American Rugby Fans Thrown Under the Bus by Setanta Sports…

5 Comments 29 January 2010

One of my contacts from an old boys rugby group shared the following (bad)news
release the other day:

http://www.setanta.com/us/Customer- Info-Articles/ SETANTA-SPORTS- USA-AGREES-
TO-TERMS- WITH-FOX- SOCCER-CHANNEL/ gnid-59836/

Like any news story, there is always what the journalist, the late Paul Harvey
would say "There is the REST of the story".  Here is my "rest of the story" as
an American who has tried to follow the sport of rugby in my country for the
past several years.

About 10 Christmases ago, my wife surprised me with Direct TV, as I could not
get my regular fix of rugby or English soccer/football watching cable TV. In the
beginning, I was able to watch a lot of rugby on Fox Sports World: 6 Nations,
Super 12 (at the time), Tri Nations and the Rugby World Cup. For somebody who
had to follow rugby by having news clippings sent from my Beziers-born friend
Jean-Paul in France, this was a MAJOR step in the right direction.

Life was good.
foxsoccerchannel1
Over time, it seemed like Fox Sports World was showing rugby less and less. To
the point where "The Rugby Club", with Max Bretos holding court was on only once
a week...at 4 AM. Finally, the break was complete and Fox Sports World sold
their souls and became Fox Soccer Channel. My disappointment could only have
been more complete had my lovely red-headed bride decided to tell me she
preferred women.

Then I found out that Direct TV had Setanta Sports, which offered 6 Nations,
Tri-Nations, Heineken Cup, The Guiness Premiership, The Magners League, The New
Zealand and South African Domestic competitions, and all of the World Cup
matches back in 2007. I was able to watch as much rugby as I could watch and
record.

Life was good, again.

Good news, like fame, is a fleeting thing. The decision by Setanta sports to
throw American rugby fans under the bus and sell out it's USA programming to FSC
may not have been as catostrophic as the events in Haiti and the Middle
East...but it was still a very bitter pill to swallow that programming on
Setanta will stop in the USA at the end of February. The key to the Setanta
kingdom is their rights to the EPL and SPL in soccer-that FSC surely coveted.
The question in all of this will be if FSC will exercise the option to show any
of the rugby that was shown on Setanta.
sslogo
One little bit of good news is that BBC America announced that they will show
some of the 6 Nations matches starting the first weekend in February with
England-Wales.
http://www.bbcamerica.com/comingsoon.jsp 

Still, for those of us who love the game of rugby in the USA, the loss of
Setanta Sports and it's rugby programming is a huge blow to us all, and we are
very much in a state of flux.

To be continued....

Heineken Cup 2009-10 :French Clubs are Back on Their Feet…

1 Comment 25 January 2010

heineken-cup-trophy_2399996davis-skrela

In last year's Heineken Cup, Toulouse was the only French side to make it
through to the quarterfinal, where they were eliminated right away by #1 seed
Cardiff.

