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 [...]
I was going to write about the WPS’ Sol Dispersal Draft (Boxxy went first, and Marta moved up the coast) and especially how the Breakers fared … but I had a comment by a guy named Noah on my post about Obama at the Georgetown-Duke game … and just felt like I wanted to focus [...]
Well, this Monday the leaves are bursting out of clenched buds and the silohuettes of the trees are taking on that lacy, early-spring look. The new greens are woven in with reds, still – and the tulips are coming into their own as the daffodils fade … and birds are trilling and mating as their [...]
Wow – what a race! I’ve watched the video twice and still can’t quite track how it happened. Red Sox, Phillies and Celtics all won their respective games yesterday … and the Breakers came back after a disappointing and lackluster performance against the Red Stars to beat Marta and her LA Sol at Hahvard!
And what [...]

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 [...]
I’ve been remiss in not posting this picture of HollyCornblog’s Hop Trellis circa April 2009!
As you can see, she’s done an awful lot of work (backbreaking work, I might add) to give these hops a fighting chance at thriving.
I for one am quite interested to see how hops do under the Obama administration. If you’ll [...]

First — I watched a snippet of Maddow this morning (it was DVR’d — so not sure what night’s show it actually was) in which she interviewed Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson about Cheney, et al. He’s the former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell. One of the most interesting (to me) points he made with Maddow [...]

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 [...]
Yup, after all was said and done for week 4 on the WPS, who should top the power rankings but our own Breakers. Rightly so, I’d add, IMVVHO! Next up for the Breakers, the hungry Chicago Red Stars, who played Sky Blue to a 0-0 draw in the televised game yesterday. The LA Sol beat [...]

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 [...]
First off, our friend Alice (who suffers good-humoredly my unrelenting pressure to become a JordanCornblog contributor) is off to tour Florence today. Happy travels, Alice!
Happily, she will not have to leave before the USWNT faces Iceland in their second game at the Algarve. She (and the rest of us) will be able to follow it [...]

This morning it is NOT snowing – but there’s still plenty of digging out to do here in NH. It’s nice, light, fluffy snow – the kind where the rewards of shoveling far outweigh the costs. (Only challenge is finding some place to PUT the stuff – the mounds are so high.)
I find myself thinking [...]
Whoo hoo! I got up early enough to do a little working out before hitting the computer – and all looks brighter. Amazing what a little circulating blood can do, eh? I am raring to go now …
But first, a few snippets of news as the sun begins to color the eastern horizon …
Here is [...]
I’m loving the warmer temps here in NH, as the sun rises on this February Sunday!
Have you heard of Jennifer Figge? She just completed the amazing feat of swimming from the Cape Verde Islands to Trinidad … at the age of 56. (And I can’t even get myself to exercise for 15 minutes these days!) [...]

First off, is Andrew Card crazy? He’s tweaked about Obama disrespecting the office of the Presidency. Why? Because Obama changed the dress code at the White House. Good grief. Is that what Andrew Card really thinks? Is he a grown-up? (And I loved the comments on this piece … especially the one about how the [...]
There’s quite a bit on the soccer news front, as you may have guessed from the headline this morning. The WPS has held its combines on the East and West coasts, and is gearing up for its draft on Friday, January 16th. (That’s this Friday, folks!) Here’s some nice video from the West Coast combine [...]

In women’s soccer news, there’s the fact that the USWNT posted its final win of 2008 last night, downing China 1-0 in Detroit on the strength of a Heather O’Reilly goal. Pia’s team finishes out the year with a record-setting record: 33-1-2. And maybe the even better news is that there were more than 11,000 [...]
