Wanna Bet?

Posted on 08 January 2013

  Even the most casual sports fan has an opinion on the “big game,” whatever that game happens to be.  Last night, that “big game” happened to be the BCS Championship game, and it came as no surprise to me that Alabama handily beat Notre Dame to win the BCS title game for the second [...]

Black Ice is Best and We May Have Some Soon

Posted on 27 December 2012

  January approaches without safe ice as yet, but chances are that a winter as mild as the last won’t happen. Typically we get about two months of ice thickening to at least a foot, sometimes twice this in northern, high elevations of the New Jersey. In 2008, we had no more than two weeks [...]

The Week that Wrestling Got Rocked

Posted on 15 October 2012

  This week has seen quite a buzz in the world of professional wrestling.  And it has certainly gotten fans of sports-entertainment, in the words of The Rock, “electrified.”   This past episode of Monday Night Raw on October 8, 2012 saw a (nowadays) rare appearance by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, better known to WWE [...]

The Allure of the Squared Circle: My Fascination with Professional Wrestling

Posted on 30 August 2012

  I have been a fan of professional wrestling since I was four years old.  I am 20 years old now.  For the sixteen years that I have been a fan, people either look at me weird or they are excited to know that I am a fellow fan.  It’s either one extreme or the [...]

Going to the Super Bowl

Posted on 18 June 2012

  2012 began as did most years during the course of my life – with hopes that the new year would be a better year than its predecessor. 2011, as had been the case with most of the years in the new millennium, was not a particularly good year for me. And so, it should [...]

Who is the World’s Toughest Mudder?

Posted on 22 March 2012

  The 2011 World’s Toughest Mudder competition, held December 17th-18th, was the culmination of all the Tough Mudder events thus far. I can’t even describe how it feels to be a part of this inaugural event but I will give it my best shot.   This race didn’t start over the weekend, it really began back [...]

The Kid from Baldwin

Posted on 12 February 2012

With each new day that dawns, we awake to some fresh new hell a la the economy, a corrupt and uncaring government, and the latest antics of celebrities whose behavior crosses the line into the criminal and who, due to their fame, get away with all manner of crimes and misdemeanors.   All of this [...]

It’s a Safe Bet

Posted on 28 December 2011

Every year, before the first autumn leaf had fallen, my husband would return home from the office with his list of “football picks” for that season.  Known solely by him and a handful of co-workers, my hubbie and his buds would select the teams they projected to win, and by how many points (“spreads”).  The [...]

Going the Extra Mile…Or, Twenty

Posted on 12 November 2011

To some people, going for a jog seems like torture or punishment.  Many average Joes unconsciously think this because when they were younger they were forced to run never-ending sprints across fields or courts for underperforming during a game or practice.  It has a negative connotation. Then there are those who head out to pound [...]
