Lynne Kiesling I know, he’s no spring chicken, and I know, he’s had lots of back trouble, but I’m still totally psyched that my Penguins have signed free agent John LeClair. We have a lot of good offense now; I hope we have enough defense to accompany it.
Lynne Kiesling There’s a rumor circulating that Comcast and the National Hockey League are on the verge of a broadcast agreement. The purported deal would involve two games per week on OLN. It’s not clear what other games would be allowed to be televised, although there is another outstanding agreement with NBC for some games …
Lynne Kiesling In the comments to the prior post, Steve from The Modulator suggests seeing the videos of Stages 14 and 15. In looking for them, I’ve found that VeloNews has video highlights by stage for folks in the US. More economics content this afternoon; I am writing and conference-calling.
Lynne Kiesling Today’s stage 14 was a grueling Pyrenées mountain stage with a thrilling finish, even on online-only coverage. Have to get OLN next year … I won’t give any spoilers for those of you who slept in or are on the left coast. In getting up early this AM I found that Yahoo has …
Lynne Kiesling 5km to go on a 22km, 6.2 degree climb into Courchevel, and Lance Armstrong is in the lead with three others whom he is likely to be able to sprint out at the finish. A likely stage win today. Voigt is 13′ back, which would give Lance the yellow jersey as well. This …
Lynne Kiesling In addition to the Daily Peleton and Cycling News links for following the Tour, I also recommend Blognor Regis’s commentary. I was particularly amused by his post on Robbie McEwen’s head-butting incident. Tired? Rested! Tee hee. Today’s a rest day, much needed, given the average speeds they’ve been achieving thus far.
Lynne Kiesling I’ve been following the Tour with two different sites: Daily Peleton for good graphics and well-written post-stage commentary, and Cycling News for five-minute updates during the stages. The combination has done a pretty good job of creating the sense of energy and excitement of the Tour, even without seeing it. I was also …
Lynne Kiesling So last night I ended up at the main BBC page, and the lead story and picture was of the England women’s soccer team. Right now the Euro 2005 Women’s Championship is going on, with England v. Denmark today (go England!). This is another great reason to love the Internet. I had no …
Lynne Kiesling So we stayed up late Thursday night to watch the replay of the Liverpool-AC Milan UEFA Champion’s Cup match, which we had not seen on Wednesday as we were both working. What a hum-dinger of a game! Definitely the best comeback story I’ve seen in a long time. I stayed up through the …
Lynne Kiesling Ooooooh! If only I were better organized. I am going to visit dear friends in Hamburg this weekend, but if I had paid a lick of attention I would have chosen to be in Paris on Sunday for the kickoff of the 103rd Paris-Roubaix, one of the classic bicycle races in all the …
