Champions League Watch - December 2010

Lique 1 Review Dec 31, 2010

December 31st 2010 15:15


Lique 1 is not thought of as one of the top leagues in Europe. With the EPL, LA Liga getting most of the spotlight then Bundelsiga and Serie A taking the rest there is nothing for Lique 1 to do. But if you are looking for the best race in Europe then this is the league

Driving in the First Snow

December 24th 2010 15:56
Guest post of the week by Nestor Nielsen

About a month or so ago, I had a really bad fright when I was taking my boyfriend to work. My boyfriend doesn't drive so I take him to work every day. I guess you could say it's a lot of driving back and forth, but I don't necessarily mind it. At least when the roads are in good shape, that is. We left the house like normal and made our way down the road. I live in the mountains, so there's a lot of twists and turns in the road. Not to mention we have to climb a large, steep hill just to get to his job. So as we're driving, my car starts skidding and swerving on the road. At first, I think it's the tires since I've been having problems with them

Skiing in the Cascade Mountains

December 15th 2010 14:29
I appreciate the guest post, Emerson Moses

When I think of winter vacations, I always think of skiing in Wisconsin. Each January, our family takes a trip to the Cascade Mountains in the southern region of the state. The location is a perfect spot to take a skiing vacation with children because it is close enough to stay in one of the amazing indoor water park hotels of the Wisconsin Dells. I also love that this mountain has a range of winter activities that delight everyone in our family, from our youngest son who likes to ski the bunny slopes to our oldest daughter who enjoys snowboarding

New Deal for Jonathan Spector?

December 2nd 2010 13:31
Spector was the athlete of the day on Pro Sports Wrap a few days ago and i know other bloggers appreciated that so of course when i came across this article on ESPN i figured i would keep the Spector stories going.

West Ham had originally planned to allow Spector, 24, to move on during the January window, with Bundesliga side Cologne having shown interest in his services. The USA international is in the final year of his contract

2018/2022 World Cups: Where to play?

December 1st 2010 16:53
As we all wait for the day when the 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosts will be announced we just sit back and think about who should host.

For 2018 It looks like either Russia or Spain/Portugal. I would rather see it in England but not being from any of these countries to be honest don't really care. Living in the United States makes it hard for me to watch alot of live events that takes place in Russia so i would prefer England or Spain
