Yesterday I signed up for the Amsterdam marathon. 26 miles. Yikes. Well I know I can do it actually. Not that I ever have done it or even come that close (closest was a half marathon) but I’m running regularly, i’m consistently improving and and I have until September to be ready which more than enough time. Looking forward to it; watch out Amsterdam!
In Europe (actually anywhere outside North America) the NFL offers a package called Game Pass. Game Pass allows you to watch all games live and streaming in HD quality broadcast. It also has a full archive of games and highlights in case you missed an important game (or can’t deal with the timezone disadvantages of not being in North America). It’s pretty sweet and the while the price is going up year-on-year it is still a pretty good deal at £160 for the season (all teams, all games).
BTW, does anyone know if the Steelers are going to be good this year? Either way looking forward to seeing the 2011 season.
Not the best played game by UConn (particularly by Kemba) but it was enough! I’m getting used to these sleepless nights (it’s 2:40am here) but it’s good madness. Keep it coming UConn, let’s go to the finals!
I went to Houston a few months back but a friend just posted me a few extra pictures:
When you’re in Texas you gotta go shooting. Not a bad shot, eh?
The picture’s a little out of focus but still legible. These shirts were for sale in the shooting range and the sentiment just made me crack up. I don’t think these shirts were made to be laughed at but that doesn’t mean they’re not funny.
Well I’m unwilling to really say “suck” but damn it’s disappointing how inconsistent I am. I played three sets today and lost all three. My serve was inconsistent, my forehand was inconsistent, my backhand was ok (but it usually better than ok).
I’d convinced myself that UConn would drop to a #2 seed for the tourney but they’ve managed to clinch a #1 seed in the West! Can’t wait to see this tournament play out and fingers crossed that UConn’s recent losses have gotten losing out of the system.
Looks like you can bring the NCAA tourney on the road with you. Mobinet and CBS are offering an application for the iPhone and iTouch that will make 63 of the NCAA March Madness games available live for streaming. Very tempting for the US audience I would imagine … at work, on the road, still having the tourney available would be sweet.
In the UK the games are all post-work times though so I’m hoping to find some sort of online streaming service that I can connect Boxee to (or at least my browser). So far what I’ve found is NCAA Broadcasts which is free and has reasonably good quality clips but I’m not convinced they’ll have full games. It does say “watch live games” but seems a bit too good to be true. It seems to be sponsored by CBS Sports too. Fingers crossed.
The UConn men’s basketball team is number one in the nation as of this past Monday! Sweet jesus my sporting mojo is doing well! First the Steelers win the Superbowl and now this? If I were a more superstitious man I’d be buying lottery tickets this week.
Many of you know the fabled Chicago Bears coach as a formidable sportsman and television personality but did you know that he could have potentially eliminated Barach Obama’s political campaign?!? True. At least there’s a small element of truth to it. Read more here:
Could Mike Ditka have derailed Barack Obama’s ascendancy?
Kabuki just ran a half-marathon today! She’s been training for several months now but had been suffering from a bad knee recently. You couldn’t tell today. She finished in style, undoubtedly she’ll be sore tomorrow but she shined today.
I wish I could say everyone had so much grace … while waiting near the finish line I saw one woman carried on both sides so she could cross the finish line. I had another guy stumble left to right and then backwards onto me. I helped him to balance himself, he mumbled something about being alright and then teetered along for the remaining 500 yards.
