    There is an awesome article in the WSJ about long-term goals for soccer in the U.S. “The hardest thing for people to accept and understand – longtime fans, soccer haters, the awakening media, the gleefully dismissive European football world – is that soccer in the U.S. has to be viewed through a lens more suitable…

    I have been keeping this Web site for just under five years. In that time, I am proud to say that I have somehow avoided becoming obsessed with another blogger (in that really unhealthy way). I have met people through mihow.com, but I haven’t developed any unhealthy online girl (or guy) crushes. Thus far, I…

    Runners, I need your help. Let’s start with my ankle. It hurts. I have been running anywhere from 3.5 to 4.5 miles a day and upping my distance on the weekends. I love it. My heart rate has even gone down. (Before it would shoot up well above 70. Now, it takes a while before…

    A lot of people new to football (soccer), or just those who have never played, have a big problem with offsides. For those who are unfamiliar with offsides. In order to be offsides a player “must be on their attacking half of the field, be involved in the play, and be closer to the goal…

    I took Thursday off. I am taking a comp day for working over the weekend. On Thursday at 10:00 AM EST the USA plays Ghana in their third World Cup game. If the USA wins that game and Italy wins their game, we advance to round two. It’s going to be a heckuva day. Here’s…

    Tobyjoe and I went to Paragon Sports at Union Square on Thursday to pick up a mitt and some running gear. I was seduced by Prana and this shirt while we were there. I discovered a new brand as well. (I also discovered that I went down an entire pant size. Granted, I don’t seem…

    WalMart made the news again. Someone has been stealing copies of Cheaper By The Dozen from WalMart stores in Beckley, MacArthur, Summersville, Lewisburg and neighboring Virginia. 270 copies of the film have been swiped. The perps are still at large. “A man and woman were captured by video surveillance that showed the pair entering the…

    Somewhere along the line I picked up a crush on Hislop, the goalie for Trinidad and Tobago. And I found myself rooting for them the entire time I was at the gym watching the first half of their second game. They have a decent defense, which is how they fought off Sweden but their offense…

    Yesterday morning on the train a man yelled at me. I’m still trying to figure out why he yelled at me and I’m still trying to figure out what I can do in the future to avoid it. Either way, he yelled at me and it bugged me greatly. I was getting onto the 4/5/6…

    Yesterday, I was almost hit by a little bus on my way in to the office. I wasn’t even jaywalking at the time. Instead, I absent-mindedly decided to cross the street when it was not, in fact, OK to do so. I guess you might say my signals got crossed. I looked at the green…
