As much as Spain outplayed Germany in the finals of Euro 2008, one can see that the Joachim Low’s boys were seemingly out of sync. They did find their bearings but it was late. Of course, one can make a case for the Spaniards’ defense that threw Germany’s offense for a long loop, but in my opinion, they took Luis Aragones’ team lightly and paid for it dearly.
I’ve wondered why is it that some teams can’t seem to bring it on a daily basis. Anyone who’s played football will tell you that the aches and tackles can be a killer and affect your effectiveness on the pitch. But there seem to be very few athletes or teams that can play on some form of sustained greatness. So it makes you all the more appreciate what Michael Jordan brought to the table. Never took a night off can you believe that?
Starbucks is closing some 600 shops that will affect the lives of 12,000 employees. For the first time since 2000, the coffee giant is feeling the crunch from competitors like McDonald’s and foreign brands. When I was living in the US, the coffee I actually preferred was Dunkin’ Donuts. Yeah it’s sweeter, but I thought that it has better taste. And while pulling in part time work at a store in Ewing, NJ, it was incredible to see how people would buy more Dunkin’ Donuts coffee than Starbucks. For real.
While working in midtown, I purchased my lunch at a Korean deli at the corner 7th Avenue and West 36th if not at Manhattan Mall a few blocks away from my office in 36th. There was a Starbucks at the corner too and I’d hang out with some friends after work for some cappuccino (I’d make the switch to fraps a few years later). But the funny thing about Starbucks in Manhattan is sometimes there are several shops in one stretch. That is just too much, you know.
Big Brother is ever present and he will make watching football even more fun at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Kansas City Chief’s fan code of conduct states that fans cannot stand up and obstruct another fan’s view regardless of what happens on the field. That’s great. Can we report those who sell food as well?
The code too states that the Chiefs will provide a mobile number where fans can report offending fans via text. You can report even people who wear offending clothing.
Hey, that fan is wearing a Denver Broncos jersey, report the sucker.
Britain's Prince Charles has converted his 38-year-old Aston Martin to run on biofuel made from surplus wine, his office revealed last Tuesday (July 1).
Prince Charles with Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, were on a visit to a whiskey distillery in Northern Ireland last month. Gas run, baby! Gas run.
The car was a 21st birthday present from Queen Elizabeth, and the prince has converted it to run on 100 percent bioethanol as a way to reduce his carbon emissions. The prince has also converted his other cars -- several Jaguars, an Audi and a Range Rover -- to run on 100 percent biodiesel fuel made from used cooking oil, his office added.
Can you imagine the Indy 500 with all the cars running on biofuel?