2009-10 seems to be a different vintage for French rugby, both at the national
team level and the club level, where four Top 14 clubs (Clermont Auvergne,
Toulouse, Stade Francais and Biarritz) will be playing in the quarter finals
with the following matchups: Munster-Northampton(the only English
Club),Leinster-Clermont Auvergne, Biarritz-Ospreys and the most interesting
match up of the lot: Toulouse hosting the Auld Enemy, Stade Francais.
toulouse-retrouvera-le-stade-francais-au-stadium
Spare a thought for "Les Jaunards". Poor Clermont Auvergne... After years of
being stuck in "Groups of Death", where they played entertaining rugby, but
always came up short for making it out of pool play, the Michelin men finally
make it to the quarter finals...where Leinster, last years champs (loaded with
talent from the Irish National Team), will be playing Clermont at Croke Park.
The winner of Leinster-Clermont will get the winner in the fratricidal
quarterfinal between Toulouse and Stade Français.
aurelien-rougerie-v-viadana_2371958
In the other half of the draw, Munster will have to like it's chances of hosting
the lone English club left in Northampton. Munster has looked very good, indeed,
during Heineken Cup play. The winner of that quarterfinal will get the winner of
Biarritz-Ospreys, with that match to be played in the Spanish side
of Basque country in Saint Sebastien. Good to see Takudzwa Ngwenya showing
good form with Biarritz, scoring a try against Edinburgh. For USA Rugby
to continue to improve, having American rugby players able to play
at the highest level is a great thing for the development of our players, and
The Heineken Cup is a very high level.
ngwenya_2410948
 From a neutral point of view, If I'm Munster, I have to like
my chances of making it through to the final to played in Paris in May. As good
as Leinster is, you have to think that one of the 3 French Clubs will make it
out of that end of the draw to make the final in Paris. At this point, I think
if Clermont can survive it's tough quarterfinal with Leinster, they just might
be able to dump either Toulouse or Stade Francais. Sometimes I think it might be
too easy to read too much into a club's domestic form, but Toulouse seems to
find a way to play at a higher level when they get into Heineken Cup
competition, no matter what they are doing in the Top 14. 

One thing for sure. There is a lot of rugby to be played before the final at le
Stade France in St. Denis in May. I would love to see Munster play either Clermont
or Toulouse in the final. I think a match up like that would produce some very
compelling rugby.

American Football

A Texas-Sized Beat-Down…

0 Comments 19 January 2010

ray-edwardsI have to apologize for a rare jotting on American Football, but you have to
understand that I am still in a really good mood after the Minnesota Vikings
gave the Dallas Cowboys a major 34-3
mauling at the Metrodome in Minneapolis on Sunday afternoon.
sidney-rice
Being a Minnesota Vikings fan means that you are used to being disappointed- not
too unlike a Leeds Carnegie fan in rugby, or a Manchester City fan in
football/soccer. In the 50 years that the Vikings have been in the NFL, they
have been to and lost 4 Super Bowls. They have not even been to a Super Bowl
since I was a sophomore in high school, back in 1977.
pg2_g_cowboyscheerleader_200
I confess, I used to dislike the Cowboys, particularly after Drew Pearson's
infamous offensive pass interference against Nate Wright back in the 1975
playoffs when he hauled in Roger Staubach's "Hail Mary Pass" and broke Viking
hearts back at the old Metropolitan Stadium(where the Mall of America sits now).
I loved living in Texas during the 4 years I lived in San Antonio when I was in
the Air Force back in the 80's-but I confess I grew to hate the Dallas Cowboys
during my time in the Lone Star State. The reason was the Cowboy fans were just
insufferable. They were gloating winners and on the rare chance when they lost,
their fans could never give your team credit for playing a good game, they would
invariably drawl "Well, you know, that was not the REAL Dallas Cowboys that lost
the game."
7984a2a866246e2e
It should be said that in American Football, the Dallas Cowboys are in the rare
group of teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49'ers, who have
won the Super Bowl 5 times. It's a team that oozes money(The just built a new
Billion dollar stadium in the Dallas area) and sex appeal(The Dallas Cowboy
Cheerleaders were the first group of NFL cheerleaders to take on a life of their
own beyond the football team) The Cowboys are an NFL team that transcends sport,
and has a national following in the USA.

That means that I enjoyed yesterday's Cowboy  beat-down at the hands of the
Vikings...immensely.
p1tony-romoap2

The Vikings played a very complete game in beating the Cowboys. Brett Favre
threw 4 Touchdown passes, 3 of them to Sidney Rice, who until this season had
not done very much wearing the Viking purple, but has played very, very well
this season with Brett Favre getting the ball to him. As impressive as the
offense was, the Viking Defense played an even better game, holding the pokes to
no touchdowns and just a field goal. The defense gave the type of beating to
Cowboy offense that one usually associates with Elin Nordegren laying out on her
soon-to-be ex-husband, Tiger Woods.

