Is Tiffany Weimer Boston’s Best-Kept, Sarcastic Secret?
Okay, so I try not to read too much of what the WPS sends me through e-mail, but I’m happy I had a weak moment and clicked on a link to Tiffany Weimer’s most recent blog post. Did I really care what she had to say? No, not really. But did I want to edit an article on key initiatives for supply chain management IT leaders for 2010? No, not really. So clicked I did.
Smart-Alecs get their team pictures distorted on the Interweb
Thank you, Tiffany, because I think I can smell it from here. And if delicious, eyebrow-raising sarcasm was not your intent? Hey, your post still beat the hell out of execution processes and business innovation.

And in the name of convenience, here is a six-point bullet list summarizing Philadelphia Independence forward Amy Rodriguez’s scintillating interview with womensprosoccer.com: Amy is on a brand new team. Independence head coach Paul Riley is refreshing. Her job is to score goals. Amy plays without pressure. The Boston Breakers is her old team. Playing against the Boston Breakers will be different. Now [...]

Get Well Really, Really Soon, Ramona Bachmann
By: Angela | 1 Comment
The first time I heard Ramona Bachmann’s name, someone referred to her as the “Swiss Marta.” I thought that maybe this was only because she played for Swedish top-team Umeå IK at the time, just like Marta, and is young, just like Marta, but still. Intrigued by the idea of a European player with such [...]

Breakers Beat Abby’s Team 2-1, Share First Place
By: Angela | Add Comments
Lauren Cheney scored the first goal of the season when the Breakers’ defeated the Washington Freedom on their own soil (or is it turf now ?) this past Saturday. Surprised, I was, in a sort of good way, to see Kelly Smith on the front line next to Cheney, but happy to see that she, [...]

Natasha Kai Under PUMA’s Wing, New Ad Perpetuates Fantastical Idea That the Girl’s Got Mad Skill
By: Angela | 15 Comments
Joining the likes of Karina LeBlanc, Leslie Osborne, and no other than the Golden Girl herself, Marta, PUMA signed Sky Blue FC’s heavily inked forward (count ‘em: TWO sleeves now!) Natasha Kai to its athletic roster. And in true corporate fashion, they’ve even got a promo shot [...]

It’s a Twitter War?
By: Melissa | 2 Comments
Small audience and small budget means WPS has to do a pretty good job being inventive when it comes to advertising and publicity. A great example would be the Washington Freedom Fan Bill of Rights which, if I remember correctly, is a direct jab at the Redskins (pointy) football team and various complaints from [...]

Welcome to the First 'Must Win Sunday'

If the 1878 fans who bothered to show up for the Independence Day match featuring Boston at Sky Blue FC are any indication, no one is paying much attention to WPS over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, and they certainly aren't reading this article. But I persevere.
