2008 All-Canadian College Team: Mike Gosse of Oklahoma leads the way

By Bob Elliott, Canadian Baseball Network He stands 5-foot-9 and resembles a back-up infielder. Mike Gosse DH Mike Gosse sure stood tall for in his Oklahoma Sooners uniform. As former Montreal Expos manager Felipe Alou used to describe super sub F.P. Santangelo: “It’s not the size of the man, it’s the size of the heart inside the man.” Gosse has a 6-foot-6 heart. Gosse (senior, Pitt Meadows, BC) earned 35 first-place ballots to lead the way the ninth annual All-Canadian College Team. He h

The Day After: Old Spice Classic Recap (Day 1)

Posted by Zach on November 28, 2008 LIVE from Orlando! (actually my living room, but we can pretend) What did we learn from Day One of the Old Spice Classic? Tennessee is for real, Georgetown can’t shoot, Maryland and Oklahoma State could be in the hunt for a bid after all, Purdue may be the class of the Big Ten rather than Michigan State, Wichita State is no walkover and Gonzaga may be slightly overrated. Here are my recaps/analysis: #12 Tennessee 78, Siena 64: I expected the first game of th

It’s Like Watching A Nation Building It’s Own Funeral Pyre…

Submitted by njartist on Thu, 2008-11-27 16:25. In the last few weeks, the leftists and pseudo-Republicans have destroyed the American economy and promised a vision of the new socialist state. With the 2 trillion and rising “bailout”, they have rendered us and the succeeding generations impoverished. We have become serfs in our own nation. Remember these words for they apply in the UK too.   From Meccania to Atlantis - Part 3: From Encirclement to Breakout By Takuan Seiyo Created 2008-11-27 10

Top trades: Jets pack 1-2 punch

For a man who helped engineer what is shaping up to be one of the top trades in NFL history, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson didn’t seem all that interested in gloating about the move to get Brett Favre. Favre and the Jets have won five in a row. (US Presswire/The Star-Ledger) “We’ve had a number of moves we made that have had to work out for us to get here,” Johnson said as he walked from the Jets locker room to his waiting car following New York’s 34-13 win over Tennessee in

Passing Thoughts

Actor /Humorist/Football enthusiast Nick Bakay is famous for uttering these words: “The numbers never lie.” While I am certain Nick isn’t the first to speak these four words, he is only person I can recall off the top of my head. In light of Donovan McNabb’s recent benching, there has been a plethora of heated chatter in football circles as to whether it’s McNabb’s fault for the failures in Philly, or Head Coach Andy Reid’s pass-first offensive philosophy. It’s hardly a secret that Reid be

Week 12 Power Rankings - Giants Supporters Vindicated

The people who power-ranked the Giants above the Titans have now been vindicated.  And what’s with all this strife in Tennessee now?  LenDale White acting like a little punk because he isn’t getting the ball?  Who does he think he is, Terrell Owens?   I thought Vince Young was the only headcase on that team.  Guess I was wrong. The full power rankings after the jump: 1.  New York Giants Every week they impress you more.  They put up 30 on the Ravens?  They ran circles around the up-and-comi

Week 13 NFL Picks: Use Your Illusion

Here's a Mr. Science moment from this here blog that you can actually use in your daily life. I'll try not to make it a habit.Quick quiz. You are out somewhere in a noisy setting, and get a call that you have to take on your cell phone. Being unable to go somewhere quiet and unwilling to let it go to voicemail, what do you do?Well, if you are like most people, you curl up into a ball, stick a finger in the ear that you aren't taking the call with, and have a thoroughly unsatisfying experience of

Every Down Back

Could the Giants and the Jets meet in Tampa, Fla., for Super Bowl XLIII? It would be the best day in New Jersey’s history. Neither the Giants nor the Jets — who play in the same stadium in New Jersey, not New York — were predicted to do damage in the playoffs. After Week 12, it looks like they could meet in the Super Bowl. The Giants have been the league’s best and most consistent team, led by a tenacious front five on offense and an elusive front four on defense. They have out-thrown, out-r

Turkey day menu

We’re just four days away from two of my favorite pastimes coming together as one — eating and Football. More specifically, Thanksgiving and Football. I don’t know who came up with the concept of making Football such a big part of the Thanksgiving holiday, but I’d like to send that person a thank-you card. The Thanksgiving holiday is one of my favorite days of the year, and it is always enhanced by watching Football. Sitting around watching the games while the aroma of great food being prepa

Reforming U.S. Public Diplomacy for the 21st Century

Required reading for today: Heritage's latest titled Reforming U.S. Public Diplomacy for the 21st Century by Tony Blankley, Helle C. Dale and Oliver Horn.

Marshall Ganz on the Future of the Obama Movement

Monday I was up at Harvard to give a talk to Nicco Mele's class at the Institute of Politics on "The Making of the President 2.0: How the Internet is Changing the Political Game." (The powerpoint is here.) While I was there, I was fortunate to get an hour with Marshall Ganz, who teaches public policy at the Kennedy School and is attached to the Hauser Center on Nonprofit Organizations.

View All Dolphins Blog Posts 19 November 2008 No Respect For The Game posted by utopia1dc Just this past Sunday (November 16th), something occurred in the NFL during a post-game news conference that has left me dumbfounded. The Eagles and Bengals played to a 13-13 tie. Usually that would be news in of itself, since ties are very rare in the NFL. In fact, the last tie came in 2002. The last time an Eagles game ended in a tie was, coincidentally, on November 16, 1997 agains

Week 12 NFL Picks: Compartmentalizing

Last Sunday afternoon as I waited for the Inevitable Death Flu that was a dead-solid lock for me once I saw the Shooter Kids and Wife go down, I took stock of my Sunday. The points keeper auction league, my most important roto moment, was ringing up pinball points on Warner to Boldin, locking up the Worst to First recovery from Week One. The work head to head league turned around as soon as Steve Slaton took a long one to the house; I'm very likely to make the playoffs there. The friends head to

BC's German Ferries May Be Lemons

By Andrew MacLeod, via The Tyee: On Dec. 13, 2007, the first of three Super C-class vessels built for $542 million in Germany arrived in B.C. to much fanfare. Less than 10 months later, B.C. Ferries announced the Coastal Renaissance would be spending more days tied up at the terminal than it would carrying passengers. The publicly owned company that runs the ferries has yet to fully explain why. Back when the Coastal Renaissance arrived, B.C. Ferries' chief operating officer Mike Corrigan said

Jerome Dyson Has Some Skills

Randy Edsall has taken his name out of the running for the Syracuse Orange opening. Steve and I both agree that until someone not named Randy Edsall signs a contract to coach the Orange, that he will still be a candidate whether he wants to be or not. Chip Malafronte of the New Haven Register, Desmond Conner of the Hartford Courant and John Silver of the Journal Inquirer have their thoughts about Randy Edsall and the Orange opening. Jeff Jacobs of the Hartford Courant says if Randy Edsall left