The Cowboys, not used to such a throttling on national TV, took umbrage with a
late touchdown pass that Favre threw to Visanthe Shiancoe with two minutes left
with the Vikings with a 4th down with 3 yards to go, and the Vikings leading
27-3. Immediately after the score Cowboy linebacker Keith Brooking sprinted over
to the Viking bench to accuse the Vikings of trying to run up the score. I guess
he would have been happier if the Vikings had just gone for he Field Goal. What
a whiner...

The Vikings are a game away from making it back to the Super Bowl, This year to
be played in Miami. To do that, the Vikings will have to go down to the New
Orleans Superdome and hope that they can bring their A game again against a
very, very good New Orleans Saints team-a team that in over 40 years has never
been to a single Super Bowl. It's a city that can use a shot of good news after
it was all but obliterated and flooded out during Hurricane Katrina back in
2005.
236px-hurricane_katrina_august_28_2005_nasa
 It's been tough sledding for the people of New Orleans recovering from
that disaster. As much as I would like the Vikings to win, I can honestly say
that I would not be that heart-broken if the Saints win next Sunday.
brett-favre
There is a more than a Super Bowl riding on next Sunday's game. Way back when
the Minnesota Vikings signed Favre this summer, I was very skeptical about
having the 39(now 40) year old quarterback wearing purple. For starters, he had
played many, many years for the Green Packers, the arch-rival of the Vikings.
Rooting for Favre was going to be like having an ex-girlfriend marry your
brother. You want to be happy, but you feel really conflicted about it. The
other part of my concern was how poorly he played last year for the New York
Jets-particularly in the last month. I made a bet with my work on the Spinal
Cord Unit a the VA Medical Center in Minneapolis that if Favre could bring the
Vikings to the Super Bowl, I would wear a dress-of my co-worker's choice- to
work for my co-workers and the patients to see.

If the Vikings win and I end up wearing a dress to work, my embarrassment will
be worth it. To be continued...

Como Voce` Se Sente Hoje ?

1 Comment 16 January 2010

The above question is “How are you feeling today?” in Portuguese. My answer: Feliz (Happy)

The reason for my joy is multi-fold:

1. My wife and I just confirmed our plane tickets to go to Lisbon, Portugal next month

lisbon-tourism-hotels-guide

2. We spent less than we thought we would (less than 900 dollars round trip for both me and my wife)

a-margem1

3. We will be able to stay with our former exchange student, Rodrigo and his parents. (no hotel fees!)

4. We will be able to see Rodrigo, who have not seen in almost two years.

5. I will be able to see some rugby, as Portugal will be hosting a Rugby World Cup qualifier against Georgia-in a pivotal game for both teams.

logo_fpr

6. The weather should be around 60 degrees, Fahrenheit (about 15 degrees Celsius)-that is a helluva lot warmer than my hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

7. I know for many of my British friends, there are many of their compatriots who go to Portugal. Very few of my fellow Americans even know where Portugal is…many think that it’s a part of Spain or in South America. (Rodrigo got to see just how ignorant many of my compatriots are about the world) not as many Americans take the opportunity to check out Portugal.

portugal_map

8. I might get a chance to see Benfica play a football/soccer match at the Estadio Da Luz.  On previous trips to Europe, I have seen Aston Villa lose to Fulham in an FA Cup match in England, and Marseille and Bordeaux play to a 1-1 tie at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille.

200px-sl_benfica_logosvg

9. Having a chance to sample Portuguese cuisine and wines…

What a difference 24 hours can make. My mood is SO much better.

If anybody has suggestions of what to do or see in the Lisbon area, I am open to suggestions.

I Need a Vacation

2 Comments 15 January 2010

Winter in Minnesota and dealing with some insufferable people at my phone triage job have me looking to get out of the Upper Midwest for a few days in February. I have been studying air-fares like mad for the past few weeks. By the end of the weekend, I should know where my wife and I are headed next month.It’s tough, because our budget is tight, but I need a change of scenary in a bad way.

