I’m posting a lot because my knee blew up yesterday so I’ve just been lying in bed with it elevated & iced. I’m currently in the middle of season two of 30 Rock on Hulu. Good Stuff. And I’ve got two breaking news items of the utmost importance: First, Riptide, the new [...]

By: Melissa | No Comments
I spent a few years of my life living in Portland, Oregon. During that time, I had some friends who would make the annual trek up to Lind, Washington for their Combine Destruction Derby. The pic to the left is apparently a souped up combine that participated in 2005. My friends [...]

So the good news is, WPS will expand to Atlanta for the 2010 season! A letter of intent was signed on Monday. The bad news is, Dallas has yet to score a stadium deal, which keeps the club from hiring staff and selling any tickets. Tonya Antonucci wants the situation resolved [...]

If you’ve been reading the stuff I write for The Offside & World Cup Blog for a while, you probably already figured out I’m a bit of a geek. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that I cannot access the video at the NBC Olympics site because I don’t run Windows or OS X. [...]
Someone paid attention in class when they rattled on about this “New Media”

While I was busy rekindling my love for Benny Feilhaber, Amanda Vandervort went off and made a one-stop shopping site for WPS.

By: Melissa | No Comments
The W-League Championship game was a 2-1 victory over FC Indiana. Pali Blues are the winners and that pretty much wraps up your 2008 W-League season.
