The Sports Bra: February 2012
http://thesportsbra.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
A Tomboy's Life in Sports. Tuesday, February 28, 2012. No Longer A Slam Dunk. The NBA Slam Dunk contest has seen better days. It is an event desperately seeking an all-star. As someone who previously has covered the All-Star Weekend, I know from experience—and, of course, common sense—that the entire event is built around big-name NBA stars. Believe me, they are falling from the rafters. You can’t walk three feet without tripping over one. Last year, fans witnessed the likes of Blake Griffin jumping over...

The Sports Bra: June 2010
http://thesportsbra.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
A Tomboy's Life in Sports. Monday, June 28, 2010. If the NFL thought it had a concussion/brain damage crisis before, the revelations surrounding the death of Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry could send a panic throughout the league. Well, Henry was in this 20s—26 to be exact—and he was not a known repeat concussion sufferer, at least not based on NFL medical records. He died with the disease while still playing the game—the first known player to do so. This appears to be a problem that affect...

A Tomboy's Life in Sports. Monday, June 18, 2012. Bring Back Wide World of Sports. I really miss ABC’s Wide World of Sports. Was where the lesser-known sports from around the globe were given a chance at the spotlight, and I loved every minute of it. If you haven’t done so already, I encourage all sports fans to broaden their horizons and tune into some of these sports. If you have cable TV or a dish, you probably can find these programs on any number of channels. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A Tomboy's Life in Sports. Sunday, March 25, 2012. Peyton, Payton and Payton. If your name is Peyton or Payton, this past week has been one of great excitement, great shock and great sadness. Posted by Powered by Williams Public Relations. Sunday, March 11, 2012. RGIII: Talk About Real QB Pressure. Full disclosure: I am a lifelong Washington Redskins fan.

The Sports Bra: Serena, the Tennis Player!
http://thesportsbra.blogspot.com/2012/07/serena-tennis-player.html
A Tomboy's Life in Sports. Saturday, July 7, 2012. Serena, the Tennis Player! There’s Serena the designer. There’s Serena the celebrity dater. Serena the actress and Serena the pitchwoman. There’s Serena the nail technician and there’s Serena with the great, athletic body, donning a two-piece at the beach. As I watched Wimbledon, the announcer reminded the audience that the Williams Sisters—both Serena and Venus—have dominated tennis for nearly two decades. (Really, has it been that long? Hard no to chee...

The Sports Bra: December 2010
http://thesportsbra.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
A Tomboy's Life in Sports. Tuesday, December 28, 2010. Donovan, We Barely Knew Ye. If there is any truth to the rumors, Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb will take his talents out of Washington at the end of the season. Thank goodness. As a Redskins fan as well as a fan of Donovan the quarterback and the person, this season has been particularly hard to watch. In Philly, Donovan had consistency in Eagles coach Andy Reid. At least he knew where he stood under Coach Reid. Even after being benched...Donov...

A Tomboy's Life in Sports. Sunday, April 22, 2012. A Letter to Bobby Valentine. Congratulations on the new job. Wow, managing the Boston Red Sox—what a gig! But, boy, what an opportunity! C’mon. Clearly, it was time for him to go. Anybody is a step up from that. Enter you, Bobby. Sure, you’ve had a couple of missteps as most people are wont to do during their first days at a new job, but throwing Kevin Youkilis under the bus, in front of the media, what was that all about? Game 1 in the series did not go...

The Sports Bra: It’s All Fun and Games Until …
http://thesportsbra.blogspot.com/2012/09/its-all-fun-and-games-until.html
A Tomboy's Life in Sports. Monday, September 3, 2012. It’s All Fun and Games Until …. Admit it, when it comes to the NFL’s replacement officials, you probably fall into one of four categories:. You mock them, laughing hysterically at some of the boneheaded calls from the preseason (. That’s a touchback … the 4-yard line! You are freaked out, fearing the day they blow a big, game-changing call against your favorite team. One inexplicable call a game isn’t looking so bad in comparison, huh? While many fans...
