First off, hats off to the kids from Taiwan and California that played for the Little League World Series. Personally, I do not believe that youth sports should be broadcast on national television (games were on ESPN).

A rugby team is like a family; you sweat together, you bleed together, you drink together- the list could go on. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to play the game; those that play form a bound that is unlike any other. So when one of our own went down it was time to rally the troops and do what we can to help our teammate and friend.

I found it very hard to process an incident that has happened last year. The New York Times recently printed an update on an Islamic woman who will be punished for drinking a beer in Malaysia.

Rugby fans in the U.S. are often forced to order special channels and be up at strange hours if they are interested in catching a match on television.

Good news for college students, bad news for college administrators. This year, students are celebrating homecoming with Anheuser-Busch’s “Fan Cans.”

In the most controversial move of the 2009 preseason the Philadelphia Eagles signed convicted felon Michael Vick to a two year contract. The move came to a surprise to many with incumbent quarterback Donavan McNabb in place as well as his heir apparent, 2008 draft pick Kevin Kolb. Third stringer A.J. Feeley has had success when put into action as well.

You got to love it when the executives for the boys of summer try to make it interesting. This last week saw a slew of trades being executed, some which may have some huge implications for the playoffs.
