Thursday can’t come fast enough

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

We can only hope that this series is half as intense as those back in the 80's. NBA basketball back then was on another level. The pure hatred teams had for one another made it so special. Bird, McHale, and Parrish vs Magic, Kareem, and Worthy. Oh man, I hear ...

Watch your back

When you run on the field during any event make sure to watch your back. And for goodness sakes don't slow down. If you aren't going to put 100% into the effort, it isn't worth it. A great takedown by Fenway security.
