South Africa plans to slaughter a cow in every World Cup stadium Posted: 02 Dec 2009 02:12 AM PST 2010 World Cup begins to sound like an abattoir If OTP had built some shiny new World Cup stadia, the last thing we would want to do is splatter them with bovine blood. But who are we to decide what is best for South Africa 2010? It is possible that each stadium will be blessed [...]

SEC Football Blogger

What we learned about the SEC… Posted: 30 Nov 2009 07:07 PM PST  What we learned about the SEC… So now the season is basically done except for the single greatest game in the history of college football. (Alternate title? THE TEBOCALYPSE). I’m going to tell you this. What I want and what I think will happen? It’s going to be different. Vanderbilt: Luck always balances out. Always. They were lucky in 2008. Not so much this year. Mississippi State: I would give Dan Mullen coach of the year for getting to five wins. But I have no voting power. So yeah… Kentucky: Randall Cobb is a force of nature. So long as he’s healthy? They have a punchers chance in each and every game they play. And he still has two more years of eligibility. Auburn: There’s a lot to like if nobody snaps up Gus Malzahn as a head coach. Chris Todd was fine most of the year. Except for those final 86 seconds in the Arn Bowl? Those were indefensibly awful. Arkansas: Most of the offense comes back. Ryan Mallett. Dennis Johnson. The indestructible wide receiver Joe Adams. On experience alone? They could be the victims of the magazine sleeper jinx. South Carolina: For what it’s worth? All they really lose is Eric Norwood. If Spurrier gave a damn? There would be blood. Tennessee: The coach may have a mouth that writes checks his team can’t cash? But they can recruit. And for a franchise that was atrophied? He’ll get them on the right track if they can avoid idiots thinking a Prius as a getaway car. Also? Jonathan Crompton is going to get drafted. And not as a joke either. Georgia: Winning the rivalry game does not heal all wounds, but wrecking the Paper BEEEEEEEEEEEEEES can help heal many of them.  LSU: Les Miles winning, by a field goal? OUTRAGEATORIOUS! Ole Miss: A fern could have coached a five win season out of this team. Getting eight is not an impressive feat. Florida: You beat an infirm old man into unemployment. That’s a real Christian thing to do, Tim Tebow. Alabama: Could they have peaked on that game winning drive in the Arn Bowl? I’ll answer that question later. That drive was impressive. Damned impressive.  My projection will come shortly. WHOO.

PODCAST: Colin Powell on Leadership

SpeedEndurance.com	Success in Track & Field ... and Life
In this issue: Colin L. Powell on Leadership Podcast ERRATA: "Death of Squats" Video Best of November 2009 Greetings, One of the highlights of my recent Bay Area trip was the keynote speech of General Colin L. Powell (ret). I was attending a Tech conference, where ALL the videos were recorded and distributed along with the PowerPoint slides. His keynote speech appeared on the website for about 3 days before it got yanked. I guess General Powell, who commends up to $200K appearance fee, might have asked the host to withdrawal the video. However, all is not lost. I did record the audio on my handy dandy Olympus DM-420 Digital Voice Recorder, and used some high tech software to clean up the original MP3 file onto a Windows WMA file. My podcast player thinks it's a Video WMA file which explains the funky looking display, but remember, it's content that matters. The opening introduction is Marc Benioff from Salesforce.com. So unless General Powell gives me a call to remove the file (unlikely), I will leave the audio file available to my readers. Here is the link. http://speedendurance.com/2009/11/20/colin-powell-on-leadership-video/ ERRATA: Last month I posted the wrong link to the Mike Boyle video on why you shouldn't do double leg squats. (I'd be chastised if I sent an immediate follow-up up email)  For those who are still interested, here is the link: http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=3355159 Disclaimer: the link is a sales page to his video product, where I earn a commission for every sale.

Rooney lavishes praise on team mates Posted: 01 Dec 2009 04:21 AM PST Antonio Valencia and Ryan Giggs are playing pivotal roles in helping Manchester United win another Premier League title, according to Wayne Rooney.   The England striker spoke to MUTV after his side's 4-1 win over Portsmouth on Saturday, a game in which Rooney grabbed himself a hat-trick, but it was the performance of 36-year-old Giggs which stole the headlines.   Rooney described his team mate as "amazing" and said it was a privilege to play with Giggs, who has played over 550 times for United and won 11 top division titles during his career.   "He plays more like a 26-year-old; he's up and down, he's everywhere. It's great for him to get his 100th Premier League goal. I didn't know (about the record) until after the game, but I'm delighted for him," said Rooney.   The forward was also quick to praise the contribution which summer signing Valencia has made since arriving from Wigan.   He described the Ecuadorian international as a big, strong and quick player who is looking a real threat as United seek glory in both the Premier League and Champions League.   Manchester United are currently sat second in the Premier League, five points behind leaders Chelsea, and travel to East London for a game against West Ham next weekend.   Before that, they have a home Carling Cup quarter-final tie against Tottenham on Tuesday night.
