Online Petition to Ask ESPN to Broadcast Rugby

Thanks to Chris in Milwaukee and Jenna in New York for sending this to me. I already signed it and forwarded it on to my teams. Pass it on …
Cheers-A petition was created that will be sent to both the ESPN and Fox Sports Programming Department to lobby for rugby coverage on ESPN’s basic [...]

"I’m not ready to make nice, I’m not ready to back down, I’m still mad as hell and I don’t have time to go round and round and round …"

I’m listening to the new Dixie Chicks song, “Not Ready to Make Nice“, and I really like it.
I’m not a super political person, I have my own politics and I keep them separate from everyone else’s. And I encourage others to treat me in the same manner. Nothing up in your face.
But I [...]

Slow rugby news day …

Not much happenin’ out there …
• There was speculation of Eagle mens’ players striking, but nope. Oeler’s blogging about it here.
• And Rachel in NYC changed her blog name to Brooklyn Bubble. Update your links!
• Interesting update on the West Women’s All-Star team. Turns out (and sorry I didn’t notice …) that the Austin [...]

Ahhh … Wednesday!

I’m going back to work today. Yesterday’s day of rest was very good for me, but my decision to check out the social last night with our men’s team and the visiting Welsh men’s team was probably a poor choice. A fun and adventurous choice, but poor nonetheless.
At one point, I had 60 [...]

But I woke up this morning and am still sick, so I’m staying home from work and just blogging a [...]

Friday Morning … And An Open Thread

Because of this, I’d like to use this post as an open thread in the comments today and for the weekend. What do all of [...]

I knew it …

Another reason why I am so smart …

The Need for a Business Plan and Taking Sides

Two interesting posts over at Gainline this week …
The most recent is a post with USA Rugby treasurer Tom Schmitt, who I know as a fellow rugby player, coach and administrator from here in Wisconsin. Kurt Oeler interviewed Tom on USA Rugby’s financial situation and the post also notes that Tom called out Kurt [...]

Sudafed-Induced Meanderings …

Yup, I am still sick.
And as I wrote someone earlier this morning, I am not sick enough that I couldn’t be at work, but am sick enough that I’m sitting in a daze wishing I was home watching the Price is Right instead.
These are the most annoying types of colds, aren’t they? I [...]
