Tom & I were in the car yesterday when we heard this for the first time. It’s a song that Eddie Vedder (the lead singer of Pearl Jam) wrote about the Cubs at Ernie Banks’ request. Someone put together a little slideshow of photos and posted it up to YouTube. Check it out, even if [...]

Wedding photos and a phenomenal relay race
In case you missed Phelps and the US team winning the gold in the 4×100 freestyle race, you can watch it on NBC’s Olympics site. It’s the most exciting swimming relay I’ve ever seen. (By the way, the nbcolympics.com site has a lot of great high definition videos in case you’ve missed some great competitions.
Also, [...]
The most interesting Nascar proposition ever (to me)
My racer, Ryan Newman, has been been released from his ride at the end of the year this year, so he’s looking for a new team. The most likely choice? Going to Tony Stewart’s new team at Stewart-Haas Racing. What does this mean? That Mama Z’s driver and mine would be teammates (instead of each [...]
Suck it, Favre
I can’t believe that the Packers had the stones to tell Favre that sure, he can rejoin the team, only as the backup quarterback.
There’s a short article on Yahoo Sports which talks about this issue. The second to last paragraph had me totally cracking up.
It’s a sports-themed weekend
To kick it off, I played cricket on Friday afternoon with people from work. It’s kind of like baseball, but different. You hit with a paddle. I took pictures, you can see them here.
Then, the Cubs got spanked by the Sox on Friday. Bummer. At least Saturday’s game was closer - if they didn’t leave [...]
Note to MLB
I just read this article about Major League Baseball trying to limit how people can cover their games in blogs: there are time limits for photos, and other strange limitations.Â
When will companies/organizations learn that it’s better to have people talking about you, because any coverage is good coverage? If what I say makes someone else [...]
Newman takes Daytona
My boy did it!! And I wasn’t home to see it! I play guitar at mass with Erin once a month, and it usually falls on an important sports day (the last day of NFL playoffs, Bears 3:00 games, etc.). This month was no different - I had to miss Daytona. I heard the first [...]
Superbowl thoughts
Ok, the Justin Timberlake Pepsi commercial was kind of funny. I haven’t been really impressed by anything else. Ok wait, the Doritos mouse ad was good too.
Now onto the game - it was probably the best Superbowl I’ve seen in my lifetime. I didn’t think there was any way the Giants were going to pull [...]
When will they learn?
I swear, the next Bears quarterback who throws a hail mary should be beaten with a pole with a chain with a spike on the end of it. It hasn’t worked this season. The game was on the line, and it was not 4th down. Cut the crap, boys.
