I Watched the 2006 World Cup Final

Aside Nick Momrik1 Comment

I’ll admit I watched the final game of the 2006 World Cup. I was rooting for France to win, but Italy prevailed in the shootout after two scoreless overtime periods. I only missed a minute here and there throughout the entire game as I ran to another room or did a quick channel change. At […]

If It Ain't Rough, It Ain't Right

The Detroit Pistons once again showed their toughness last night, winning game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Miami Heat still hold a lead in the series at 3-2, but the pressure is now on them to win game 6 on their home court. Everyone knows the Miami doesn’t want to end up in a game 7 back at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Detroit doesn’t lose in those types of games at home.

Last night was the first time in a couple of weeks where the Pistons actually looked like the same team that went 64-18 in the regular season. If the Pistons came play with the same intensity they did last night and Rasheed Wallace can show up for a game I like our chances on Friday night. Don’t count this team out just yet.

Trying Tennis

This weekend when my friend Mo was in town I tried out tennis for the first time. Mo is a pretty good tennis player (or at least that’s what he tells everyone) so I figured he could give me a few pointers, teach me the game, and give me a few tennis tips. It was only my first time on the court so I wasn’t expecting much, but I don’t think I did too bad. Just like golf, it’s a sport where you need to get in some practice time and feel comfortable out on the court.

We spent nearly three hours on the court and I’m still feeling some of the muscles today. All in all it was fun and I think I’ll be trying to play once every week or two as something different to do. Oh…did I mention that Mo and I played a set and I actually won a game? First time out and I beat the “Champion” in one game. It was even on a game in which he was serving! Maybe I’m a “natural athlete” like Mo. 😉

A Sporting Thanksgiving

As posted previously, I attended a few professional sports events over the Thanksgiving holiday. Last Wednesday (Nov. 23) my parents left Rogers City bright and early. I’m not sure why they came down so early, but I wasn’t too happy that they interrupted my Xbox 360 time since I had just hooked it up the night before. Luckily they went off to do a little shopping and I had a little more time by myself. We met up with my brother and ate lunch at the mall.

Warning! This post might be a novel since it’s been weeks since my last “real” update.