This picture of my bulldog Buddha sums up my mood this week.

Super Joe Steals the Show at the Metropolis RFC Awards Banquet.

0 Comments 12 January 2010

This past Saturday, my rugby club  http://metropolisrugby.com/ had it's annual
banquet at Jax in northeast Minneapolis. http://jaxcafe.com/

Since joining up with Metropolis RFC back in 2006, it's one of my favorite times
of the year. It's great to see everybody all decked out Some of the guys have
some kilts and cool blazers and things they have picked up on their travels to
England with Metropolis. It's even BETTER to see all of the wives and
girlfriends who are dressed to the nines-and mind you, in spite of some beat-up
and gnarly looking guys on our club, there are a lot of really fine looking
wives and significant others, who are dressed to kill every year for the
banquet-including my own lovely red-headed bride.
img_00933

This year, along with the usual awards, the board came up with a unanimous
decision to induct a new member into the Metropolis RFC hall of fame-it's first
induction in 5 years. The club picked an  "Old Boy" who I thought was the
perfect choice to give the induction speech: Anton Demytrenko was a hooker for
the club back in the 80's and 90's. His very Ukrainian name belies an English
upbringing, accent and  demeanor that would not be out of place as a lecturer  at
Oxford or Cambridge or giving political commentary on the BBC World Service.
Anton gave a very moving and eloquent introduction of the newest member of the
Metropolis RFC Hall of Fame: Joe "Super Joe" Kiley.
img_0090
Joe Kiley and I are both the same age. We are both guys. We both belong to
Metropolis RFC...that's where the similarities end. When Joe Kiley hits the
rugby pitch, he is not just "good for an old guy"-Joe can still bring it-period.
I have seen it myself more times than I can count when I have had the privilege
of being on the field while he's out there, particularly a couple of years ago
on the Green Bay trip, when he left more than a few much younger players
grasping at air. He's a helluva tackler, too. But like a lot of good players in
the sport of rugby, as good a player as Joe is, he is an even better person in a
social setting.
get-attachment2
This was really a fun time at the banquet-but
seeing Super Joe(to left of me in this shot) inducted into the
Metropolis Hall of Fame was a wonderful thing to witness.

A Shout-Out to the 10 Most Famous Men in Nursing

0 Comments 09 January 2010

In a rare foray away from the world of sport, I would like to share this
 little tidbit from the blogosphere on Thursday night.

When you are man in the nursing profession, you owe it to other men who put up
intro_max200wwith
a lot of flack and sniggering about what they decided to do for their
line of work. After thinking about it,  I thought this top 10 list
was worth sharing with visitors to my blog.

These men are to my profession what Gareth Edwards, John Eales and Jonah Lomu
are to rugby players, they are a benchmark of heart and excellence...
they are what we strive to be. 

Here is the link with the list:

Happy New Year!

1 Comment 02 January 2010

It does not seem like it was that long ago when everybody was scared about Y2K. Well, that’s now a distant memory now that the “noughties” are gone. So do we call the new year “Twenty-Ten”, “Two-Oh-One-Oh”( Sounds like C3PO and R2D2’s bastard love child), or “Two Thousand Ten”? I guess I am leaning towards the first one. One thing for sure, I am going to try to enjoy time I have with my Grandson,duncansteveleves because it’s a safe bet that by the fall, he, my son Ian and Duncan’s mom Andrea will be moving out of state, because there just are not many teaching jobs to be had here in Minnesota.

