By Cari, on March 10th, 2013% Tom Coughlin signing his book at Barnes & Noble
this blog has been mostly travel and weight loss journey with the occasional foray into sports. Today, is one of those forays because I just finished reading the best book I’ve read in a very long time. Tom Coughlin’s Earn the Right to Win.
I don’t tend to put athletes on pedestals because Here, There be Dragons or Tigers or whichever term for danger you prefer. It generally comes to no good end. Celebrities, athletes or otherwise, are just everyday people who live their lives in the spotlight. That’s no . . . → Keep Going: Tom Coughlin: Earn the Right to Win
By Cari, on December 27th, 2010% yep another of those it’s not a football blog, except when it is. That tends to be when they lose. And, in this case, because I’m too verbose for Twitter on this. There will be more on topic and on the snowpocalypse later.
I’ll never be convinced that Tom Coughlin or Eli are the anti-christ, I just won’t be. Do they have their faults? Yes. Are they the reasons behind the GIants’ struggles? Not alone.
ELI MANNING: On the benching of Eli that so many seemed to want yesterday. Yes, the INTs are annoying as hell. Yes he . . . → Keep Going: on Tom Coughlin and the Giants
By Cari, on October 10th, 2010% NFL. Weight Loss. Life. My attempt at blogging. Anything but the Yankees.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m absolutely thrilled with the Giants being 3-2 and two strong wins, but there are a lot of crap teams in the NFL. Not crap as in “oh my god they’re awful”, but crap as in “really? You didn’t know you needed to show up all four quarters?” But of course, I’m watching all of it. I am a junkie.
I shouldn’t be calling 51 lbs lost mediocre, I know that. I’m just in a rut and it’s frustrating. Shouldn’t be, because it’s on . . . → Keep Going: Shades of Mediocrity
By Cari, on October 2nd, 2010% Huh?
I don’t agree with, but I can at least understand, some of the logic behind calling for Tom Coughlin’s head. People are frustrated with on field product and it’s on Coach to make players play. Fine. Don’t think it’s Coach’s fault that there’s been some sloppy and unprofessional (ripping helmets off) play, but I can see a scapegoat. Moving on from that.
But Reese? I’m not even talking about the Super Bowl honeymoon. Issues in the last 2.5 seasons have been injuries and inconsistent play. Is Kiwi suddenly a bad draft because he got hurt? Ditto Chad Jones . . . → Keep Going: So now we’re after Reese’s head too?
By Cari, on September 20th, 2010% …except when it is one.
and it has been one in the past too. It also tends to go back to its roots and turn into a travel blog, there may be more of that later.
Lots more photos of the trip. Public link should work – if you have any issues please let me know.
There were two things that made yesterday’s shellacking better. Not OK, but better:
* I vowed to have a good time no matter what happened. Life is too short to have a long weekend ruined by the game outcome. And . . . → Keep Going: it’s not a football blog…
By Cari, on May 2nd, 2010% with Eli Manning 5/2/2010
I’m still bouncing over meeting Eli Manning this morning. Gatorade/GNC had an event for National Signing Day here in NYC and I went and lined up. Wasn’t as crazy as some who camped out over night but I stood for three hours in the sun. Can I get some add’l APs for that? I didn’t even track the walking to and from the subway because I wasn’t wearing my HRM and basically count that as part of what I did pre WW anyway.
I look at some photos and want to cringe. I can’t even . . . → Keep Going: a good day *and* a photo I don’t hate?
