As the rain pelts and the wind howls outside, I’m on my second cup of coffee, contemplating a blank screen and toying with the idea of writing something really silly.
JordanCornblog has been feeling rather rudderless of late. (Talking about the blog here, not the actual person.) Being “ruddered” was never what I’d call a strong [...]
Here are some Tweets from that a BigSoccer poster compiled and shared … hopeful signs for the upcoming Breakers schedule (IMHO):
2010 Breakers schedule preview: expect two Boston area visits by Marta again this year, only with Gold Pride this time around.
2010 Breakers schedule preview: expect us to experiment with a couple (likely two) Friday night [...]
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. [...]
I came upon this interesting post on The Time Finder this morning – a compendium of web-based time management and organizational tools that looked very cool. (As an aside, I “lost” about 45 minutes noodling around amongst the neat features and awesome gee gaws … but that’s par for the course when it comes to [...]

According to BigSoccer (thanks Dandal and the Swedish press) Pia will be with the USWNT through the 2012 Olympics. That is wonderful news! Here’s a thread about Pia’s performance … note how the comments “evolve” as the USWNT moves deeper and deeper into the tourney!
Also on BigSoccer, an interesting thread about Carli Lloyd. Who knew [...]
First (from The Writer’s Almanac), a wonderful poem by Marge Piercy to start your day with something introspective – before diving into the usual sports-centric deluge! This poem runs along the thought-path I was pursuing last night just before sleep. Guess it may be time to get reacquainted with myself … as soon as the [...]
Yes, Brett Favre is going to compete for his old job … and in this excellent commentary by Tom Curran, I find a good summary of the whole danged episode. I was too tired of Brett’s familiar ambivalence to pay a lot attention to the furor. Now I am caught up … and just in [...]
Here’s Cindy McCain speaking about “the only way to get around in Arizona.” (This is way too easy … I think I’m starting to feel a tad mean-spirited and guilty.) I’ll get over it, though.
Mark Zeigler writes from San Diego about tonight’s USWNT vs. Brazil match-up … the second this week. On Sunday the USWNT [...]

Here’s the info. from the Feds, along with the post-game quote sheet. And here’s a nice summation by Pia on the style of play … gotta love it!
I think they have done great because it is such a short amount of time. I’ve been here for eight months or something like that and it usually [...]
Yes, it’s true. According to this US News and World Report article, the Prez apparently feels he is having a good final year. In fact, in a very positive development for the Bush camp, aides say that he is feeling ‘less antipathy’ from his constituents, as he travels around the country. (Note-to-Self: Set the bar [...]

The Phillies and Chase Utley pulled out of their slump last night with a 4-0 win over the Oakland A’s. Kyle Kendrick pitched 8 strong innings and Utley went 4 for 5 after a long drought. Let’s hope the Phillies continue their winning ways now.
In the soccer world, US Soccer has posted an excellent interview [...]

Okay – it’s up! Here’s the 18-woman USWNT Roster for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. No big surprises, as far as I can tell. Aly Wagner played herself back into the mix after a long, injury-ridden hiatus – and it would be awesome to see her fulfill her potential on the Olympic stage this usmmer. [...]
Unfortunately, USSF is not exactly being forthcoming on news of the USWNT vs. Brazil game. What I’ve been able to cobble together is that the USWNT won 1-0. The goal was scored by A-Rod. Abby played an awesome game … as did Boxx (based on some of the comments I read on BigSoccer). It sounds [...]

Wow – lots of hits on JordanCornblog today! Seems like folks are having a hard time getting back into the swing of things at work, huh? Well, it’s a beautiful Monday and I’m indoors noodling around with Microsoft Frontpage … and looking out at the gorgeous new spring-green leaves.
I’m adding another link to the soccer [...]

Stanford and Tennessee players wake up this morning to the prospect of one, final game of hoops down in Tampa! Ace and Ice have a lot riding on their shoulders, and a lot of history and respect between them. Meanwhile LSU and UConn head home … to rebuild and regroup!
On the soccer front, fans can [...]
