LeBronapalooza Deconstructed

Why the three headed monster of South Beach may be good for the Lakers and bad for LeBron
Let’s first clear the air – regardless of who they sign to play around the Miami Thrice, or how many hours it takes Pat Riley’s goons to convince soon to be ex-coach Eric Spoelstra that the Heat’s new practice facility is [...]

Beat Boston!

Posted on June 3rd, 2010 by coltrane

Religious history is chock full of pilgrammages — from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales to Buddha’s Bodh Gaya — every religion offers a physical journey as a metaphor for a journey of more moral, spiritual significance. The journey is full of trials and tribulations, it humbles us and in doing so, makes us stronger. I [...]

How to be a Certified Wildlife Habitat

Posted on May 2nd, 2010 by stepping_up

With more and more open space giving way to development, the human population encroaches on the ecosystems that are home to wildlife, plants and other living organisms. Balanced ecosystems provide numerous services to us whether by cleaning the air we need to breathe or simply by sharing their beauty with us. With this in mind, [...]

Forget World Cup, How About Some Real Football

Posted on April 2nd, 2010 by Ari Gold

World Cup is the most watched sports event in the world. However, it is definitely not the most entertaining and exciting event. Watching Brazil play against China is the equivalent of the Dream Team playing against Angola. Game’s over pretty much when it was announced.
As far as the best football event (soccer is now a [...]

Woe Canada!

Posted on February 23rd, 2010 by Ari Gold

Hockey to Canada is what Baseball to Americans, Skiing to Norwegians, and Vodka to Russians. Winning the gold in hockey is Canada’s inalienable right. Its the only medal that Canadians cared about, and the only one that matters. They can lose in just about every other winter sport, as long as they win the men’s [...]

I thoroughly enjoyed that Super Bowl (and not just because the lovable underdog Saints won). It was much closer than the final score would indicate. Positives include: it was a well-refereed, low-penalty game with very few mistakes. You got to see two of the game’s top QBs doing their thing. The outcome was in doubt until the pick-6 with 3 minutes to go.

NFL Playoff Predictions

NFL Playoff Prediction
Week 2 of the NFL Playoff is here, and this is where things get interesting.
Here’s the recap:
The Cincinnati Bengals had endured a trying season, but lost to a more talented team. The playoff will not be the same without The Ochocinco Network broadcasting his every thought on the Internet. Also, earlier this week, [...]

Win or We Won’t Show Up

Posted on January 12th, 2010 by Ari Gold

Southern California is spoiled with riches. We have the best weather in the world (minus the earthquakes), gorgeous people (some artificially enhanced), and an amazing lifestyle (if you can freakin’ afford it).  Having traveled around the world, I could comfortably say that there’s no where I’d rather live than here.
However, when it comes to sports, [...]
