On the Pitch with an American Novice: Lessons Learned from Euro ‘08 »

Congratulations to Spain, who defeated Germany 1-0 to win the UEFA 2008 European Championship. I probably watched half of the games and gained a lot of knowledge on players and some new clubs to follow come August and September. Though I’m tagged as a novice, I would like to point out that I did predict [...]

Performance of the Week (POTW) 6/22-6/29 »

I’m giving Wally the lead on this one:
Anyway, this comment will also serve as my nomination for POTW. How about those Fresno State Bulldogs, the new NCAA baseball champion?!?!? What a cinderella story … their run to the NCAA title is nothing less than miraculous … possibly the most unlikely victory march in our memory. [...]

Saturday is in the cards (6/28) »

In response to last week’s SINTC post Brother Reynell mentioned the infamous Billy Ripken card.

Got me thinking about cards of the past. While these cards didn’t create a stir as great as the four letter word scrawled on the knob of Ripken’s bat (wonder how Holden Caufield reacted to Ripken’s card), they could not [...]

On the Pitch with an American Novice: Euro 2008 Quarter-finals »

World Cup ‘06 was an epiphany for Brother Reynell. After years of looking upon soccer as a bunch of guys kicking a ball around, Reynell came to realize the subtle intricacies of futbol. Join him as he continues his journey into the light of the game on the pitch.
If you’ve been watching the European 2008 [...]

Performance of the Week (POTW) 6/16-6/22 »

Another great week with plenty of performances to choose from. I am going with Ray Allen who dropped 26 including 7 trifectas in game 6 of the NBA finals as the Celtics brought home their 17th title. And he slowed down that guy from LA – what was his name?
Who gets your POTW?

Saturday is all in the cards »

Thought I’d try something a little different. Since I know many Clipboard followers have enjoyed opening those wax packets of cardboard with the pictures of our heroes, thought I’d display a few. This marvel known as the internet allows us to capture these same images that we had to go to the corner [...]
