My Heart Bleeds Husker Red
GO HERE for more photos from my adventure at the Husker game.
“Best $2k I Ever Spent!”
Go HERE for more photos from this event
Nebraska football fans are anything but “fair-weather”. The Tom Osbourne eras are long gone, but they don’t mind, they will show up to suport their Cornhuskers rain or shine. Fall means one thing in Lincoln: Husker Football. The stadium is sold out every single game, making up an infamous “sea of red” that constitutes a crowd of enough fans that the stadium becomes the official third largest city during a game! And, besides that, it’s the one time you can dress ridiculous and get SMILES from your older citizens instead of called in to the police…a freedom that is constant for you New Yorkers, and often taken for granted, this kind of silliness is the highlight of the season here.

Beach Tennis Is Bum Spectator’s Dream Sport
Our friend and tennis pro Heinz Haas has shared with us everything you need to know about the newest summer sport making waves: Beach Tennis.
“Beach Tennis USA takes the fun and fast-paced sport of tennis and combines it with the sun, sea and sand of the beach. It merges the worlds of tennis and beach volleyball into one exciting sport.”
What he failed to mention was that this was a bum spectators dream sporting event.

Serena Williams Gets Ready To Play Venus By Dinning At The Waverly Inn
Will Serena and Oracene soon be watching Venus in the Semifinals?
With tonight’s much anticipated quarterfinal U.S. Open match between sisters Serena and Venus Williams, there is a lot of talk in the press about each others differing preparations. For example:
They often practise together. Not this time…Later, the side-by-side training sessions done, the sisters caught separate rides away from Flushing Meadows. As Serena walked alone to the parking lot, checking for text messages on her pink cellphone…[Canadian Press]
So where did Serena end up last night for her pre-match carbo load? At the Waverly Inn of course.
A Respite for the Stache?

Harkening back to my previous ramblings regarding the Power of the Stache, it must be made known that for now, it is no longer. With the Yankees two and a half games back in the AL Wild Card Race, and Jason Giambi having been taken out of the game on Sunday night – so went the stache along with him. While a Washington Post article humorously comments that the mustache must’ve been “weighing him down,” I’ll say that maybe it was just getting too hot under that 1970s facial hair.
Arnold Schwarzenegger Talks To USA Olympic Athletes Headed for Beijing
Who better to give a send off speech to Olympians than the Governator himself? For those of you who don’t know, Arnold won the Mr. Universe bodybuilding title 7 straight times before he went to take over Hollywood and California politics, making his words all the more poingant. So what did Arnold have to say? “Don’t be a girlie man!” Just kidding. You’ll just have to watch and see for yourself, its totally worth it.
A First Look At The American Olympic Team Uniform By Ralph Lauren
Go HERE for more exclusive photos.
Behold a sneak peek at the Official American Team Olympic Uniform by Polo Ralph Lauren! The motif for these pieces hearken back to the Jesse Owens era, and the aim was to attach a certain gravitas to the American appearance in Beijing this August given the location of the Games and the general geopolitical situation in the world at the moment.
Ralph Lauren certainly didn’t disappoint..
Yankee Stadium And The All-Star Game
It’s almost fitting that the longest All-Star Game in MLB history was played during the Final Season at Yankee Stadium. With the National League losing at the bottom of the fifteenth, the game running just under five hours, it is not a game that will soon be forgotten…
The Yankees Remember Bobby Murcer
Baseball goes beyond ERA’s, batting averages, RBI’s and other statistics. It inevitably bleeds into a way of life, creating families and friendships that endure for decades, even when the uniform is no longer being worn. The next time you tune into a Yankees game, you will witness a different form of Yankee Pride, embodied in that of a black armband on the uniform, commemorating Yankee great Bobby Murcer, who passed away on Saturday after a long uphill battle against cancer.
New York In Philadelphia
Like most New Yorkers, over the holiday weekend I opted out of the city headed for elsewhere. In this case, I did a little montage of hometown love (Philly) and a trek down the shore, giving my Irish skin just enough time to burn before back-deck grilling and fireworks. However, it wasn’t the actual day of the Fourth that brought out that All-American spirit. Rather, it was the day after in Philadelphia, when the Phillies and the New York Mets would face each other in game two of four of the series.
No A-Bombs From A-Rod At The Home Run Derby
The Home Run Derby that is to be held this month in Yankee Stadium (a whole other part of “The Final Season” tribute before moving next-door) will be lacking at least one star –Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez. A lot of players feel that participating in the Home Run Derby has the undesired capacity to affect their swing for the rest of the season.
New York’s Yankees and Mets: Another Subway Series Come to a Close
Unless both New York teams make it to the World Series – the Yankees saw their last time playing in Shea Stadium last night as they wrapped up the weekend Subway Series. Beginning with a double-header on Friday, the day-game being played in the Bronx before heading over to Flushing for the night game, the Yankees faced an insufferable loss that they overturned hours later.
