Icons. Thanks to everyone who has purchased the Icons, or donated. Wish me luck. If you want to help me out, you c...

Michael Phelps - Suspension Deserved?

foreverserenity — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 9:38:53 AM -0500

I heard the news about Michael Phelps being caught with a bong, saw the picture, didn't think about it too much but knew that for him, his life as he knows it will be over, for some time any way. He has gotten caught in that spiral that will spin out of control just like it has for other star athletes who have gotten caught having too much fun., or in other words, getting high. While I'm not a fan of getting high, I can understand why people do it. Heck, I've drank a few a...

Las Vegas Marathon 2008 (King for a Day)

mormegil — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 8:30:42 PM -0500

Las Marathon, 2008. Finish Time: 3:45:41, new PR. Place: Overall 593/3525, Division 85, Sex 485. Marathon #5, State #4 of 50. Is been almost 6 week since I ran down the Vegas Strip, dressed as Elvis. When I was looking for a winter marathon, Vegas was one of the first I came across. While I was perusing the races web site, I found that they were looking to brake the world record of the most Elvi to run a marathon. Well I figured if I was going to do Vegas I...

Detroit Marathon, 2008, Best Run ever.

mormegil — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 8:38:10 PM -0500

Detroit Marathon, 2008: Finish Time: 3:46:49. Overall Place: 999 – 3551 I am righting this over a month after the actual race, mostly because I just don't know what to say. It was my best race to date in just about every way. I wanted to write something clever, and give a detail brake down of the entire race, since I have done my best to complain about how all the others went. But the strange thing is, now that I have had a near perfect marathon, I just d...

Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri IPL IS AT BEST A GREAT ADDITION TO THE DULEEP TROPHY! [DULEEP TROPHY WHAT?!?]

pankajspider — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 1:38:33 AM -0500

So the time has come for the IPL to take off. As but expected, the ticket sales are pathetic. Or did you expect anything else? Well, when, for example, was the last time you went to watch an India-South Africa cricket match in a stadium? Looking blank?! There you go!! When was the last time you actually watched a Duleep Trophy match? Did you just exclaim, “Duleep Trophy what?!!?” All I can say is that if you haven’t been watching Duleep Trophy matches, then there is less ...

2008 Detroit Marathon, Seems like I've been here before.

mormegil — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 8:11:26 PM -0400

One year ago, I was writing almost the same blog as I am writing tonight. Tomorrows morning I will be running my Second Detroit Freepress Marathon. This will not only be my second Detroit Marathon, it is my Second Marathon, this month. Two weeks ago I ran the Milwaukee Lakefront marathon, with a finish time of 3:49:56. Tomorrow I will be running with a pace group for the first time, and shooting for another 3:50 marathon. The only thing crazy about this r...

The Third Marathons the Charm.

mormegil — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 7:47:44 PM -0400

Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon 2008. Finish Time: 3:49:56, Pace 26.2 @ 8:46. It took me a few days to decide just what to say about my experience at the 2008 Lakefront Marathon. What I would normally be my primary focus was my Time, which was a full 5 minutes ahead of my original goal of 3:55. This was great, and I am quite pleased. It feels food to be under 4 hours at last. Perhaps more surprising was that setting a new Marathon P.R. was one of the least mem...
