Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (11/11/2011)

It’s 11/11/11…make a wish?  How about thanking a veteran?  Sports labor battles are not only occurring in the United States.  The Israeli women’s basketball league is currently on strike.  I am already looking forward to the 2012 World Baseball Classic…if Israel is able to successfully lobby its way into the event.  Kudos to Shawn Green, […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (9/10/2010)

Rosh Hashanah ends and Shabbat begins.  College football and NFL football are back.  No doubt, the year has officially begun.  With a full slate of college and professional games on TV this Saturday and Sunday, I doubt many people will be making out of their houses this weekend.  That gives you plenty of an opportunity […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (12/11/09)

No more Gators Football Championship talk out of me.  Alabama played one heck of a game, and it was readily apparent that the multiple injuries + Dunlap’s stupid arrest held us back from putting up a serious fight.  I hate to see Nick Saban win after the way he treated the loyal Miami Dolphins fans […]
