Som muligens noen av dere kjenner til så er jeg veldig glad i å gå på ski, spesifikt langrenn. Derfor er det naturlig at Vasaloppet er det store målet! Ni mil i verdens eldste og største langrenn. Derfor syntes jeg det var litt morsomt når jeg oppdaget Team Xtra Personnel appen: , en stakningsapp. For [...]
TV2 skulle lage et innslag for Nyhetsmorgen i forbindelse med lanseringen av Moneyball i Norge. Filmen med Brad Pitt har premiere imorgen (6. januar). ØHIL Royals fikk oppgaven å vise at det faktisk finnes baseball i Norge, så Philip som leder baseballgruppen inviterte statistene Emil Fjellvang (Royals aller beste pitcher!) og undertegnede – så det [...]
Revisjons og konsulentselskapet Grant Thornton i Storbritannia viser i en rapport hvordan sommerens nye kontrakter og overganger har påvirket de engelska ligaene og klubbene. • Premier League dobbler omtrent inntektene fra spillersalg, hvilket minsker utgiftene sammenlignet med ifjor sommer. • Kjøp og salg skjer alt mer mellom klubbene i Premier League, enn mellom Premier League [...]
Toppidretten i Norge har i mange år vært fullstendig fraværende i grønne/energi og klimaspørsmål. Mitt enkle spørsmål er hvorfor? Et at de siste årenes engasjement er Earth Hour, hovedsaklig utviklet av Trigger Oslo for IKEA (så da teller den vel egentlig ikke??) – særlig når Egil Olsen egentlig ikke fikk lov til å delta fra [...]
Ja, jeg får vel nesten si det, slutten av september og alt! Og som vanlig for mitt vedkommende avsluttes den med Friends Golf. Vi har de siste 20 årene (en innrømmelse at man blir eldre…) reist til Himmerland i Danmark hvert år, denne helgen i september. Sånn ble det ikke i år – Himmerland “glemte” [...]
Den meget dyktige og tenkende Martin Bekkelund skriver idag på sin blogg at vi nå skal utsettes for skirøveri, at Ski VM er nok et arrangement som sprekker og skattebetalere sitter igjen med regningen. Jeg ser hvor Bekkelund vil og kan sympatisere med tankene, men jeg mener at han tar feil på to punkter. Han [...]
Yet again I have to write something about this amazing handballplayer! Despite his 30 cigarettes a day he still deliveres! Yesterday he, almost on his own, won the game between Denmark and Croatia at the European Championships in Austria. Just wanna say what an incredible player he is! And I do think Croatia, yet again, [...]
For the first time in ten years, AIK, wins the Swedish league premier league Allsvenskan. My deepest congratulations and joy! One of my four favorite teams wins this year, the other ones are Oakland A’s, Brann and West Ham, so you could see why I’m happy! But, Allsvenskan, compared to Europe, is one of the [...]
It has become quite clear that the morons calling themselves supporters are more and more destroying the fun of watching football in Sweden. Last week the chairman of Hammarby (one of the big clubs in Stockholm) resigned because of death threats. I mean, what on earth are these people thinking about? How could you expect [...]
ØHIL Royals, the baseball team for Bærum, are in a 0-2 hole in the Norwegian championships against the defending champions Oslo Pretenders. A good video article from Budstikka tells you why:
I had plan to write a hot lof of stuff regarding the elections here in Norway, but when I saw Usain Bolt last night, that kind of performance deserves a blog post on it’s own! What can you say, except wow! This must be one of the single most impressive sports performances ever, shattering the [...]
I have commented it other places like Twitter, but it was kind of amazing to see that Lucas Glover played so well in the end, I thought that Ricky Barnes would hold on to it, the the pressure must have been too much, so he kinda’ collapsed at the U.S. Open…. And, I really liked [...]
Yesterday, in one of the biggest rivaliries in sports, the game between by Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, the centerfielder from Boston Red Sox Jacoby Ellsbury, stole homeplate! This sure is a rare thing – and it’s so fun to watch! Now I’m just waiting for the speedsters in Oakland A’s to do [...]
On my way to see Brann-Vålerenga in the Norwegian Tippeliga, and the morons strikes here in Norway. A huge fight just outside the Nationalteatret subway station – about 50 people. I don’t have anything else that despise and hatred for these people, they are destroying everything about football! Now I’m looking forward to see Brann [...]
So, it’s time again – Major League Baseball has started again. So what will happen this year?? To be honest, I don’t dare to guess, my guesses last year was so terrible, but some predictions entering the 2009 season: New York Yankees will miss the postseason again, Red Sox and Rays will be strong! Rich [...]
And it was a really good game, here is the wrapup: Japan Wins The World Baseball Classic
Since there has been two matches played in the Norwegian tippeliga, this is my shot at guessing what will be the outcome. Rosenborg Brann Stabekk Tromsø Viking Lillestrøm Molde Fredrikstad Lyn Bodø/Glimt Strømsgodset Start Vålerenga Sandefjord Aalesund Odd Grenland On paper, this should, unfortunately, be a walk in the park for the trønder boys…
I read this article yesterday, written by ESPN senior writer Jayson Stark, about Sports Illustrated article Alex Rodriguez tested positive for steroids in 03. Mr Stark is very angry and I do agree, like he says in his article “In baseball, we love our numbers. And we love our heroes. And that brings us to [...]
So what do I do, go skiing of course. Handball World Championships is over, so is Super Bowl (great game by the way, go Bucs!) Here is a view from yesterday Sunday, and absolute brilliant day skiing – I don’t know hoe to prepare my skis, a lot of people and dogs, but I was [...]
Norway lost against Poland in a decisive game at Handball World Championships. Two goals up with two minutes to go – I was quite convinced Norway was in the semifinals. . But it didn’t happen – Kristian Kjelling, probably Norways best player so far during the Championships, lost it in the final seconds, and all [...]
