So, when I woke up this morning and saw that Syracuse University’s basketball coach and assistant coach seem to have the same issues that we just heard about with Penn State’s Paterno and company, I felt this gnawing feeling in the back of my mind. Then I started to think about the internal workings of the Catholic Church, which allowed (and still allow, in my humble opinion) the institution of a pedophile’s version of Girls Gone Wild. Then I put ...read more I love this movie. I’m going to go see it again, and then maybe one more time. It’s a chick flick with no romantic interest. Go figure. That alone makes it unique. It’s the story of David and Goliath, only they are baseball teams. It’s the story of a broken family. It’s a story of dreams unfulfilled. It’s a story about working together. It’s a story about believing you are right when there is no precedent for your ideas. So ...read more I loved football in college. I went to the University of Nebraska; there was no choice. You would be expelled if you didn’t love football. But to be honest, I stopped following it in the early eighties when it came to my attention that domestic violence calls escalate substantially during the games, peaking during the Super Bowl. Some are challenging that notion now, but in the mid-eighties, it was widely believed. Our company does a lot of work with the Super ...read more Today at 6:45 p.m. EST, the Breeder’s Cup will be run at Churchill Downs in Kentucky. Zenyatta will run in this race; the only mare in a sea of testosterone-filled male racehorses, and she is bigger physically than all of them. This will be her twentieth race , and she has won all nineteen of the races she ran prior to this one. This is also her last race. Normally I would write about her tomorrow after her history is ...read more So after all the hype (not that I’m challenging her injury at all) about the bruise, Ms. Lindsey won her first gold at the Olympics yesterday. Good for you Lindsey. You go girl. Now, let’s talk. Here are the facts. She announced long before the race (days) that she might not be able to compete. She refused to get an x-ray to see if her leg was fractured. She said it was because she didn’t really want to know. We heard daily for one ...read more Last night I went to my first hockey game. I didn’t really want to go, but someone I work with who can tell me I have to do things sort of roped me in. I found myself grudgingly at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and LA Live (fabulous place!!!!) for dinner and then the game. I’d like to introduce the new me. My name is Christine, and I love hockey. I mean I love hockey. I thought it would be violent ...read more Who knew there was an Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs? I love the Olympics. I do. I love the competition, learning about the athletes from all over the world. I love women’s figure skating and the memories of watching it with my now grown up daughter. I was watching the Biggest Loser last night. Don’t laugh. It’s a great show. Really great. Anyway, they went to the training center in Colorado to train with the Olympians. But I was sad. ...read more What follows the Super Bowl? How does TV help you off the football adrenaline rush of the biggest game of the year? Lassie? Who would have thought? Weren’t little kids like me asleep by then? Did the guys watching the bowl stay tuned for Timmy and Lassie? Interesting. In 1969, it was the GE College Bowl. In the 70′s it was sometimes 60 Minutes. Then it heads downhill. I am embarrassed by this last decade of strong shows that followed the Super ...read more This is that weekend that comes every year when that football game that everyone watches comes on TV. The best part is that the movie theaters are empty and if you want to drive somewhere, it’s the perfect day to worry not about traffic. The Super Bowl is the most widely viewed television show during the year. I have to be honest. I don’t get it. Granted, last year’s half time performance by The Boss was spectacular, but you can turn ...read more |
