Recently, I rather foolishly rekindled my interest in baseball cards. It was a cheap ploy under the Christmas Tree to spark my sons' interest in not only a boyhood hobby of mine, but also to maybe teach them something about the game I love. To my oldest, age 7, I gifted a 1976 O-Pee-Chee Mike Schmidt, one of my all-time favorite players, and the fake autograph in my very first baseball mitt, courtesy of the good folks at Franklin.

Dear Abby: I recently moved back home to help take care of my mom. We get along well, but there’s one major issue. She has to care for my brother’s four kids every day and is pretty much raising them. Because they are loud, whiny, rude and demanding, my mother snaps and yells at them constantly. It makes life miserable for everyone. My brother refuses to accept the fact that he’s taking advantage of our mom financially and emotionally. He has plenty to say about me moving back home...

Tom Saintfiet, Ernst Middendorp, Giovanni Solinas and Denis Lavagne - all former Free State Stars coaches - advised Luc Eymael against taking the job at the Bethlehem-based outfit in August last year.
“I phoned all these guys because they are my friends, and they all told me I was going to the bush, where there’s a stupid chairman (Mike Mokoena), stupid people. But it’s been the complete opposite,” the 58-year-old Eymael says.

Dortmund (dpa) - Ein Comeback von Fußball-Weltmeister Mario Götze beim Rückrundenstart von Borussia Dortmund gegen den VfL Wolfsburg am 14.

Stöger will aber keinen «unnötigen Druck» aufbauen. Читать дальше...

This evening I received a response to my article on the way Iwobi and Alexis restricted our attack versus West Brom by constantly moving into the middle and how Wenger failed to change this.

I’d say that if I met him I’d come away with the same respectful words and fuzzy feeling that others do. Читать дальше...
