No Comments » May 27th, 2009 maxlance1 Seems like there isn’t a definitive guide on where to watch European soccer in L.A. There are plenty of pubs that will have the game on, but won’t have many fans or the sound on (Busby’s for example). But here is a starter guide for pubs that get some smart soccer fans and put the [...]
April 23rd, 2009 maxlance1 A couple years ago David Beckham signed up to the play for the L.A. Galaxy MLS team with the promise of making soccer matter in America, which was sort of like if Tony Blair had joined Air America radio to make that matter as well. Two months ago, the Galaxy loaned him to an Italian [...]
April 22nd, 2009 maxlance1 I dislike it when people ask me about my extreme sport pursuits without recognizing the scant possibilities of doing anything close to extreme sports when you have a Jewish mother. It’s a lose-lose situation. Either you go out and try and compete in extreme sports, but then you endlessly get nagged about your padding being [...]
April 22nd, 2009 maxlance1 Ever have someone describe the details of the marathon or triathlon that they plan on running and you feel more fatigued than if you were to actually take part in the event? Triathletes are the worst because they make you feel like such a waste of life. “I’m going to bike for 100 miles, swim [...]
April 21st, 2009 maxlance1 It seems like every year the left field bleachers at Dodger Stadium are increasingly turning into Juarez, Mexico. Granted it’s a fine line between saying that places with an overwhelming number of a certain race are ghetto and not being offensive, but man, those left field bleachers are ghetto. I tried buying Cracker Jacks and [...]

It shouldn’t have been too surprising because ads are posted everywhere: on players’ jerseys, on the field, along the walls, on the stadium and so on, but something really annoyed me [...]

This is a game of remarkable difficulty that requires tremendous wit, foresight and intelligence that has been mastered by people sleeping on duct-taped cardboard boxes. In fact, chess is one of very [...]
February 20th, 2009 maxlance1 I went to the Yankee game on Wednesday night and rain was expected. Get there a little early, no drizzle yet, but the tarp was down and batting practice had been cancelled just in case. Around ten minutes before game time it started pouring. The good thing about sitting all the way up in the [...]
