Monday, October 18th, 2010In sports 6 months can be a lifetime. The events that happen in half a year can erase past memories, or reinforce them. It can make even avid fans forgive a team, or forget the worst offenses of any player. It would seem that for Binghamton University, the same kind of effect has been hoped [...]
Bullfighting with no limits
Thursday, August 19th, 2010If you have not heard about it, there was a bullfight in Spain recently that was very different. Caught on video, in this bull fight the bull decided to defy the rules and the limitations of the ring. Honestly, you have to feel good for the bull. [Warning - the following video is graphic.

World Cup Final: Spain vs Netherlands
Monday, July 12th, 2010I love it when a prediction comes true. For those that read my half-time comments, you will note that I got the score, the number of players, and the order in which it would all happen correct. The only thing I failed to predict was that it would happen in overtime. The thing that really [...]

They started strong and are now down by 1, after a goal with literally seconds to spar before the half. #11 Sulley Muntari, [...]
World Cup: Quarterfinals – Brazil vs Netherlands – final
Friday, July 2nd, 2010There are upsets in sports, but this is crazy. Brazil, beaten, by Netherlands. It’s only happen once before, in 1974. Not exactly lightning striking twice, but it felt like it. The shock of the match can be summed up in the fact that the better team entering the field at the start of the 2nd [...]
World Cup: Quarterfinals – Brazil vs Netherlands – half
Friday, July 2nd, 2010Sometimes you can just count on Brazil to be Brazil. This match is no different in that regard. Even though the possession of the ball has been about even, you know that Brazil is dominating. Not because they are looking spectacular, but because in all but maybe 3 times that Netherlands had possession of the [...]
