The Express

ט"ז בטבת ה'תשס"ט (January 12, 2009) Film

If you’re a football fan, like I am 16 times a year, you might share a special appreciation for a breakaway run. Watch the quarterback hand the ball off to a running back, and watch him shoot like a rocket toward the line, twist and turn, jump and duck, maneuver, fade, feign, and then run [...]

On Honking

ב' בכסלו ה'תשס"ט (November 29, 2008) America

Like Dave Johns’ mother, I’d say I’m not much of a honker. That’s partly due to my personality and partly due to the way I learned to drive, which included lessons in defensive driving that emphasized preventing and avoiding collisions instead of just making them noisier. There are situations, however, when honking is very, very [...]

Intelligence: football vs. baseball

ט"ו בתשרי ה'תשס"ט (October 14, 2008) Sport

Why is there more intelligence on display in a week of football shows than in a year of Baseball Tonight? Easy. Football is several orders of magnitude more complex and intricate than baseball. Not to insult baseball fans – I used to be one as a child, and I still care mildly that “my” team [...]

What a night!

כ"ט באלול ה'תשס"ח (September 29, 2008) America

Mountain Dew code red. Thin mint girl scout cookies. The Redskins edging out the cowboys 26-24 in Dallas and being able to watch it on television. 11:15 pm – 2:30 am hasn’t felt this good in a while.

Damn I miss football.

א' במרחשון ה'תשס"ח (October 13, 2007) Good

Well, I recently managed with great pleasure to view on my computer the Redskins/Eagles game that was played in week three, almost a month ago. It had been so long since I’d seen a football game that I hardly remembered what it felt like. But it felt good, and I loved watching my beloved team [...]

America this, America that

כ"ז באייר ה'תשס"ו (May 25, 2006) Aliyah

Two weeks in America, it was good bad and all right, thanks for asking. Here’s what I missed in Israel while I was away: I don’t really know, the country slid a little bid further down the precipice; Scott is moving out because he found an apartment, so the hunt is on for a roommate; [...]

You may all call me Natan "Postseason" Gesher

ב' בטבת ה'תשס"ו (January 2, 2006) America

My team is going to the playoffs for the first time since I was a freshman in college (then, as now, I only caught snippets of the games and had to rely on reporting from family and friends in the DC area)! From 1992 until 2005 the Redskins were perennially a middling team, a team [...]
