Not a bad way to come back into the rotation. It took Big Z 110 pitches (73 of them strikes) to mow down the streaking Astros. Coming into the game today the Astros had won 14 of their last 15. The game was transferred from Houston to Milwaukee due to Hurricane Ike. Apparently the change [...]

Here is a recap of the action in Week 2. East Florida beats Miami 26-3. This is not an ACC post, but props to the Hurricanes, it was closer than the score suggests and they will be a powerhouse again soon. Florida is off this week. Georgia cruises to a victory over Central Michigan. The [...]

In the wake of Tom Brady’s season ending knee surgery, anti-Tom Brady sentiment is at an all time high. George Lampman has created a tshirt for the “Bernard Pollard Fan Club”. Pollard is the Chiefs safety whose hit injured Brady’s knee. Some people are outraged by the thoughtless attempt to cash in on Brady’s injury, [...]

ESPN, welcome to the mobile era. I logged into my fantasy football teams today to find a link to get updates on my mobile device (inn my case an iPhone).

Fernando Torres knocked home the 1 goal that was needed to win Spain’s first major Championship since 1964, when it won the European Championship on it’s own soil. Since I have been in the Czech Republic this whole tournament, I’ve been able to watch most of the games on a huge screen in a public [...]
