ESPN's Fab Five Documentary....

 20 years ago, they were considered "thugs" of college basketball.  These long shorts wearing, black socks flaunting trash talking college players were either loved or hated by fans.   I was highly entertained by this 2 hour documentary which aired on ESPN tonight.  If you get a chance, watch this show about Michigan's basketball recruits of Chris Webber, Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson.   Yes, they did not win any championship and their banners came down....  but the inside story on how it started and how it went down was facinating!  

You too?

 Yes.  Hockey for the little guy as well.  Here we go....

hockey injury?

He shows me this biggest bruise I have ever seen and said that it was from hockey practice.  How can this be possible near the armpit?  James, you were there... What did you do?

V ball begins...

FIFA World Cup 2010.....

I'm a big fan.  I already checked to see when the final match will be.  July 11th at 11:30 a.m.  Sunday.  Great.  We'll be in LA and we got Dodger tickets that evening.  Unlike the Olympics, this is LIVE.  *my beef about the last Olympic telecast: In same time zone but watching it hours later on Prime Time.   I'm not a World Cup fanatic though.... I will watch soccer on MY time.  maybe.

Oh Canada....

What a game! 
You're lucky to have cute little fans like Logan and Emily!  ENK and I asked our Canadian friends from church...  "Canda vs. USA... which hockey team?"  "Of course Canada!!!" Then our friend Ken started singing 'OH Canada in FRENCH!"  Ken's a US citizen but something about spending 8 years in Toronto as a young kid made him SOFT for CANADA.  Oh what a game! 

Keep the pants!

Summer session of hockey came to an end. No trophy this time but they played really well once again. ENK washed his hockey gears in a big 5 gallon tub and air dried them in the back yard. After a year of wearing red hockey pants, ENK stated that he's now going to wear a hand-me-down pants that he got from his buddy Lloyd.  ENK thinks that the red pants made him stand out "too much".

The kids looked outside the yard and asked why dad's "hot pants" was outside.

 

I told them that he's thinking of wearing the blue one. "No, then he'll be Eric the 'cold pants', that's not his name!"  Well, there you have it. Either get a black one like everyone else or keep the hot pants dear! 

WBC: Anyone watching?

What a game last night!  If I could, I would go see the Thursday night game in San Diego and the Semi Final game in LA~  If you don't know what I'm talking about, this blog is not for you!  This was a painful scene for Team Japan!
