It’s the top of July.. it’s hot.. and the only semblance of the big 3 sports is middle-season MLB.  This is the time of the year for the NFL, NBA, and NHL (to a certain extent) alternatives make their big TV pushes.  Some might argue that golf and tennis should be included as major sports […]

This past Saturday I spent a few minutes talking to my friend Leo (originally from Moscow) about some of the differences between the pre-kickoff festivities for a soccer match and a football game. He clearly prefers football, even though he finds the game itself excruciatingly boring, simply for the social aspect of the pre-game tailgate.
