posted December 25, 2009 at 6:40pm

  Did anyone here get the idea in their heads that Christmas equals a day off from training? If you did, you'd be wrong. Professional athletes don't always get a day off just because the stock market is closed. Below are some of the most serious, fu...more

posted December 23, 2009 at 1:47pm

When you’re young, there aren’t many other things you get excited for that compare to getting gifts at Christmastime. You wait all year long for the chance to get ready for bed, set out some milk and cookies, and sleep as little as possible so you ca...more

It's holiday travel season, and with the invention of twitter, I think we are going to be seeing a LOT of bitching and moaning (not judging, I did my own share of twitter travel whining today). Just a preview:@briannaglenn: I wonder why people don't unde...more

There is nothing that will put you in the holiday spirit quite like going to the DMV. I should know,.. I was blessed to spend time there yesterday afternoon. I walked away with feelings of joy and happiness. Where else could I spend hours of my life st...more

Pain, Pain, Go Away...

posted December 15, 2009 at 11:26am

I despise going to the dentist. In fact, there is probably nothing in life that terrifies me more. It starts the moment you sit in the chair and they tell you they’re just going to give you a quick shot that will numb your mouth. They make you believ...more

What I do for a living

posted December 9, 2009 at 12:47pm

Today I was almost going to blog about the horrific day of travel I had yesterday, spanning 14 hours, with nothing to eat but a biscoff cookie and some peanuts (due to the absence of any type of money), and landing in a city that was not my destination. ...more

Jones-ing
by C and R's Stanford Women's Basketball Blog
posted December 2, 2009 at 6:09pm

Okay, so when C opens her internet browser, she has her home page set to Yahoo. Not Google. Her kids, questioning her technology knowledge (and sanity), always ask why she is using the "inferior" Yahoo instead of God-Almighty-Google. C likes to tell them ...more

Mailbag: What's your two cents on Marion Jones?
by Jayda Evans: Womens Hoops Blog
posted December 2, 2009 at 3:28pm

Ever felt an e-mail lashing? It has the subject line of "Enough vacationing!" Then it succinctly tells you what has happened while you were gone (LJ's not going back to Russia. Oregon scored something like 115 points. You missed the Husky Classic) and clo...more

Marion Jones in the WNBA
by Chantelle Says
posted December 2, 2009 at 11:36am

So Marion Jones wants to play in the WNBA. A few people have asked what I thought about it, so I figured I’d comment. I’ll admit I was a little offended when I first read about her intentions. To me, it already seems like people don’t give the ...more

I remember the 2000 Olympics. Well, actually, I just remember Marion Jones in the 2000 Olympics. Her face was everywhere, even on the cover of Vogue (a jock? on the cover of Vogue? How awesome!): Everyone talked about how she was going to win FIVE GOLD...more

Caster Semenya, the gender binary, and a case for the ‘sport continuum’
by Sports, Media & Society
posted November 26, 2009 at 10:02pm

If you’re only vaguely familiar with the troubling case of sex-testing in sport and the Caster Semenya case, a new article in The New Yorker by Ariel Levy may offer the most incisive, comprehensive look at the case and the issues around it. Levy masterf...more

Brianna Glenn: Things to be Thankful For
by My so-called FABULOUS life: Brianna Glenn
posted November 26, 2009 at 12:40pm

Thanksgiving is a day that you remember all the things you are thankful for. The premise might be a little flawed, seeing as how it originated from a day where we kicked Native Americans off their own land and claimed it for our own—just cuz we could—...more

The Eternal Optimist (I wish)
by My so-called FABULOUS life: Brianna Glenn
posted November 20, 2009 at 2:42pm

I like to consider myself an eternal optimist. But the only truth in that statement is the “like to”. In practice, I am usually anything but. I prefer to take a situation, think of the very worse outcome, and then react (in my head) as if that is w...more

A popular discussion this week has been soccer violence, how it's been covered in the media, and how the coverage is being covered. However, this is a great find that should tell us a lot about women athletes and if they are getting more violent, or if th...more
