Strangely, this post is exactly the same as September 2 of last year. I will be doing a FanDuel league, if I can get enough people to join. This year they have made it easier, and we have “A League of Our Own”, which you can join right here: https://www.fanduel.com/leagues/9683/invites/b38588a16382bc389fb196f23f32539ee89b6c67?cnl=la If you haven’t signed up …
It’s expensive to go to a game, especially in New York. You overpay for the tickets. You either stay cheap and cram yourself into a subway car or overpay for parking. You overpay for food. You overpay for drinks. And then you have Atlanta, with the Falcons and soon to be United FC. They dropped …
This past Sunday was the fifth edition of the Hudson River Derby between New York City FC against the Red Bulls, with the Red Bulls having won the first four matches, the most recent of which by a score of 7-0. July 4th Weekend was the setting, and American Flag Maps was the order of …
2016 will feature the summer of soccer. Consider for a second this tweet from US Women’s National Team Star Alex Morgan I think I'm in love. pic.twitter.com/W05VQfHQ7E — Alex Morgan (@alexmorgan13) May 31, 2016 *Note that the Olympic Games on this schedule are only the Women’s teams, not the Men’s. Three tournaments are going to …
When you go to a sporting event in the United States, you generally have flags for America adorning the stadium/arenas, and their is usually also a Canadian flag positioned somewhere. No, we aren’t in Canada, but the leagues work closely with Canada, with teams located there in MLB, NHL, NBA and MLS. And when a …
There are times when all Americans come together as one, and root for #TeamUSA. And that time is now 100 days away, as the Rio Olympics draws nearer. Berlin, 1936 – Jesse Owens destroys the Nazis Mexico City, 1968 – Black Power Muncih, 1972 – 7 Gold Medals for Mark Spitz Lake Placid, 1980 – Miracle …
Let’s check in on two of the teams I follow, and see which one I’m prouder for. We’ll call them “Team A” and “Team B” for now. Team A: Finished the 2015 Season 1st in Division and 1st in the League Team B: Finished the 2015 Season 1st in Division and 6th in the League …
This past Sunday I went to the 2016 Home Opener for NYCFC at Yankee Stadium. The weather for the opener last year called for hand warmers, this time no jacket was needed when the game began. With 30,000+ people in the house, the place was rocking, and the New Yorker brashness was showing from the …
We are now 200 days away from the 2016 Olympics in Rio, Brazil. I’m a big sports fan, and almost no sports are off limits, but there is something always special about the Olympics (more so with the winter games than the summer games) that just brings Americans close together to all root for the …
Pete Rose was denied reinstatement by Major League Baseball last week…and they are 100% correct. Pete Rose erred back in the 1980s and a lot of times since, lied about it, finally came clean, yet still does the actions (which are not illegal) and hasn’t fully atoned for his sins. Because of all that Pete …
