Three-hundred yards in 70 seconds. That means you have to run a little more than 1/6 of a mile at a 6 minute 51 second mile pace. Then take three and a half minutes of rest (triple the amount of time you just spent running). Now go back and run another 300 yards, this time [...]

Even though I am supposed to be the Boston correspondent I strongly considered writing a post about the Bill Simmons dubbed, “LeBroncolypse” or “LeBacle.” Bill Simmons did a better job than I would have done and the submissions from his readings are very funny, so I urge you to read it. I don’t think any [...]

A few friends are getting together to play some basketball. That’s all this is. Three guys like each other and have fun playing on the same team. Is that so wrong? Because that’s the situation right now.
On Thursday night, the world came down hard on LeBron. Dan Gilbert was the ringleader [...]

I am not from Cleveland.  I have never been to Cleveland.  In fact, the only time I’ve even been to the state of Ohio, I posed for a picture outside of a Columbus bar in Michigan Wolverines gear.  As a native of Ann Arbor and a resident of the D.C. area, sports teams in the [...]

I don’t know what is more frustrating: the Brett Farve-esque, ubiquitous coverage of the LeBron James and co. free agent bonanza that has taken over Sports Center or watching the Red Sox unbelievable resurgence this season marred by a disabled list that closely resembles Baghdad. The free agent speculation is killing me as much as [...]

The newest crop of D.C. superheroes has arrived. Strasburg, McNabb and Wall are here to save the day. They hold office on a diamond and a pair of rectangles rather than in an oval, but the way that Washington fans have reacted you wouldn’t have known.
Strasmas has already lasted 27 days instead of the traditional [...]

So before I start this blog, I need to make one thing clear.  New York is the greatest sports city in the world.  I don’t care what Sam tells you about D.C. or what Ryan tells you about Boston, it’s all here in New York.  While there are no rational arguments to [...]

It seems fitting that Cornell’s first national sports blog launches on such a momentous national holiday.  On this Fourth of July we celebrate life, liberty and the pursuit of blogging.  And with that in mind, Cornell students across the United States (or for now just the Eastern Seaboard) are officially free to start blogging about [...]

Notre Dame goalie Scott Rodgers makes one of his season-high 16 saves against the Big Red.
Cornell came into this years’ NCAA tournament having lost 16 seniors last year. No one expected much of them this year and even though they didn’t make it to the Championship game on Memorial Day, the 2010 Big Red lacrosse [...]
