A surprise at U.S. Open

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 […]

Fun things happens in baseball

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 […]

The casuals are destroying fotball!

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 […]

A new baseball season!

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 […]

My guess about Tippeligaen

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…

Baseball in crisis, again

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 […]

Winter at last

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 […]

How could it happen?

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 […]

Money can’t buy everything, sometimes…

The Brazilian superstar Ricardo Kaka refused to go from Milan to Manchester City,despite The Premier League club’s audacious bid to sign the Brazilian star in a £100million-plus deal. He was happy where he is. Two points, his making a huge marketing impact as one of the few sports superstars saying no to a better bid […]

Handball World Championships – Denmark vs Serbia

One of the most amazing handball games I have ever seen, the game between Denmark and Serbia in the World Championships in Croatia. It had everything! Denmark won 37-36 – I’m very scared what this Serbian team could do against Norway in a couple of days.

New manager for Norway

It happened, Åge Hareide withdraw from his position as the manager for the Norwegian football team. Not surprisingly, looking at the results the last year. My idea, get Guus Hiddink, buy out Steinar Nilsen as manager for Brann and get Hareide as the new manager for Brann – that’s the best solution for all parties!

Things happen in Oakland, maybe…

Is really Oakland A’s gonna’ sign Rafael Furcal, well, every sign says so. But $48 millions, hey ya, it’s a lot of money. Anyway, if this really happens, and I would love to – think of the infield combo of Furcal and Mark Ellis! I just don’t want this to happen! Rafael Furcal Error Night […]

Steinar Nilsen – new manager in Brann

Steinar Nilsen, the former manager of Tromsø, signed a three-year contract with Brann today, starting January 1st 2009. Despite having pushed Tromsø to third-place in Tippeligaen 2008, I really don’t know. I’m hoping for the best, but I’m skeptical. Going abroad this time I think would be a good idea, why not trying something new […]

Is really Oakland A’s trading for Matt Holiday?

The A’s are working to complete a trade with the Rockies that would bring Matt Holliday to Oakland. One of the sources said said reliever Huston Street, lefty starter Greg Smith and outfielder Carlos Gonzalez were among the players who had been discussed in recent days. Why, beats me since it’s only a one year […]

Phillies win the World Series

The Philadelphia Phillies just won World Series. If that sounds strange, it was strange. Nearly 50 hours after Game 5 started but was stopped by rain, Brad Lidge and the Phillies finished off the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 in a three-inning sprint Wednesday night and won the series 4-1. Left in limbo by a two-day […]

Tampa Bay Rays to the World Series

The doubts have smothered the Tampa Bay Rays all season. From arduous games to demanding tests, the Rays were expected to fade away. Sooner or later, the inspirational Rays would go home. But the Rays are not going home after all. They are going to the World Series. By advancing to the World Series, the […]

Selling Torstein Helstad to France

Ok, this will be my last summer (agurk..) comment, but I feel strongly about it. Torstein Helstad, topscorer in Brann (my team) and the Norwegian Tippeliga, has been sold to France, and almost everybody is furious. Except me, I think it was the absoulte right thing do – the season is anyway lost, Helstad is […]