I had a very nice Christmas with the family, and Santa Claus gave me a really nice Cannon Camera, so I can take more pictures of my Grandson, Duncan get-attachmentaspxand my animals.(Two dogs and now 3 cats after I ended up with my sister’s cat from a messy divorce…don’t ask) Oh, yeah…and my lovely red-headed bride (see above with me and Duncan)

I am in the process of trying to pick up more hours at work. I will have some time off in February, and I would like to take my wife on a trip to someplace nice. It will be a challenge, because her hours at work have pretty much been whittled down to a hand full compared to what she had been working.  Still…we did not leave the country last year, and I noticed some good looking air line fares to Europe. One key thing is having a destination where we will be able to stay without having to be in a hotel or eat all of our meals in Restaurants-those two things can just make overseas travel prohibitive.

So, what all of this means is that I am going to need to pull some overtime the next 6 weeks. At this point, my top choices of where we will end up in either Lisbon, Birmingham(England), and Aix en Provence…It will be interesting to see what happens with the fares after a near terrorist bombing on that Delta flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas. Usually, there is a dip in fare costs, as people think twice about overseas travel. As for me, I am not going to let those bastards dictate what I am going to do with my life.

If we go to Portugal to stay with our former exchange student, Rodrigo, I might actually be able to see a Rugby World Cup Qualifier between Portugal and Georgia. In the next couple of weeks, we’ll know more about where my wife and I will be going to in February. Stay tuned.

Invictus-A Review

2 Comments 24 December 2009

invictus-mv-273

I finally got around to seeing the film Invictus last night. I had been waiting
in keen anticipation to the Clint Eastwood- directed movie (based on John
Carlin's" Playing the Enemy") that stars Morgan Freeman( who also was a
producer) as South African President Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon, as Springbok
Invictuscaptain Francois Pienaar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invictus_(film) 

The movie Invictus
is the tale of how Nelson Mandela used the 1995 Rugby World Cup to unite
a very
bitterly divided country that was trying to shake off it's post Apartheid
hangover.

The title is based on William Ernest Henry's 1875 poem that
Nelson Mandela kept a
scribbled copy of it on a scrap of paper:
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Going into the movie, I was concerned if Matt Damon could pull off playing
François Pienaar. It's true that in real life, Pienaar is a good head taller
than Damon,Invictus but to his credit, Damon really
got
himself into rock-hard shape for the movie,
and I thought Damon did a decent job
doing a South African accent, as well as showing that the Springbok captain saw
himself as a sportsman first, but over time used his influence to get his mostly
Afrikaner team mates to get on board with learning the new South African
national anthem "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika"
and going to the black townships to do
rugby clinics as a way to introduce rugby to a part of the South African
population who considered rugby a white man's game.

Morgan Freeman should get an Oscar nomination for playing Nelson Mandela.
Freeman nailed President Mandela's manner of speech, his gait, leadership
skills, charisma  and Zen-master patience-of which Carlin wrote about in great
detail in his book. Freeman's Mandela showed the high-wire act that he had to do
with reconciling black hopes and white fears when South Africa went to "one man-
one vote." The movie did not go into minute detail, but did explain that
Mandela's personal relationships with his wife and children suffered greatly
while he was in prison, and did not improve after he left Robben Island. The
movie also showed the incredible self discipline Mandela had in his day-to-day
routine, from waking up before dawn, making his bed, exercising (There is a
reason why he is still alive and healthy in his early 90's) and having a simple
breakfast. 

Clint Eastwood showed us once again that he has a wonderful eye for the
visual-the movie images of Cape Town alone should be a shot in the arm for
tourism in the home of Newlands Stadium. Many of the shots of South Africa are
simply stunning. As good as he is with the visual in Invictus, Eastwood's real
gift is his ability to tell a story and make the viewer care about the
characters. He did this in Unforgiven and Gran Torino, but those movies were
fiction. Most of what happened in Invictus was based on real events. 

