Richard Sherman: Ripped From The Headlines…
You don’t have to be a sports fan to recognize the name, Richard Sherman. Since his screaming interview on Fox after the NFC championship game, people are talking.

Super Bowl XLVIII
Well Devils, I do not want to gloat, but I accurately predicted the opponents for Super Bowl XLVIII.

Bleeding Orange…
We are rapidly approaching the NFL divisional championship games and then Super Bowl Sunday which is at Giants Stadium (MetLife) this year, minus my beloved New York Football Giants. I am in a quandary as to which team to support.

A Giant Obsession…
The NY Giants won their 3rd game in a row this past Sunday after suffering 6 consecutive losses. The Giants generational fan club was very excited, spending time enthusing and swearing through texts and phone calls during Sunday’s ugly victory. It is hysterical to see my daughter, my mother and moi react to the shenanigans…

Fantasy Football Folly…
Fantasy Football is one of the most lucrative and popular interactive sports out there today. Wouldn’t it be great if there was fantasy dating or fantasy BFF drafts? Opportunity knocks…you are allowed to draft the man of your dreams. You project, after doing your homework and studying his stat sheet, that he would be a…

Only The Best Is Good Enough…
Are YOU ready for some football?! A full schedule of NFL football kicks off this weekend. Sunday’s now officially belong to the football pagans…forget about church. For those who are interested in being entertained, sharing quality time with husbands, significant others and children, here is a description of what you are about to see invade…

Feet Don’t Fail Me…
Another day which means another long day of tennis and my feet have turned on me. As soon as this is over, I am taking to my bed for one week. I am just disappointed that I didn’t hook up with a pedometer so I can, at the very least, impress myself with my mileage…

Rain, Rain Go Away…
I have nothing left…worked 18 hours through a 4 hour rain delay and the longest day match of the tournament between del Potro and Garcia-Lopez which lasted 4 hours and 13 minutes. If I never talk to another human again, I’ll be fine. Here is a photo of the throngs waiting to enter Ashe as the…

Dandy Duval Day at the Open…
Another 14 hour day. The match of the day was up and coming 17 year-old American teenager, Victoria Duval, taking down 2011 US Open champ, Australian, Samantha Stosur. She powered through in 3 sets in the first round of the tournament. Duval, who is a qualifier, is ranked 296th and won 5-7, 6-4, 6-4. This was just…

Serving Up Secret Service, Michelle Obama and Tennis…
Long day at the Open yesterday. Arrived at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center by 7:15am as Michelle Obama attended Arthur Ashe Kid’s Day. We witnessed New York’s finest and the Secret Service in action…loved that some of the SS was dressed in Ralph Lauren. Metal detectors abounded as did bomb sniffing dogs…had to resist trying to pet…

Tantalizin’ Tennis Talent…
It’s late and I look like a drown rat. I just spent 7 hours outside in the pouring rain at the US Open. Can you handle the glamour of this job?! We, at the Open, are modeled from the same mold as the United States postmen…neither rain nor snow nor heat nor gloom of night… I am amazed how many…

The Heat Is On…
Day 3…the tennis players are literally burning up the courts. It was 90 degrees today with 100% humidity. Being outside all day long is enervating. I really don’t know how the players practice and compete in this heat, but that’s why they all have conditioning coaches and are prepared to play under any circumstances. I am shocked by how expensive…
-
Openin’ Gambit…
Two long, hot days at the Open, one week before it kicks off. This year is, “The Year of the Athlete”. They asked for more money, better food and no peasants to cross their line of vision. Sounds reasonable… I need to practice and play more. If you qualify and loose in the first round,…

Love Match at the US Open…
I am a true New Yorker, but I must say that in regard to hair conditions, Los Angeles outranks NY by a country mile. Frizz is not a commodity. Screw volume…a smooth do is the way to go. Today the humidity was 100% and I had to go into full hand to hand hair combat….

It Just Doesn”t Get Better Than This…
The day unfolded shrouded in coastal fog. Courtny and I took Berkeley, the miracle dog, for a 5 mile walk. Our Super Dog has rebounded again. She was literally on death’s door last weekend, but a dose of antibiotics and Berkeley’s back. Madison joined the festivities and she was also given a clean bill of health…

Start Spreading The News …
Just returned from desolate Chez Ravine…yes, it is located in the USA. It is the site of Dodger Stadium and the city built the stadium in 1962 perhaps as an internment camp because there is only one way in and one way out. My beloved Yankees were in town so Courtny and her friend Cat…

Take Me Out To The Ball Game…
A new week and I am happy to report that I begin the holiday week not perspiring! I have to give props to my new blog. It has occupied and distracted me and dried me out. Who needs a doctor when you are stimulated and busy! Also, thank you all so much for following my blog….

I’ve Got Game…
It’s Friday and that means it is date night. People often ask if David and I have a prenuptial agreement because I was making big money when we became engaged. Yes, we do and I am willing to divulge. Our pre-nup is a two liner…he has to ask me out on a date every weekend……
