Sports Fanatic

Posted in Collegiate Sports, Just my Thoughts, Professional Sports, Sports, tagged , , , , , , on 15 July 2010 | 6 Comments »

I admit it.  I am a sports fanatic.  The unfortunate truth is I do not necessarily like the average sports that most Americans spend hours watching.  I do like college football and admit to watching a pro game here and there but I could really care less. On the other hand, I will plan my [...]

NCAA Sports

I have written about collegiate sports on many occasions.  This particular occasion comes to you via an ad that the NCAA is running during the current basketball tournament.  I have to write about something having to do with the Madness and my bracket is not the thing as it is dismal after two days of [...]

My First

Posted in Fitness, Just my Thoughts, Sports, tagged , , , on 14 March 2010 | 20 Comments »

Last December I wrote about my first 5K.  Last October about how I had gone from just running for myself to wanting to become a runner.  As you read this, I will be getting to the start line of my first half marathon.  I say first because it is and because I am already registered [...]

Memories!

Posted in Just my Thoughts, Sports, tagged , , , , , , , , , on 22 February 2010 | 4 Comments »

It’s time for a stroll down memory lane.  I took this stroll last night.  I was watching some Olympic coverage on NBC.  I have to admit I try hard to not watch NBC coverage.  I find Canadian coverage much better for actually covering the sports.  NBC is lacking, missing events, doing a lot of human [...]

Go West!

Posted in Just my Thoughts, Sports, tagged , , , , on 9 February 2010 | 10 Comments »

My mind and my eyes have been turned to the Northwest this week.  Once the spectacle that was the Super Bowl was over, my thoughts immediately turned to Vancouver!  You see, I am Winter Olympics fanatic! There are many reason I love the Winter Games.  One goes back to my childhood.  I thought Jean-Claude Killy [...]

Playoff Time in NYS High School Athletics

Posted in Family, Just my Thoughts, School Sports, Sports, tagged , , on 20 November 2009 | 4 Comments »

I have a friend, one that I first met and chatted with online but that I have since met in real life, whose son’s football team was making a run for the NYSPHSAA championship.  I have followed Dad’s posts on Facebook about wins in various  games and it has taken me back.   Tonight, even [...]

Television Bonanza Tonight

Posted in Collegiate Sports, Just my Thoughts, Sports, tagged , , , , , , on 1 October 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I don’t watch a lot of television.  I do listen to a lot of it as I work and have the TV on in the background frequently as “white” noise.  Tonight, though, I am truly torn. First off, I have been, since about midway through the first season, a huge Grey’s Anatomy fan.  I did [...]

Division One Downfall

A few years ago, my now 21 year old daughter was a Division 1 student-athlete.  She was a soccer player.  As an 18 year old freshman, she had to be to university August 10th. Non-athletic freshmen did not have to be to tschool for at least two weeks after.  The fall semester consisted of 16 [...]

Is NBC right for the NHL?

Posted in Just my Thoughts, Professional Sports, Sports, tagged , , , , on 10 June 2009 | 4 Comments »

Yes, I am sure the money is right.  If nothing else is important to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, money is.  The bigger question is “is the television contract with NBC good for recruiting new and more hockey fans?” I would say emphatically NO after the past two days.  First off, this year’s Stanley Cup Championship [...]

Holy Hockey, Batman!

Posted in Collegiate Sports, Just my Thoughts, Sports, tagged , , on 28 March 2009 | 2 Comments »

It has beautiful here in upstate NY this weekend so a lot of my NCAA path to the Frozen Four has been clips at the end of the night.  None the less, as I am watching the first weekend of the NCAA Division 1 Hockey Tournament, I am impressed by the number four seeds in [...]
