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 [...]
No Phillies game last night – and the Red Sox got pounded. Love the Sox, but Josh Beckett? Not so much. If games like last night taught him some humility, I’d come around. But most likely, it’ll just sharpen his already nasty, cocky edge. You’re a dink … and thinking about you is just getting [...]
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.

Call it change. Call it luck. Call it redemption. Call it bravery. Call it what you will – it’s gold and it’s real and it stays! The USWNT defeated Brazil 1-0 yesterday in extra time after putting on a gritty performance on the pitch on a wet, humid, Beijing night. Pia Sundhage and her 18 [...]

What a thing to wake up to on a beautiful Sunday morning – an article about Greg Ryan at Michigan. Ugh. He’s throwing everyone under the bus – Hope Solo, Mia Hamm, the former Michigan coach. (His mother seems to be safe for the moment at least.) I continue to be mightily unimpressed with him [...]
Here’s a nice interview with Abby that appeared @ ten days ago in USA Today. Buzz cut, huh? Can’t remember seeing that – but here’s a goal celebration from back in those wonderful WUSA daze … when Mia and Abby first started playing together … and Abby did so well that April could not NOT [...]
March is arriving like a lion here in NH, with maybe as much as another foot of snow in these parts when all is said and done. One thing that means is that the NHIAA Girls’ Class M Basketball Final between Campbell and Conant has been postponed and will be played at 7:30PM up at [...]
It’s an odd feeling, realizing that nearly everyone in the country wanted the Pats to lose … a feeling that must be pretty familiar to Yankees fans. Also an odd feeling, waking up and realizing that I didn’t dream it … my sister really WAS rooting for the Giants. An Eagles fan since birth … [...]
