I just sent out my initial March Madness e-mail … as the excitement builds.  We had some blog readers participate last year … so be sure to be in touch if you’re interested again and I haven’t contacted you!
I am mulling my post about anger … need to set aside some time for [...]

Sad news (I was too obsessed with John and Liz to pick this up when it first came out) .. the LA Sol have folded.  You probably heard it from Boltgirl first! (I heard via an e-mail at work from a friend.)
At first I was horrified on hearing it — PTSD from old WUSA days.  [...]

If you go to the site of any WPS team these days you’re likely to see a counter displaying the days, hours, and minutes before opening day. We’re something like three months away, with a bit of March Madness in between, but with the days getting longer, you can definitely feel the soccer in the [...]

Yahoo … RPE is home!

Kudos to Obama on an excellent (and politically astute) choice.

I do not like Giant Forest Hogs (think Rush Limbaugh).
Nor do I like the Black Mamba Snake (think … hmmm … Mitt Romney?)
RPE will have to tell the tale(s).

I DO like Safari Lager … will have to see if HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew [...]

That’s not a typo – but I’m morose as well, after Rebecca Moros scored for the Freedom against the Breakers, and all the blue team could come up with was a tie in yesterday’s match.  I am sure that they wanted to pull off the win against the Abby-less Freedom … and with Maren Meinert [...]

With lots of the WPS internationals overseas for friendlies, this should be an interesting stretch for the WPS.  Here’s a quick preview from Melissa … and note, the Breakers-Red Stars game will be available for on-line viewing.  Cool!  8:30 PM ET …
The English nationals are tearing up the pitch, defeating Norway 3-0 in [...]

In what sounded like a wild and woolly second half, Christine Latham and Kristin Luckinbill were major contributors in a nifty 3-1 win for the Boston Breakers.
The Breakers scored first, on a PK by Kelly Smith in the 54th minute after Scurry fouled Hucles in the box.  Lori Lindsey equalized soon after, and Abby had [...]

… but that didn’t dampen the spirits of the nearly 5,000 Breakers fans who trooped to Cambridge to see their Boston Blues defeat the St. Louis Athletica 2-0 in their home opener at Harvard Stadium.  Here are the Week 3 WPS Power Rankings by Jo-Ryan Salazar. (I’ll track these through the season on my WPS [...]

That’s how Michael Steele has described the Republican Party. I agree that muck is a great way to describe a medium comprised of the detritus of right wing preachers, radio hacks, and turdblossoms.  But it doesn’t seem wise for a party that is struggling mightily to find its identity, should choose as its cheerleader-in-chief, someone [...]

Check out MatchTracker starting at 7AM ET to follow the USWNT’s opening game of the Algarve Cup.  They start off against Denmark, in a match-up that could prove one of their more difficult of the tournament.

“It’s not a World Cup year or an Olympic year, so we can try different things and one thing we [...]

Spoken like a true Phillies phan, I know. 
There’s lots of news this morning on the Boston Breakers front, starting with the fact that an agreement has been reached between the Boston Aztecs and the Boston Breakers. Under the agreement the Aztecs will become the reserve team of the Breakers. Seems like a positive [...]

Phew – I feel like it’s been a long time since I sat down with some good strong coffee and just caught up here.
There’s lots of news in the soccer world as the WPS season kick-off is just weeks away!  March 29th, to be exact.  (I should probably think about taking a day or two [...]

I just read (via Google Alert) that Kelly Smith has signed a 4-year deal with the Boston Breakers!