For me, the most compelling parts of the movie are when the Springboks go to a
lack township to do a rugby clinic for the kids, and watching these large,
white men just being playful boys to the black children of the township, and how
they were able to connect. It showed how sport and just playing can transcend
socio-economics and race.  The second compelling part of the movie for me was
when the Springboks go to Robben Island, the prison that housed Nelson Mandela
for so many years.  Pienaar actually goes into the cell where prisoner # 46664
(Mandela) spent so many years. The scene showing Pienaar imagining Mandela in
the cell(Eastwood actually got permission to shoot the scene in the actual cell)
and out in the rock yard, made this Afrikaner rugby player realize just how much
Nelson Mandela had been through, and the fact that he did not seem to hold any
bitterness or hatred towards him or the other Springbok players really touched
Pienaar greatly.
invictus-mv-mattdamon-432
Oh yeah, and Invictus has rugby. A tremendous amount of rugby, by the way. With
some minor exceptions, I thought the rugby sequences were very well done,
particularly in getting down the physicality of the game. A big chunk of the
last 30 minutes of the movie is the tight final between the Springbok and the
New Zealand All Blacks. There are a great many details that Eastwood and his
team got right: The uniforms, even the ugly jersey's the referees were wearing
in 1995, the heroic job of dozens of South African Women draining water off the
rain-sodden pitch in Durban before the semi-final with France, and the brutal
conditions under which that game was played. 

You don't have to be a rugby fan to appreciate Invictus.(My wife and daughter
both loved it, and were very moved, as well) Clint Eastwood did a superb job of
putting John Carlin's tale to the big screen, which showed just what a
remarkable statesman that Nelson Mandela was, and how he avoided a potential
civil war in South Africa. (That's not hyperbole-things very easily could have
spun out control) That said, I don't think rugby fans will be disappointed,
either. I went into the movie a skeptic, but left the theater giving Invictus a
very, very enthusiastic thumbs up.

Out of the Closet and onto the Pitch…

0 Comments 22 December 2009

150px-leplacard-2001-dvd1

In Francis Veber's 2001 comedy, Le Placard (The Closet), Gerard Depardieu does a
comic turn as a homophobic rugby coach who torments Daniel Auteuil's charachter,
who is pretending to be gay to avoid being fired by his condom-making employer.
In the end, the joke is on the macho-man rugby coach in a French farce that
poked a lot of fun at homophobia and stereotypes. 

796723In one of the biggest rugby stories of 2009,
former Welsh and British&Irish
Lions back and Captain Gareth Thomas made headlines in the past week by
admitting that he is gay-and unlike "Le Placard", this was no comedy, it was
very serious, as would be befitting a man who goes 6'4 and weighs 225 pounds
with an impressive resume` involving his rugby career.

Here in the USA, there have been very few athletes in the major sports like
Basketball, American Football, Baseball, Ice Hockey and NASCAR who have come out
about being gay. The few exceptions have been Esera Tuaolo(American Football),
John Amaechi(Basketball) and Billy Bean in Baseball. Among American Olympic
athletes, gold medalists Greg Louganis(diving) and Mark Tewksbury(swimming) are
among a small group of American male athletes who have come out as well. 

I don't think Gareth Thomas sees himself as some sort of "poster child" on his
coming out. I don't think that this is some sort of "love me because I'm gay"
publicity stunt. I think that he is a player of the highest integrity who just
felt compelled to come out of the closet. He was quoted as saying " I don't want
to be known as a gay rugby player. I am a rugby player first and foremost. I am
a man. I just happen to be gay. It's irrelevant. What I choose to do when I
close the door at home has nothing to do with what I have achieved in rugby." 

Unlike Tuaolo, Amaechi and Bean-marginal players at best in their professional
sports- Gareth Thomas is  a star of the game currently playing with the Cardiff
Blues and very high profile international rugby player, which includes over 100
selections for Wales and lifting a Heineken Cup while playing at Toulouse.

A pro athlete coming out about being gay should not be a major issue in 2009,
but the reality is that a high profile male professional athlete coming out
about their sexual orientation is certainly a watershed moment, particularly in
the testosterone fueled world of professional rugby.
