Well, there is big news on the WPS front with the firing of Ian Sawyers as the FC sky blue coach. Should be interesting to watch Sunday’s game as FC sky blue versus the Breakers is the match being televised on Fox soccer Channel at 6 PM.
I think I remember that Mr. Sawyers has had [...]
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. [...]
Yup – it’s a busy day in Canterbury, with lots of computer work on tap, as well as some growing grass to catch up with, a bike to get to the bike shop, maybe even a little bit of exercise (other than mowing) and reading to squeeze in along the way. (Hah!)
Here’s the WPS preview [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
It’s Breakers Game Day. Freezing, and quite possibly wet — but hey, we’re hardy folk right?
Before embarking on this new chapter in Breakers’ history — a pause to remember good times past. Maren? Dagney? We miss you!
No sound with this video — but that kinda makes it all the more resonant, doesn’t it? Love the [...]
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 [...]
The Chicago Red Stars beat the St. Louis Athletica in front of @5,000 fans at their season opener. Lindsay Tarpley tallied the goal in the 78th minute for the Red Stars in this defensive battle.
Much as I hate the MatchTracker feature for the USWNT (only because I hate it that so few of their games [...]
Man oh man oh man — here’s Glenn Beck making fun of Obama’s Aunt — and a bunch of other people, too. This is why I’ve been staying away from the news in favor of b-ball and soccer. What a hateful, useless tool!
Isn’t this the dude who was recently weeping about how much he loves [...]
The Men’s bracket is up and some folks (you know who you are) have already made their picks. The women’s bracket will be finalized this evening. Then we have a couple of days to get everything set before the games are off and running. I’m using the NYTimes Brackets this year – we’ll see how [...]
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 [...]
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’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!) [...]

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 [...]
