Today I was sad to see a Google Alert re. the Breakers indicating that Jen Nobis is out for the season (torn ACL). Sounds like she had been working her butt off in the off-season, which makes this all the sadder. She had 2 goals in 11 games for a generally lackluster Breakers’ offense … [...]
Okay so I do, I really do want to be rooting for Obama — but what’s with this latest appointment? GE’s defender on environmental issues, Ignacia Moreno, has been hired to do the legal stuff for EPA? How did Obama explained this decision, I’m wondering. It kind of gives me a weird feeling in my stomach. [...]
If you’ve been paying any attention to JordanCornblog’s track record on sports predictions, you’ll know that it’s pretty much best to ignore anything that I say. (This is, by the way, very freeing in some ways.)
So here are my week 6 WPS predictions … and for more informed previews, check out Christa Mann’s Week 6 [...]
Amazing game last night as the Louisville Cardinels took it to Oklahoma and are moving on to the national championship game. Angel McCoughtry came back after a dismal first half and scored 14 of her 18 points in the second frame as she helped her team put away the Sooners. Now they have the dubious [...]
Okay, of that group, which one(s) would you put your money on?
Citi had a good day and the market bounced … meanwhile, Newsweek has put out a great piece outlining the warring amongst the rich – a greed-fed battle they dub “the war between the estates.”
In the past two years, since the market peaked, investors [...]
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 [...]

Wow – it’s been a busy first part of the day, between working on the snow … and recovering from an afternoon/evening of beer-tasting, chiminea-watching, and hanging out. Paula LR and HollyCornblog discussed the finer points of ffootball … and we marveled at the intricacies of the game. We all reminisced about growing up years, [...]
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 [...]
It feels like Alaska here in NH this morning — and so my thoughts turn naturally to Sarah Palin. She is a busy gal, you betcha.
Everyone’s read, if they follow her at all, about how she is blaming the press for the public’s perceptions of her … and stepping up to protect her family from [...]
How refreshing to write a headline focused on the letter P and not have Sarah Palin come to mind (except as an after thought, just now — like a toothache remembered).
So these are heady, miraculous times. The Hudson River miracle jet has been fished out of the water and Obama is in DC and will [...]

Sorry ’bout that. I’m running late and still have to scrape the ice off the car!
How have you been doing on your New Year’s Resolutions? (Nasty question, eh? A real conversation stopper.)
I’ve been doing semi-quasi. Have gotten on the stationery bike the past couple of nights, and am beginning to see the possibility of developing [...]
Today’s the day that the Philadelphia Eagles take their next step toward their first Superbowl win!
How’s them apples? Cocky, eh? Well, as I see it the Eagles are poised to join the Phillies with a championship … and Philly is poised to join Boston as a recent multi-championship town. Won’t that be something, the Biddles [...]
Good January Morning! It is bitter, bitter cold here as dawn etches the horizon’s edge with wan light. Here’s a sunset photo shared by HollyCornblog yesterday … the sunset light hitting the hulking wreck off the Cape May, NJ shoreline. (It makes me think of the cold, dark havoc and destruction wrought by the Bush [...]
My goodness gracious … America’s team lost to the Baltimore Ravens last night … giving the Eagles a slightly larger sliver of hope for making the play-off’s (as they meet the Redskins at 4:15). Derrick Mason played a heckuva game (why do I want to say “Brownie” all of a sudden?). He was pretty much [...]
The USWNT plays China in snowy Detroit today (while the UAW and the rest of us wait for news of the auto industry bailout … and snow falls in Michigan, and here in NH .. and presumably pretty much everywhere in between)! After what Pia did with this team in the Olympics … Obama might [...]
First and foremost – HAPPY 21st, RPE! Here’s to savoring your day … and you!
And what a day yesterday in the NFL! While I was focusing on a birthday, it felt like Christmas arrived early on the football front, what with the Eagles beating the Giants, the ‘boys falling, the Pats winning, and the Redskins [...]
