Breaking news on ESPN: Only the third time he has retired. There are a few weeks for him to change his mind. But for now, it’s a great day. Packers. Super Bowl. Win. Done. There will be a Packer fan parade through Edina, MN tonight. Come join me. And just because I can’t [...] Update: Here’s the really small pool I was talking about. We all pretty much had the same ideas. I’m sure we’ll all be equally as wrong by the end of the weekend… ——————— The British Open kicks off tomorrow. I’m in a small little pool with a handful of people. We have to [...]  Disclaimer: This is someone else’s awful Photoshop job, not mine. We haven’t seen this big of a circle jerk by an athlete ever since Favre gave us the run around two years ago, last year, this year. I bet Brett is happy LeBron is settling this whole matter tonight so that he can [...]  Just got back from the Caponiti wedding in DC. It was a great time, and an even greater wedding. Everything was really well done, from the ceremony to the reception to the dance party later. And as the nun of the church reminded us before the wedding started, Christ was present (we were all [...] This weekend brings us full circle from the Morton-Caponiti engagement announcement on this blog last year. I’m headed off to DC for the weekend for the wedding. The ceremony starts simultaneously with the USA-Ghana World Cup game. It will be tough to miss the game, but thank goodness for an iPhone to check the [...] 
It’ll never end. Quite literally, the buzzword of the last few weeks has been vuvuzela. I know a handful of friends that have even bought them, for some ridiculous reason (Uncle Trey won’t know what hit him this weekend). They are turning up at baseball games in the States, and I even saw [...] 
Yesterday was some awesome soccer. Mostly because it involved a team of fake fans, fake players, and a terrible dictator getting thoroughly embarrassed, live — AND SOME ACTUAL SCORING!!! Portugal beat North Korea 7-0, a score that Americans can finally relate to. With the World Cup scoring down in the first round, I [...]  In case you haven’t noticed yet, World Cup fever has come to The Wahl. Games start tomorrow, and ESPN claims to be showing every game of the entire World Cup live — which will be amazingly awesome. Skor, of golfing fame (we need to calculate our handicaps for a fair fight, fyi), was nice [...] Yet another reason why Philly sucks: Philly phans are desperate to cling to whatever little pieces of sporting glory they have. And the Florida Marlins Front Office is genius for trying to capitalize on these poor souls. They are selling tickets to a game that has already happen. You can now buy [...]  The 2010 running of the Boston Marathon took place yesterday. And I’m proud to say that a couple of regular Great Wahl celebrities ran really well. They aren’t Ethiopian or Kenyan, so they didn’t win. But Tony and Julia definitely held their own: As a frame of reference, Cheruiyot is the overall male [...] |
