Eliot Festival Day 5k (2006)

By Blaine Moore on Saturday, September 30th, 2006 | 5 Comments

The Eliot Festival Day 5k was this morning in Eliot, Maine. The field was not quite as deep this year, but still saw a record setting winning time of 14:16. Pat Tarpy of Providence (formerly of Yarmouth) beat the field by almost a minute. Casey Moulton and Ethan Hemphill came through in 15:12 and 15:18 [...]

This Week Last Year: Doping, Swiss Balls, and Soreness

By Blaine Moore on Saturday, September 30th, 2006 | No Comments

This week last year, there was some doping, some soreness, and the Red Sox lost. I explained how to do hip extensions with a swiss ball and linked to an animated image at a different site showing the move. I asked whether you would take a DNA test to determine athletic abilities and point out [...]

The Mystic Places Marathon has a new name

By Blaine Moore on Friday, September 29th, 2006 | 1 Comment

The Mystic Places Marathon has a new name now: The Mystic Country Marathon & Niantic Bay Festival. The course appears to be the same, so I imagine that not much else has changed about the race with the new name. I am sure that it is still a great (and quick) marathon course and thoroughly [...]

Week 4 NFL Picks

By Blaine Moore on Friday, September 29th, 2006 | No Comments

Denver, NY Giants, Pittsburgh, and Tampa Bay are not playing this week. I hate to do it, but I have to pick against my Patriots this week. I think that Cincinatti is going to have the edge at home this week. I think that Chicago, Indianapolis, and New Orleans will remain undefeated; Cleveland and Houston [...]

Update: Oscoda’s coach presents his reasons for shutting down the football team

By Blaine Moore on Thursday, September 28th, 2006 | 4 Comments

Earlier today, I wrote my thoughts about the Oscoda Area High School football team and how their coach shut their season down after going 0-4 and not scoring a single point. I may have to revise my opinion of the situation. My thoughts were boiled down to: Let the kids play, as long as you [...]

A bad team’s season is ended arbitrarily

By Blaine Moore on Thursday, September 28th, 2006 | 5 Comments

I was listening to the news about the Oscoda Area High School football team, and how their season was arbitrarily cut short after being shut out for their first four games. Their coach, Kyle Tobin, is in his first year. His argument is that they are so physically dominated in their tough conference that it [...]

Minor League shake-up

By Blaine Moore on Wednesday, September 27th, 2006 | 2 Comments

There seems to be a lot going on in the minors, this year. With the increased cash flow of minor league baseball teams, they have been able to break free of some of their affiliations for more advantagous positions with other teams. With Allentown building a new baseball stadium, the Phillies affiliation with Scranton/Wilkes Barre [...]

Painkillers should be used sparingly to avoid overdose

By Blaine Moore on Wednesday, September 27th, 2006 | 2 Comments

Anybody that is at all interested in sports should be sick of hearing about Terrell Owens today. He took too many painkillers, mixing them with supplements, and went to the hospital. Whether he tried to commit suicide or just made a stupid mistake he teaches us a very valuable lesson that I have not heard [...]

I just heard from Ryan Pancoast that he will be doing a book signing for Coast to Coast on Friday, October 6th, at the Brick City Festival in Rochester, New York. There should also be a few of the other runners from the transcontinental relay there as well. You can catch up with the runners [...]
