North American soccer needs a real Canada v USA rivalry – The Guardian (blog)

Friday, February 05, 2016

Picture the hype. No, no, no. Picture the hate. It’s not often that a window presents itself to talk smack about the War of 1812. Or to put it another way: Where have you gone, Igor Vrablic? A rivalry turns its lonely eyes to you. Woo, woo, woo. Although let’s face it – a rivalry, it ain’t. Hell, it’s barely a skirmish. Over their last 16 meetings, the United States’…

Not to rain on NASCAR’s parade, but big issues remain ahead – ESPN

Thursday, February 04, 2016

11:52 AM ET print Rain. When asked recently about the NASCAR’s biggest challenge, chairman Brian France blamed woes on the rain. Let’s give France the benefit of the doubt that he dodged the question — and an opportunity to explain how he will tackle an important issue — to avoid creating a negative storyline. If NASCAR had no serious issues it actually could control, then it would start 2016 with…

Should NASCAR go electric? – The Verge

Thursday, February 04, 2016

Last week, Bill Nye started a bit of a storm with this post on Aeon: “If NASCAR embraced electric cars it could change the world.” In it, Nye expands on a chapter from his most recent book, where he calls for NASCAR to ditch its internal combustion engines and replace them with electric ones. “We could convert all of our racecars to electricity — right now — and show the…

Jack Riley, 95; coached first US hockey team to win Olympic gold – The Boston Globe

Thursday, February 04, 2016

Jack Riley’s hockey journey began at Medford High and led him through Dartmouth College, the 1948 US Olympic team, and the 1949 World Championships, when he led the US squad as a player-coach. But nothing compared to Feb. 28, 1960, at the Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, Calif., when as head coach of the US team he watched the Americans score six unanswered goals in the third period to defeat…

In Pre-Super Bowl Skirmish, Soccer Parents Take on NFL – Wall Street Journal

Thursday, February 04, 2016

ENLARGE SANTA CLARA, Calif.—Burt Field stood outside the fenced-off Santa Clara Youth Soccer Park, lamenting the assortment of Super Bowl tents, mobile trailers, concrete blocks, portapotties and transport carts spread upon the soccer fields he manages. He watched two people tossing a football back and forth. When a van drove over one field, Mr. Field groaned, snapping photos with a digital camera. ENLARGE “I have almost gotten into fistfights stopping…

Bruce: Cruel twist to Stewart’s swan song – Nascar

Thursday, February 04, 2016

He was loose and smiling, joking around and having fun.  Tony Stewart was away from the track. But he was working just the same.   When you’re a three-time series champion and co-owner of a four-car team in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series, the work seldom stops.   The amount of time someone such as Stewart spends handling sponsor commitments and other ventures associated with his profession would probably stun some NASCAR fans….
